Subject: INFORMATION
FROM THE DESK OF DR. YAH MAN WAH
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
ABN AMRO BANK OF HONG KONG (ABNA.B.HK)
KOWLOON-HONG KONG.
TEL:+8821646651432 or (852)800 908 717.
Hello,
I am the manager of Auditing and Accounting department of ABN AMRO BANK OF HONG KONG(ABNA.B.HK) here in Kowloon-Hong Kong. In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$ 17.5M dollar(SEVENTEEN MILION ,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers (Mr.Andrean schranner of Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire family and son inlaw and family in July 2000 in a plane crash. For more information about the crash visit this
site:(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm)
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it
unless somebody applies as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt that
all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon
this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and
release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased
for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it
and we don't want this money to go into the bank's treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after fours years, the money will be
transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is
occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Hong Kong citizen cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foreign account by you, and 70% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentage indicated. Therefore, to enable bank as a
relation or next of kin of the deceased with a text of application form
that I will send to you when I hear from you, hence I will want you to send
to me your private telephone and fax numbers for easy
and effective communication and location wherein the money will be
remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application form . Note that this transaction is hitch-free as
all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should
contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear
from you immediately.
contact me thought my private e-mail:
Yours Faithfully,
DR. YAH MAN WAH
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
ABN AMRO BANK OF HONG KONG (ABNA.B.HK)
