Good Day,
Although, I do not know you in person, I have received your contact via personal search on the internet, Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Peter Mokwena a banker in the ABSA Bank Ltd, South Africa. I have a profitable transaction for you. I was attending a business luncheon in September 1999 in china and I got 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 USD15,500,000(Fifteen million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in one of our branches.
This deposit was for 5 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.
Please Click here and find out what happened to the Mr. Andreas Schranner : 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, Fifteen 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 South African 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 full names and current residential address and I will prefer you to reach me on the email address below or my Direct Telephone and Fax Numbers ( p_mokwena@unionplus.net) Direct Tel:+27-767-511-712: Direct Fax: + 27-11-507-5901: and finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this Transaction.
Please also note that i am willing to give you 20% of the total money for your assistance
Your earliest response to this proposal will be appreciated.
Be well and God Bless
Best Regards,
- Mr. Peters Mokwena
