From: "Richard McCallum" <r.mcallum@yahoo.co.uk>
Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2006 01:17:46 -0700
Subject: From: Auditor. Richard McCallum
Good Day
I am Auditor Richard McCallum, Owner and Chief Executive of Richard Abbey
and Co. here in Nigeria. I have an urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you. A property Developer and Director of the Public Bureau
Enterprises BPE for Nigeria made a numbered time Deposit for twelve calendar
months, valued at US$27,000,000.00 (Twenty seven Million Dollars) in a bank
here in Nigeria.
Being an accredited auditor, I was hired to audit the account of the BPE for
the Federal Government of Nigeria early this year In carrying out this noble
assignment, I discovered that some the funds totaling US$27,000,000 did not
reflect on the official paper of the credit balance of the Federal
Government of Nigeria on property privatization, this being part of the
amount that should have reflected on the Balance Credit sheet during the
privatization exercise of the down stream sector of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation NNPC.
Upon Investigation, I discovered that Late Mr. ANDREAS SCHRANNER, the then
Director of the BPE for Nigeria was transferring the excess revenues
received from bidders to a private account of his own for his own personal
use. On further investigation I discovered that Late Mr. ANDREAS SCHRANNER a
German Citizen, died in a plane crash along with his entire family in July
2000.Please visit the link below:

From the paper works in the bank which I was able to get due to my position
as a government accredited auditor, His wife and children where nominated as
his next of kin in the event of death, unfortunately, they all perished in
that air crash. The WILL though empowers his brother Mr. JORG SCHRANNER and
other siblings to take over the entire estate if the former are not in the
positions to assume their roles for any reason. Unfortunately the later
benefactors are oblivious of the paper work with the bank. These funds have
thus been lying in the suspense account of the bank since his demise
unclaimed.
It is my wish to transfer these funds to an oversea account through your
help or the help of your appointee for business investment and later return
the original funds back to the bank after profit, but that depends if we can
reach an agreeable compromise. With my position and the help of an attorney,
you will assume the role of a Trustee to these funds because there is a
column in the WILL that allows a trustee to take over the estate if none of
the mentioned benefactors can assume their various roles.
I shall brief you more once I hear from you. We stand to benefit immensely
from this transaction if you will give me the necessary support I need. Do
send me your personal contact information if only you are interested;
otherwise delete this email from your system and do not redistribute, copy
or forward to a third person without my consent.
Conclusively, be advised that this business will be handled most legally for
a hitch free transfer of the funds to any account you can provide outside
Africa. I await your reply in my private alternate email address.
Regards,
Auditor Richard McCallum
