Sir,
Compliments of the day!
I got your contact on my private search for a reliable and trusted
person to handle a transaction of this nature. I know that the contents of
this mail might sound so strange, but I want to assure you that every
word of it is true.
I am Kan Williams a Financial Consultant to a deceased Immigrant Mr
Andreas Schranner,property magnate who was based in the U.K., who happens
to be my client. On the month of July 2000, my client, his wife Maria,
their daughter Andrea Eich, her husband Christian, and their children
Katharina and Maximilian all died in the Air France concord plane crash
bound for New York
in their plan for a world cruise,

Since then I have been managing his properties here in the U.K. and
some others which he put out for sale. The properties which have long been
put out on sale have now been paid for and now the money paid has long
been deposited into his local bank account here. I have contacted you
to assist in repatriating the money and estate left behind by my client
before they get seized or
declared unserviceable by his bank.
Particularly, the bank has issued me with a notice to provide any of
his beneficiary or have the account confisticated within a short period
of time. my late client has an account valued at 25.3 Million United
States Dollars Only. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of my
clients relatives for some time now and with no one coming forward
since my client passed on and with the bank now giving me a deadline, I now
seek your consent to present you as the beneficiary to my deceased
client, so that the proceeds of his account valued at 25.3 Million
UnitedStates Dollars Only can be paid to you. This I intend we share amongst
ourselves in the ratio of 50% to me and 40% for you while the balance 10%
we shall use for settling any miscellaneous expenses that might arise.
I have all the necessary information that can be used to back up any
Claim that we may make and I can assure you that you shall be paid this
amount as the beneficiary of the funds of my late client. All I require
is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under alegitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law. Trust me as his personal
consultant that this is a risk-free transaction. Please get in touch with me
via my confidential email: and send me the following information:
1)Your full names and address as you want them used in the payment
documents
2)Telephone and fax numbers .
Upon receipt of this information,we shall discuss further about this
transaction.
Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation.
Best regards,
Mr. Kan Williams
