Subject: RE:REPLY THIS MAIL IMMDEDIATELY
Dear Sir,
I am Barr Mike wolfgang Attorney at law to here to Mr (Andreas Schranner
)here in Africa I am writing you this mail to sollicite for your full
support and co-operation to carry out this confidential opportunity in my
chambers.A foriegner client of mine who died with his entire family in a
plane crash here in Africa on the 25th 0f july 2000 ,leaving a huge amount
of money worthing( $1,835.000.00)one million eight hundred and thirty five
thousand dolars to no relative as the only child of his parents, in an
account with the Standard Chartered Bank Here in Africa.
For the past 4 years and some months now this account has remain dormant
with out any body applying for claims of this money through me,Because as
his attorney any claims over his property must be perfected by me. none of
his extended relatives has the pre knowledge of this amount of money left by
my client. Since his death we have been expecting his relatives to come over
and claim his money. Unfortunately, neither the family nor the relation has
appeared to put up claim on this money through my chambers .and i as his
attorney cannot lay any claim without a next of kin.
So i am seeking your support to apply as the next of kin to my deseased
client and have this fund transfered to your account.Your assistance in this
regard is required as a foriegner because its only a foriegner that can
apply and succeed as the bonafide next of kin to my client. so that i will
back you up with all neccesary documents that will proove you the bonafide
beneficiary and next of kin to my client and have this money transfered to
your account and then we shear it amongst us on any agreed percentage.
The bank cannot release this money unless somebody applies as the next of
kin or relation to my late client. Now, some of the documents concerning
bank records and files of my late client is in my custody that is why am
contacting you for us to join efforts together and get this money from the
bank for our personal consumption.Standard Chartered Bank banking guidelines
indicates that if such money remained unclaimed for a period of four (5)
years, it would be transferred into HER MAJESTY treasury account, as
unclaimed fund.
upon your possitive responds to this mail, I will send you an application
form of required informations from you ,which you will fill and send to the
bank for claims and approval of you as the next of kin and bonafide
beneficiary of this amount of money.I assure you there is no risk attached
to this, every thing depends on both of us.
Regards.
Barr.Mike Wolfgang
