Subject: PLEASE RESPOND PROMPTLY
Dear sir,
The inspiration to contact you is simply divine providence, I am making this proposition because I have to seek the partnership of a resource person to help me realise this project.
I am Edward Mensa, esq. a solicitor and investment consultant based in Cotonou - Benin Republic.
I was attending a business luncheon in Berlin, Germany and I got introduced to the renowned German business man and property mogul, Mr Andreas Schranner (of the blessed memory).
He engaged my services as attorney and investment consultant and my primary assignment was to spearhead his investment forays in the Africa. Three months later I invited him to Cotonou and under my professional guidance and based on my advice he made a fixed deposit of Ten million Two Hundred Thousand United State Dollars
in one of the leading financial institution here .This deposit was for thirty six calendar months (3years) and upon maturity I made effort to contact my client, I could not reach him or any member of his family. I was forced to travel to Germany and there
I got the tragic news that on July 25 2000, my client Mr. Andreas Schranner, his wife Maria, their daughter Eich and her husband Christian and their two children perished in the air France Concorde new York bound flight; please click here and find out
what happened to the family http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
I have made efforts to locate any member of his family since then with strong biological links to my late client without success. the search to find a close relation is one that has consumed time and resources. The institution is asking me to either present a next of kin to late Mr. Andreas Schranner or forfeit the deposit.
My proposal is to package and present you as next of kin to late Mr. Andreas Schranner so the financial institution will release the fixed deposit to you for our mutual benefit. My capacity as solicitor / investment consultant to my late client gives me the discretion to package and present the next of kin to my late client. I will give you 40% for your effort, 60% for me. It will amount to injustice if I do not make effort to secure this deposit and invest it as the late Schranner was a friend in addition to our business relationship. I will wait for your reaction and response so that we will together jumpstart this project and nurture it to reality. Send your reply to
this email addresess; edmensa_consultant@o2.pl , edmensa_consultant@yahoo.fr
I await your reaction.
