Mr Jim Bulley
Accounting Officer
Alliance & Leicester Bank Plc.
30 ST VINCENT PLACE
London NW1 2HL
For your kind attention,
My name is Mr Jim Bulley, the Account officer with Alliance & Leicester Bank Plc.London United Kingdom. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On January 1, 2000, a Germany Merchant, Mr Andreas Schranner, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$7.500, 000.00 (Seven Million five hundred thousand Dollars only) with my bank.Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After some months, we
sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his business partner that Mr Andreas Schranner died along with his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash. for more information about the crash you can visit this site:
(<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm>)
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr Andreas Schranner did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
The said amount is still intact in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.No one will ever come forward to claim it. I am contacting you since you are a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr Andreas Schranner.
I would want you to provide to send to me as a matter of urgency your full names and address,phone and fax numbers so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put youin place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 75% for me and 20% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the transaction.
There is no risk at all as all the paperworks for this transaction will be done by the attorney and with my position as an accountant,guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.If you are interested, please reply immediately to my email box jimbuley@googlemail.com Upon your response, I shall then provide you with
more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. All further correspondence should be directed to my e-mail box jimbuley@googlemail.com
Thank you in anticipation of your urgent reply.
Best regards.
Jim Bulley
