Subject: PROPOSITION'D INVESSTIMENT
Dear friend
I am MR ADAMS KULU , a credit officer of GLOBAL BANK PLC.
I plead your indulgence to assist us receive this money into your account.
In June, 1999, a German property consultant and importer of used cars ,
Mr Andreas Schranner made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve
calendar months, valued at US35,000,000.00(Thirty five Million United
StatesDollars only) in my bank. It was to our utter suprise that we heard of
hisdeath, wife and children in an AF4590 plane crash in July 2000.

On further investigation,I found out that he died without making a
WILL, and hitherto, all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
Mr Andreas Schranner was residing at No 1 Rue de Avenida,
G.R.A.Cotonou,Benin Republic. I therefore made further investigation and discovered
thatMr Andreas Schranner did not declare any kin or relations in
all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US35,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the
interest isbeing rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
No one have ever come forward to claim this fund.
According to Laws of Benin, at the expiration of 7 (seven) years,
the account will be frozen and forfeited to the Benin Government
if nobody applies to claim the funds.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to standin as the next of kin or business partner to Mr Andreas Schranner so
thatthe fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and
address, phone and fax numbers so that the attorney will prepare the
necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of
kin or business partner.
I have two of my colleagues who are top officials of the bank involved in this transaction.
Your role in the transaction is to send an application for claim of the
funds to our bank. Then, as top officials of the bank, we shall work
behind-the-scene to make sure that your application is approved by
the management of the bank,and the funds transfered to your nominated
bank account.
Please note that there is no risks involve in this transaction.
I assure you that all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done legitimately and with our positions as top officials of the bank
would ensure a successful execution of this transaction.
If you are willing to assist, please reply immediately to my email box.
Please send me your private telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
You should observe utmost CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY in this
transaction,and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable
for both of us because I will require your assistance to invest my
share in your country. I look forward to your prompt response.
