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.

Regards,
Dave Yorke.
