Dear Friend
Greetings/Compliments of the day,
On 25th July 2000, Germany lost 96 passengers that were flying to New York
to join a Caribbean cruise organized by Deilmann on a Concorde Flight
AF4590.Visit the below link for further detail on the disaster which
"shattered and stunned" Germany.

In view of the above, I wish to introduce myself. I'm Dave Yorke a chartered
accountant by profession. I have worked as a Financial Accountant at the
Independent Newspapers, with previous work experience as an Internal Auditor
at the University of Cambridge and and Business Advisor at the Small
Business Development Firm .I completed my articles with KPMG.
I know the acknowledgement of this mail sounds intriguing considering the
fact that there wasn't earlier information regarding my mail. Being an
auditor, In December 2002 during an audit session with a client bank here in
Venezuela I discovered an account opened in the Bank in 1998 by Christian
Eich, I went through the files of this foreign customer which gave me a
clear picture that his account has been termed dormant according to the
banking laws and ethics here in Venezuela. The funds in his account cannot
exceed six years of dormancy or it would be recalled back to the Government
Treasury. I studied his file and understood clearly that he did not declare
his next of kin in his deposit application form which indicates that he had
no will attached to his account.
This prompted me to send a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply. I further investigated with keen interest to find out that
Christian Eich (57) perished with his families (Wife Andrea 38, Son
Maxmilian, 10 and Daughter Katharina, 8.) on board Concorde Plane AF4590.
It's really a tragic scene. Having known this, the management now want to
use this opportunity to channel the funds for their own personal use. My
consolidated investigations showed that they intend to use the funds for the
purchase of war arms if no one comes for claims at the end of the first
quarter 2006. My friend rather than support war, terrorism etc, Have a look
at the Tsunami and Hurricane disaster, they need our assistance to make a
new life.
The funds in question are huge and wish not to disclose it at the moment.
Furthermore, since the bank is still waiting for anyone with documents to
substantiate the claims, I humbly request your co-operation and
participation to claim this fund out of my country. This fund can only be
approved to a foreigner having in mind that it belongs to a foreigner. I
have worked on all modalities with the assistance of my close confident
attorney for years now to make this a success and it all proved positive. In
essence, I have every detail on ground to establish you as the authentic
beneficiary to the estate. I can procure and notarize all legal back-up
documentation needed for us to get this fund out of my country.
Finally, all I need from you is your trust, co-operation and assistance.
When you receive this letter, showing your dedication and honesty to assist,
I will like you to contact me immediately so that we would take the
necessary steps immediately and I would provide you with a detailed mail of
the business venture. I look forward to your prompt response. I advise that
you kindly reply this mail to my most confidential email account
dyorke@accountant.com
Regards,
Dave Yorke.
