Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Barrister Philip D. Moor, Attorney at law. A decease client of mine by the name Mr. Andreas Schranner, who herein after shall be referred to as my client, died as a result of heart-related conditions in 2006.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated, or declared unserviceable by the bank where this deposit value at (US29, 000, 000.00) is lodged. This bank has issued me a noticed to contact the next of kin or the account will be confiscated.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next of kin/beneficiary of my late client. So that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you, then we can share the amount on a mutual agreement. Please,if this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology.
Please reply through my direct email address if you are interested to be a partner in this transaction.
Email: phillipmoor01@hotmail.co.uk
Best Regards,
Philip D. Moor
