Dear Sir/Madam,
I write to introduce this urgent/important business opportunity to you
irrespective of the fact that we have not seen or known each other before
believing that it will be of immense benefit to both of us. Let me formally
introduce myself. I am MR. ABRAHAM PRIYE, the Chief Auditor of Standard
Chartered Bank England United Kingdom, I got your contact through the UK
Chamber of Commerce in my earnest search for a reliable individual who can
assist me to make this transaction a reality but I did not disclose the
nature of the business to them because its my believe in God that you will
never let me down. There is an outstanding sum of *£8,500.000.00 (Eight
Million Five Hundred Thousand Great Britain Pound Sterling) in the
equivalent of US$17,000.000.00 (Seventeen Million United States
Dollars) *belonging
to a German property magnate ANDREAS SCHRANNER who perished in an air crash
with his entire family on Monday, 31 July, 2000, 13:22 GMT 14:22 UK, 2000 in
a Concorde air line with flight N° AF4590 killing all 109 people on board.
For more details, please take your time and log on to this website: *
www.news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm*
This fund was deposited since 1999 and since then nobody has operated on
this account. After going through some old files in his record, I discovered
that the owner of this dormant account Mr. Andrea Schranner did not leave
any next of kin because his entire family member perished in that crash and
that particular account has been dormant. If I do not remit this fund out
urgently, it would be forfeited for nothing. I am contacting you because of
the need to involve a foreigner with a foreign account and foreign
beneficiary as the money itself is in Great Britain Pound Sterling; I need
your full co-operation to make this work out fine because the
management of Standard
Chartered Bank is ready to approve this payment to a foreigner, who has the
correct information of this account, which I will provide to you.
Should this interest you, kindly furnish me with your contact details
including your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication.
Meanwhile, I want you to give me an extra assurance that this money will be
intact and safe pending my physical arrival in your country for final
sharing. I will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive
this money leaving no trace to any place. I will also use my position and
influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of the money to your
account with appropriate clearance and approvals from the Bank of England. I
have resolved to compensate you by briefing a brokerage commission of *25% -
£2,125 000.00 (Two Million One Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand Great
Britain Pound Sterling)* net per-transfer to you for expenses you may incur,
*5% -£425 000.00 (Four Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand Great Britain Pound
Sterling)* set aside for general expenses, while *70% - £5,950 000.00 (Five
Million, Nine Hundred and Fifty Thousand Great Britain Pound Sterling)* will
be for me and my colleague. I guarantee you that all expenses during the
transfer are subject to refund. Most importantly, I must emphasize that this
business requires the utmost confidentiality and trustworthiness. We need to
make an agreement that will bind us together and the same will protect
individual interest in the near future.
I will apply for an annual leave to get visa for a trip to your country once
I confirm your readiness for this operation. In recognition to your personal
executive power and investment opportunities that are bond in your country;
be advised that I have it in mind to establish a business relationship in
your country with you in the nearest future, if you will be able to help me.
In order to expedite action, let me receive your readiness and reply through
these phone numbers: *Phone: +44 703 192 1754, +44 703 1921881, +44 703 192

kind response through the above numbers.

*MR. ABRAHAM PRIYE*
