Subject: MATTER OF URGENT RESPONSE
Attention Dear,
Good Day,i am writting this mail without, direct
acquintance with you,but it is with deep sense of
humility,trust and need for assisitance which i request
from you.
Having obtained your contacts from the internet that you have been doing all what is neccessary to deserve trust,coupled with my deep interest to invest in your country,I have decided to contact and solicit your mutual assistance in this regard. May i briefly introduce myself ;I Arthur Barnes,Esq a Solicitor and Investment Consultant based in London,United Kingdom.
I was attending a business luncheon in Berlin,Germany and got introduced to a renowned German businessman and property Mogul,Mr Andreas Schranner(of the blessed memory).After a protracted discussion and Introductions,he was later to engage my services as an Investment Consultant hence my primary assignment was to spearhead his investment forays in the United Kingdom.
After about Three Months I invited him to London and under my professional guidance and based on my advice he made a numbered fixed deposit of 14,500,000,00 million Pounds Sterling at a Financial Institution.Being for 12
months,upon maturity i made efforts to contact my client
,but could not reach him or any member of his family.
I was then forced to travel to Germany,where i got the tragic news that on July 25 2000, my Client Mr Andreas Schranner,his wife Maria,thier Daughter Eich and Husband Christian with their two children perished in the ill fated AIR FRANCE Concorde New York bound,flight.Please click here

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 relation is one that has consumed time and resources. The insitution is asking me to either present a Next of Kin to late Andreas Schranner or forfiet the depsosit.
My proposal is to package and present you as Next of Kin to late Andreas Schranner and process the fixed deposit and transfer custody to you for our mutual benefit.,the money would revert to the ownership of the Government if no body applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds.
Consiquently,I shall present you as a Foreign Partner to stand as the Next of Kin to late Andreas Schranner,without any breach of the law.
Upon acceptance of this proposal,I shall send the copy of the Agreement and Certificate of Deposit of the Fund with the Bank,as well as legal informations on how this deal would be transacted,for your perusal.The proceeds(Principal Sum And Interests) will be Shared in the ratio of 50% for me,30% for you,15% for Charity and 5% for logistics that would facilitate the transaction.
I await your urgent response so that together we can
conclude.
God bless you.
Arthur Barnes,Esq.
