hello,
Pardon the abruptness of this letter; it is due to its exigency. Mr. Jaime Garcia Dumas, the Accounts Director of Credit bank of Spain. I am contacting you towards realization of a business engagement that will be of mutual benefit to both you and I. In our department, We discovered an abandoned sum of €3,900,000.00 (Three Million, nine hundred thousand euros) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers; Mr. Andreas Schranner, a German property magnate who died on the plane crash of Air France flight (AF4590) which crashed 31 July, 2000, 13:22 GMT including his wife Maria, their daughter Andrea Eich, her husband Christian, and their children Katharina, and Maximilian. You can consult more about the crash on this site:

Before his death, he was a major contractor to late Don. Jesus Gil, President of Atletico Madrid football club and Acalde of Marbella and made a number of deposit in our bank which amount to €3,900,000.00. Since his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims to this money as the heir. We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines hence we have contacted you to act as the next of kin to claim this money which is in pursuance to securing this money for our mutual benefit rather than forfeiting it to the government.
we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of deceased beneficiaries who could take ownership of the fund left behind. It is based on this probate order that my colleague and I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin or investor to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out by us. Please acknowledge receipt
of this message in acceptance of our mutual business proposal by furnishing us with the following;
1. Your company name 2. Full name and address 3. Direct Telephone and fax numbers and a brief profile (Brief business biography).
These requirements will enable us open up discussions with you before we can file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favor. You would be entitled to (40%) of the funds and 5% for any expenses while 55% shall be for us the initiators working at the bank (2 of us). If this proposal is acceptable by you, do contact me at the earliest time possible. We pray that you do not take undue advantage of the trust we shall repose in you to expose the transaction even if you are not interested.
Mr. Jaime Garcia Dumas
