Subject: Complement of the Season
Good day,My name is Bernard Molina from Madrid Spain, I am contacting you because of a business proposal concerning a huge sum of money from a deceased Mr. Andreas Schranner. He deposited in Standard Bank Madrid Branch, Spain whereI work here in Spain. Actually, I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction. I discovered this abandoned deposit in our Bank deposited by late Mr. Andreas Schranner, who was one of our foreign customers. He died alongside with his entire family as a result of an Air France Corncorde Aircrash in 1996. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm Actually he deposited this funds amounting to US$22,000,000.00 (Twenty Two million United States Dollars), for safe keeping in our Bank here in Madrid, and records shows that the funds was actually for his Family to be inherited when he dies. But since his death none of his relations or next-of-kin has come forward to laysafe keeping in our Bank. Due to none of his relations or
next-of-kin has come forward to lay claims for this property as the heir since his death, and this is basically the reason whyI am contacting you. And our Bank cannot release the property unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our Operation-Guidelines. Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out by me for the funds to be released in your favour as the next of kin. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with the following; Full name and address Direct Telephone and fax numbers Occupation and position Nationality Date of birth Marital status Gender/sex These requirements will enable me file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favour before you can personally apply and appear for the claim. I shall be compensating you
with 30% of the total money while 10% will be for any expenses required and the rest will be mine on final conclusion of this project.Please also note that your share stays while the rest shall be for my investment purposes. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you. I await your urgent mail.Best Regards, Bernard Molina.
