Dear Friend,
I know this would come as a surprise to you and we are communicating on a neutral term in which both parties (You and I) don't know each other but this is a financial and diplomatic proposal I believe can be benefiting for both parties.
I am contacting you the belief that you will help me savage this situation.
I am Mr Robbin Battison the chief attorney of the BATTISON PARTNERS CONSULTS a commercial and private law firm based in UK. I have a situation which i have a situation at hand now which i have to handle diplomatically so i can better the lots of the needy who will benefit from our transaction.
The credit control department of ABN AMRO Netherlands of my late client MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany, has contacted me issuing an ultimatum in connection of my client's 3.5m USD(three million and 500 thousand USD) which he deposited in the above named bank. The funds have been due for collection since feb. 2007.
My late client died in a fatal crash in 2000 see link below for further details.
<<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm>>
He died along side all his family leaving no direct beneficiary to his funds. I ensured that some of his funds were released to his extended family who never compensated for my efforts , they lavished and squandered my late clients hard earned money. Presently am the only person aware of the above named sum in the fixed deposit account. I do not want to inform his family considering the way they handled the other funds which i released to them.
I have to collect the funds from the bank in less than a month from now failing to do that it will be remitted to the government account who will not even use it for any meaningful project thus it will be shared among the officials since there is no probe on such expenditures. i want to avert all this and use it for projects, investments and charity which my client wished and secured the funds for. I will create employment and it will be more meaningfully invested. Am fully aware of your country's fast growing economy. I will present you as the sole beneficiary to the funds. I will ensure that the bank releases the funds to you. I solicit for your cooperation on this issue and all I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. I
agree that 25% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of your assistance ,5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the transaction, another 15% to help the less privilege and to assist the charity organizations in Asia and Africa while the rest 55% will be set aside for investments in your country. Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated. You have to contact me indicating your complete information, complete name, postal address, occupation, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application you will send to the bank to seek the release of the funds to you. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fear as all required arrangements have been made. You should contact me as soon as you receive this mail through my personal email address robbin_battisonpartners@yahoo.co.uk. Or you can send your number for me to call you. Trusting to hear from you immediately for more detailed discussion.
