Subject: ''URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL''
Hang Seng Bank
China Hong Kong
I am Mr wan yonghong an investment Consultant.
Email: mrwan@younghong.beijing.am
Dear friend,
Although, I do not know you in person, I got your contact via personal
search on the internet, Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Wan
Yonghong a banker in HANG SENG BANK, Hong Kong . I have a concealed
business suggestion/transaction for you.I was attending a business
lunch in September 1999 in china and I was introduced to Mr. Andreas
Schranner, a renowned German Real Estate/Property magnate.
He later employed my services as a banker and investment Consultant, Three
months later he invited me and told me of his desire to open a fixed
deposit account, he could fall back to on retirement, under my
professional guidance and based on my advice he made a fixed deposit of
USD25, 500,000 (Twenty Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) in one of our branches.
This deposit was for 7 years and upon maturity I made effort to contact my
client, l could not reach him. I was forced to travel to Germany and there
I got the tragic news that, my client Mr. Andreas Schranner, his wife
Maria, their daughter Andrea Eich, his son in law Christian, and their
children Maximilian and Katharina, all perished in the Monday, 31 July,
2000 plane crash in western German city of Moenchengladbach .

:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
After further investigation, l also discovered that Mr. Andreas Schranner
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper
work of his bank deposit. And l remember he also confided in me the last
time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my
bank. So, Twenty Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.
What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the
expiration of a numbers of years the funds will revert to the ownership of
the Hong Kong Government as unclaimed funds if nobody applies to claim the
funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Andreas Schranner so that you
will be able to receive his funds. Should you be interested please send me
your following information below via my private email account
(mrwan@younghong.beijing.am).
Full Names
Direct Telephone/ Fax Numbers
Residential Address
Job Description
Then I shall provide you with more details of this transaction. Once the
funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share
in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred
during the course of this operation
Your earliest response to this proposal will highly be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Mr. Wan Yonghong
