LETTER OF INTENT!
I am Barrister Louis Jacobs, a legal practitioner and the personal attorney to Late Mr. Andreas Schranner, a German property magnate who lost his life on the 21stof April 2000, along with his wife, Maria and their children and even grand children in a plane crash. The AF4590 crash include all 109 people on board and five who died on the ground when the plane crashed into the Hotelissimo. Refer to the website below for more details:

Since then I have made several inquires to locate any of my client's extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I have decided to contact you to act as the next of kin or beneficiary by assisting in repatriating the money in his account with Africa Development Bank Group.
The Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin within the next 14 official working days or the account declared unserviceable and confiscated. The amount in question is £4,500,000.00 (Four Million five hundred thousand Pounds Sterling only). Therefore, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the Late Mr. Andreas Schranner so that the £4,500,000.00 (Four Million five hundred thousand Pounds Sterling only) can be paid to you and then we (you and I) can share the money.
This business is simple. I will like you to provide immediately your full name and address so that I will prepare all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honesty and co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangements that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Remember to send to me also your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. A bank account in any part of the world which you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this Fund to you as the beneficiary or next of kin. The Funds will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 50% for me and 40% for you while 10% will be set aside for all accountable expenses and bank taxes that will be deductible from the principle.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via email: jacobs@olloo.mn .upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you to understand the transaction more while the transaction must be handle with utmost confidentiality until we move the funds into your facility.
Best regards,
Louis Jacobs.Esq.
