Hello Dear, I am Mr. George Moore an account officer to a German property magnant
Andreas Schranner, a deceased Immigrant. Property magnate, who was based in the U.K., Also referred to as my client. On the 25th of July 2000, my client, his wife and their children died in the Air France concord plane crash bound for New York in their plan for a world cruise, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm since then I have been managing his properties here in the U.K. and some of his properties, which he put out for sale. Which I monitored the payment as his account officer, has been bought and paid for. I tried locating any of his relatives over the years through the German Embassy, but all my effort proved
abortive. Now the money paid was deposited into his Local account here. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by his bank particularly, the bank has issued me a notice to provide any of his next of kin or have the account confiscated within a short time. My late client has an account valued at 15.5 million pounds. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for some time now, and with the bank giving me deadline, I now seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued at 15.5 million pounds can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money 50% to me and 40% for you and 10% for miscellaneous expenses that might arise.
I have all necessary information that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Trust me, as his account officer; this is a risk free business relationship.
Please get in touch with me by my personal email address. And send me
your full address, telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further about this transaction. Best
Regards, Mr. George Moore
