Subject: FAVOURABLE BUSINESS PROPOSALS.
Dear Amarjit Singh,
I am Barrister George Howard, a lawyer to Mr. Andreas Schranner. I am contacting you concerning my client (now deceased) and the investment he placed in a bank (which i will disclose to you at a later date) Five years ago. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.
I contacted you independently on my own and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you. In 1999, Mr. Andreas Schranner engaged in business discussions with a bank's private banking division which later led to a deposition of US$15,700,000 (Fifteen Million Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), which he wished to have the bank turn over (invest) on his behalf. The favoured route in the bank's advice
to him (Andreas Schranner) as a customer was to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments. Based on the bank's advice, they (the bankers) spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins In mid June 2000, he (my client) asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in the United States of America.
In July of that same year, tragedy struck when a Concorde AF4590 Plane crashed killing my client with the remaining 108 passengers. For more Information see BBC News
on--http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm.
This was five years ago and no claim has been made by any heir and failing to receive viable claims the bank will most probably claim the deposit and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the Private Banking division. What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something. I alone have the relevant details to make you a Business Partner to the deceased.This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track this man’s family; they have investigated for months and have found no family left for claimant. The investigation has almost come to an end. My proposal (should you accept); I am prepared to place you in a position where the funds can be your inheritance as his business partner which gives you
legal rights over the funds in question.
We can fine-tune this based on our interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive.If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career
because you do not approve of my proposal.
I await your response.
george howard(Esq).
