Dear Partner,
I apologies for sending this mail to you but this is a matter of urgency
and I would like to clarify this matter with you my name is Mr. Geoffrey
Bell , Solicitor and financial Consultant to late Mr. Andreas Schranner a
property magnate and building contractor based here in the U.K.
On the 25th of July 2000, my client Andreas Schranner, 64, his wife Maria,
62, their daughter Andrea Eich, 38, her husband Christian, 57, and their
children Katharina, eight, and Maximilian, 10, died in the Air France
concord 990 plane crashes over Hotelissimo on July 25, 2000.They were
bound for New York in their plan for a world cruise. For more information
about this crash and people, visit this
Website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since then I have been managing his investments here in the U.K and on his
direction liquidated these investments into cash and deposited the
proceeds into his local account.
My client was a successful and an accomplished family man, who made enough
fortune before his untimely death. He left behind a large deposit in his
investment account in financial institution here upon his death the
financial institution contacted me as his financial consultant and
attorney to provide them with a next of kin or Foreign partner since the
person he provided for them died with him in the crash leaving a vacuum to
be filled.
I had made several inquiries on my own to locate his next of kin but all
has proved unsuccessful. I even contact his country's US embassy here. Two
weeks ago, the bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his
next of kin or his foreign business partner/associates based on the
Agreement he sign that the fund can only be relased or transferred to his
next or kin(His family) or any foreign partner for the payment of this
fund within 28 working days or forfeit the money to the bank as abandoned
by the owner with no trace of next of kin. The bankers had planned to
invoke the abandoned property decree of 1936 to confiscate the funds after
the expiration of the period given to me.
I tried to locate a next of kin on my own but had no head. Despairing at
the point of exhaustiveness, I contacted His consulate here in the UK and
fortunately, they forwarded some crew from where I get to contact you.
I am convinced that it was by the grace of God that made me to locate
you. Hence my mail to you It is my belief that you may be reliable to me
to present as my client foreign partner for the claim, I therefore,
decided to contact you with these facts before me because of the urgency
of the situation presently.
By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am
very much aware of my client financial standing. I have reasoned very
professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the
next of kin or foreign partner of my deceased client so that you can be
paid the funds left in his bank account.
I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin or foreign partner
to the Deceased since you are qualified so that the full proceed from his
Bank Account valued at $12.2 Million Dollars can be paid to you.
I am proposing a negotiated commission for my legal services. I have all
the required information and shall assemble all the necessary Legal
Documents that will be used to back up our claim all I require is your
honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. Trust me as his personal
consultant that this is a risk-free transaction. Please get back to me
immediately.
I will bring you into a more detailed picture of this transaction when I
hear from you.
You may contact me through my Fax: 44870 068 9826, 44 870 478 9110. All
