Dear Friend,
First,I must solicit your confidence in this Transaction,this is by
virture of its nature as being CONFIDENTIAL and TOP SECRET. Though I
know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one
apprehensive but I am assuring that all will be well at the end of the
day,I am Mr.Olu Ade,a senior accountant with one of the big
financial firm here in Lagos Nigeria. On Monday 31 July, 2000, 13:22
GMT 14:22 UK, my client A German property magnate (Andreas Schranner)
Aged 64, his wife Maria, 62, their daughter Andrea Eich, 38, her
husband Christian, 57, and their children Katharina, eight, and
Maximilian, 10, were all victims of the AF4590 Plane crash which
occured On Monday 31 July, 2000, 13:22 GMT 14:22 UK.
PLEASE FIND MORE DETAILS IN THE WEBSITE BELOW:

Unfortunately, my client and his entire family lost their lives in
that disaster that needed not to have happened.Since then I have made
several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this
has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to track any trust and honest person that can
stand as the next of kin and have his remaining transfered to him/her
After which we can then discuss on the sharing ratio in favour of the
both of us ,Before his death and uptil date i was his account officer
here in Nigeria Were he owned chains of property investment firms.
My purpose of contacting you is to assist in repatriating the fund
left behind by my client prior to his death before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by my bank,where this huge
deposit were lodged in, where the deceased had an account valued at
about US$10.4 million.The company had issued me a notice to provide
the next of kin,As the account officer or have the account confiscated
within the next 25 official working days. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over one year,now I seek
your consent as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds
of this account valued at US$10.4 million can be paid to you.
All documents to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked
out. This proposal is 100% risk-free and also a legal one. We have
agreed that the fund be shared thus,after it must have been
transferred into your account.
Best regards,
Mr. Olu Ade
