Dear Friend,
My names is Barrister Brook Anne Moore (Esq) an attorney here in

SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany contacted me that I should perpare his
will, which I did thereafter. He was one of the richest man, and was

After his death, as his attorney,I informed all the
beneficiaries of his will to come forward so that I can read the
will to them, out of the nine beneficiaries of his will only eight
came up for the claims, for over two years i have being in search for
the ninth beneficiary which I could not locate till just in December
last year that I got to know that he also died in the same jet.
This ninth beneficiary was WILLED US$8.5M that was
deposited in a security company and the money is lying down in a
security company unclaimed,but I never told the company that the
beneficiary of the fund is dead.
Now, what I want from you is to allow me front you as this
ninth beneficiary to enable us make claims to this funds. Once you
are ready I will go to the british court here in london to have the
will amended in your favor as the ninth beneficiary and A
POWER OF ATTORNEY will be issued to you from the court, then I will
contact the security company that you are the ninth beneficiary of
the fund kept with them.I will assist to see that this fund is moved
into your account.
On accomplishment of this deal you will be entitled to 30%
of the total sum.If this proposal is accepted by you, kindly reach me
immediately via my private e-mail: annemoore200000@libero.it
I wait your urgent reply
