Attn: Friend
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your
personal ethics, this note might seem strange or probably
untrue considering the amount of junk mails we receive
daily, but i believe this is still the most genuine way of
contacting a true character.
I will introduce myself as the Head of Foreign Operations
Department in the accounts management section this
well-known bank here in CANADA. I am seeking your
cooperation to present you to my bank as the Next of kin to
LATE ANDREA SCHRANNER. A Germany property Magnate Andreas
Schranner, 64, his wife Maria, 62,their daughter Andrea
Eich, 38, her husband Christian, 57,and their children
Katharina, eight, and Maximilian, 10, all perished in the
jet.

PROPOSITION:
One of late Andrea Schranner's accounts with holding balance
of 15,000,000(Fifteen Million United States Dollars) has
been dormant and has not been operated for the past 5 years
and
the DEPOSIT will UNCLAIMED DEPOSIT due to dormancy and
therefore forfeited if nobody comes forward to lay claim to
the deposit before the end of this financial quarter, as is
the practice and also indicated in the banking
guidelines here in Canada.
>From my investigations and confirmation, the owner of this
account a foreigner by name Late Andrea Schranner's died on
MONDAY, 31 JULY,2000 in a plane crash with his family.
After going through the deceased records and files, I
discovered that:
(1) No one has operated this account since 2000;
(2) He died without a heir; hence the money has been
floating.
(3) No other person knows about this account and there was
no known beneficiary.
And if we do not remit this money urgently, it would be
confiscated and forfeited for nothing. I have secretly
discussed this matter with account officer and we have
agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with. We
thus propose to do business with you, standing in as the
next of kin of these funds from the deceased and funds
released to you after due processes have been
followed.
This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the
fund is a legitimate and does not originate from drug, money
laundering, terrorism or any other illegal act. On your
interest, let me hear from you.
On your interest, let me have your private/direct contact
numbers including fax and a copy of your International
Passport or driver's license for easy communication,
identification and trust. I must be reached only on my
private contact details
for confidential reasons, I also have interest to invest
into properties through you assistance with part of my own
share.
Regards,
Mrs. Katelin S.Jones.
