Subject: URGENT REQUEST
From Cliff Adams154 Commissioner StreetJohannesburg, RSA Hello my Friend, The inspiration to contact you is simply divine providence. I am making this proposition because I have to seek the partnership of a resource person to help me realize this project. I am Barrister Cliff Adams, a solicitor and investment consultant based in South Africa. As I was attending a business luncheon in Berlin, Germany, I got introduced to a renowned German businessman and property mogul, Mr. Andreas Schranner (of the blessed memory). He engaged my services as attorney and investment consultant and my primary assignment was to spearhead his investment forays in the South Africa. Three months later I invited him to South Africa and under my professional guidance and based on my advice he made a fixed deposit of ₤6,800,000 GBP[SIX MILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND BRITISH POUNDS STERLING] in one of the financial institutions here. This deposit was for 2 years and upon maturity I made effort to contact my client, I could not reach him or any member of his family. I was forced to travel to Germany and there I got the tragic news that on July 25 2006, my client Mr. Andreas schranner, his wife Maria, their daughter Rachael perished in the air France Concorde new York bound flight. Please Click here and find out what happened to the family http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm Since then, I have made efforts to locate any member of his family with strong biological links to my late client without success. The search to find a close relative is one that has consumed time and resources and yet there is no trace of anyone. The institution is asking me to either present a next of kin to late Mr. Andreas Schranner or forfeit the deposit. Since I have strong contact with the financial institution here, my proposal is to do the necessary documentation and present you as the next of kin to late Mr. Andreas Schranner and in this way the fixed deposit can be transferred to your bank account for our mutual benefit. My capacity as solicitor/investment consultant to my late client gives me the discretion to package and transfer the deposit to you and once we complete this deal, I will give you 40% for your effort, 60% for me. I consider this a better approach than to allow such fund to be frozen in a bank here. I will wait for your reaction and response and then together we can jumpstart this project and nurture it to reality without delay. You can call me in my direct number +27-73-028 6645 and I will tell you what to do or you can get in touch with me through my email address. For more familiarity, you are advised to send me your full information as below:1.YOUR FULL NAME 2.YOUR MOBILE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS. 3.YOUR MAILING ADDRESS. 4.YOUR AGE AND OCCUPATION. 5. YOUR COMPANY NAME (IF YOU HAVE AN EXISTING COMPANY). I await your urgent response. Barrister Cliff Adams
