MR EDWARD YAU.
SHANGHAI COMMERCIAL BANK LIMITED (UK BRANCH)

LONDON UNITED KINGDOM
DEAR FRIEND,
I know you may be surprise to recieve this e-mail ; I got your contact
address from the internet while I was searching for my friend that has
similar name with you.
I am Mr Edward Yau of SHANGHAI COMMERCIAL BANK LIMITED (London
Branch)
There is a business I would want you to champion for me, in my department I
discovered an abandoned sum of ($31.500.000 U.S) thirty one million five
hundred thousands US dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customer who died along with his entire family on 25TH JULY, 2000
CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [Flight AF4590] with the whole passenger’s aboard. The
name of the deceased man was
(MR.ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich Germany)
N.B. In other for you to believe me honestly, visit the web site to enable
you know whether we can work together, below is the website.

You have to understand that I come crossed this huge amount of money when I
was arranging the departmental customers file to submit to the bank
management for the annual audit of the year.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that all
his supposed next of kin's or relation died alongside with him at the plane
crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation
to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it and I don’t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as
unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after some years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Germany citizen cannot
stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant (A Banker), we are not allowed to operate any
foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the
time of transfer because I work in the same bank. This is the actual reason
why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the
next of kin to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will
need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after
due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank
where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank
account.
I don’t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill, I
agree tha t40 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect
to the provision of a foreign account,5 % will be set aside for expenses
incurred during the business and 55% would be for me. There after I will
visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you
must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased
indicating:
(1) your bank name,
(2) your bank account number,
(3) your private telephone and
(4) fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in
the money will be remitted.
All modalities of this transaction have been carefully worked out and once
started will not take more than fourteen (14) working days, with your full
support.
This transaction is 100% risk free. it involve no any implication and no any
precaution there after.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of
the application.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear
as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter
through my private box:edwarde1@myway.com
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
MR EDWARD YAU.
SHANGHAI COMMERCIAL BANK LIMITED (UK BRANCH)
