Attention.
Greetings to you and your family.I will not fail to state that i am sorry
for encroaching in your privacy.
I am Mr Karl Brader and i work with AN Investment Banking(RBA zentral
bank,Bern,Switzerland.I am contacting you independently as no one is
informed of this communication.On July 6, 2004, a client of ours, a
consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation though
now deceased, had a financial portfolio with accrued profit and interest
standing at 21Million United States Dollars,which he requested be
liquidated from his accounts and have it deposited with our affiliate
investment and security firm,RBA FINANZ for numbered fixed deposit for 6
(six) calendar months for a good investment interest rate(call deposit) as
advised by me at that time. I undertook all the processes and ensured I
followed his precise Instructions to the letter and had the funds
deposited at RBA FINANZ.Upon maturity several notice was sent to him and
no response came from him.
Another notification was sent last year and still no response came from
him.The Bank officially sent a two-man delegate to his contract
employers,Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation and to his forwarding
address in Malaysia where he resides only to find out threturn receipt
at the business mogul and his family perished in the Tsunami
disaster.After further investigations, it was also discovered that the
decease did not declare any next of kin in his official
papers,including the paper work of his bank deposit. So,Twenty One
Million United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will
ever come forward to claim it.According to the laws of my country,
since the contract period has long expired, after rolling over, the
funds will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies
to claim the funds.Please note that,I alone have the deposit details
and I am prepared to share the deposit with you in halves plus interest
accrued till date.That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of
kin and have RBA FINANZ Release the deposit to you and we share the
proceeds 50/50.I need your partnership as a foreigner to ask the funds
be released to you. I assure you that with all legal paperwork secured
in your favor and drawn up in my bank, the deposit should be released
to you within a few days via direct transfer to your provided account.I
now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the
deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out by me for
the deposit to be released in your favor as the beneficiary next of
kin.Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our
mutual business endeavor and partnership.I have intentionally left out
the details, I shall however leave out the finer details of this
transaction till I receive an affirmation of your desire to
participate..
Regards,
Karl Brader
