Subject: NEXT OF KIN
Good Day,
Although, I do not know you in person, I have received
your contact via
personal search on the internet, Let me start by
introducing myself. I
am Mr. Zhang Wu a banker in the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,
Hong Kong.
I have a profitable transaction for you.
I was attending a business luncheon in September 1999
in china and I
got introduced to Mr. Andreas Schranner, a renowned
German real
Estate/property magnate. He later employed my services
as a banker and investment
Consultant, Three months later he invited me and told
me of his
desire to open a fixed deposit account, he could fail
back to on
retirement, under my professional guidance and based
on my advice he
made a fixed deposit of USD25,000,000(twenty five
million United States
Dollars) in one of our branches.
This deposit was for 5 years and upon maturity I made
effort to contact
my client, l could not reach him. I was forced to
travel to Germany
and there I got the tragic news that, my client Mr.
Andreas Schranner,
his wife Maria, their daughter Andrea Eich,
his son in law Christian, and their children
Maximilian and Katharina,
all perished in the Monday, 31 July, 2000 plane crash
in western German
city of Moenchengladbach.
Please Click here and find out what happened to the
Mr. Andreas Schranner :

After further investigation, l also discovered that
Mr. Andreas Schranner
did not declare any next of kin
in his official papers including the paper work of his
bank deposit.
And l remember he also confided in me the last time
he was at my office that no one except me knew of his
deposit in my
bank. So, Twenty five million United State dollars is
still lying
in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim
it. What bothers
me most? Is that according to the laws
of my country at the expiration of a numbers of years
the funds will
revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if
nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this
backdrop, my suggestion
to you is that I will like you
as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr.
Andreas Schranner so
that you will be able to receive his
funds.
Should you be interested please send me your full
names and current
residential address and I will
prefers you to reach me on the email address below
(zhang_wu2006@yahoo.com.cn) and finally after that I
shall provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated.
Mr. Zhang Wu
