Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?ATTENTION?=
Good Day,
Although, I do not know you in person, I got your
contact via personal search on the internet, Let me
start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Wan Yonghong a
banker in HANG SENG BANK, Hong Kong . I have a
concealed business suggestion/transaction for you.I
was attending a business
lunch in September 1999 in china and I was 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 USD5, 500,000 (Five Million
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in one of
our branches.
This deposit was for 7 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 :

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, Twenty Five 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 Hong Kong
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 following information below via my
private email account (yonwan2008@yahoo.co.uk)
Full Names
Direct Telephone/ Fax Numbers
Residential Address
Job Description
Then I shall provide you with more details of this
transaction. Once the funds have been transferred to
your nominated bank account we shall share in the
ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you and 5% for any
expenses incurred during the course of this operation
Your earliest response to this proposal will highly be
appreciated.
please reply me back on this my private email for security reasons:(yonwan2008@yahoo.co.uk).
Best Regards,
Mr. Wan Yonghong
