ASB BANK London
Senator House

London EC4V 4HA
England
I am susan dan, head of group risk, ASB Bank London, England.
On Monday, 31 July, 2000, one Andreas Schranner, a German National, a
property magnate, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at
£10.000 ,550,000.00 (Ten Million,Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand Pounds) for
twelve calender months in my Bank Branch.
Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered from his company that Mr. Andreas Schranner was aboard the
AF4590 plane, which crashed Monday, 31 July, 2000 into the Hotelissimo.
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm). After further
investigation, it was discovered that he died without making a WILL and all
attempts to trace his next of kin proved fruitless.
On further investigation, it was discovered that Late Mr. Andreas
Schranner did not declare any next of kin or relatives in all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work here in our Bank. The
total sum, £10,550,000.00 is still in my bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will
ever come forward to claim it.
In accordance with the British banking laws and constitution, at the
expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the British
Government treasury if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as
the next of kin to the late Mr. Andreas Schranner.
Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you the ASB Bank
"Next of Kin Payment Application Form" as well as detailed information on
how this deal would be carried out.
We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the drafting of the
LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Mr. Andreas Schranner and to obtain all
other relevant papers in your name for the necessary documentation for
payment approval in my bank headquarters in your favour.
The money will be shared in the ratio:
Sixty percent for me, thirty five percent for you and five percent for
any arising contigencies during the course of this transaction.I
guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law as I will use my position as the
Bank's head of group risk to secure approvals and guarantee the
successful execution of this transaction.
Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality is required. If
this interests you, reply via my private email susan_dan0006@yahoo.com and
include your private telephone/fax number.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks.
Best regards,
susan dan
