NOTIFICATION OF BEQUEST
On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estates of late Mr.Andreas
Schranner, I once again try to notify you as my earlier letter returned
undelivered.
I hereby attempt to reach you again by this same email address on the WILL.
I wish to notify you that late Mr.Andreas Schranner made you a beneficiary
to his WILL. He left the sum of Seventeen Million Four Hundred Thousand
Dollars (US$17,400.000.00 ) to you in the codicil and last testament to his
WILL.
This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true.
Being a widely travelled man, he must have been in contact with you in the
past or simply you were recommended to him by one of his numerous friends
abroad who wished you good. Mr.Andreas Schranner was a property magnate
until his death.
He had a very good heart and loved to give out. His great philanthropy
earned him numerous awards during his life time. Late Mr.Andreas Schranner
died on on Monday, 31 July, 2000 at the age of 64 years, and his WILL is now
ready for execution.

to help the poor and the needy in our society.
Please if I reach you this time as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back to me
through fax or email: admalischambers@yahoo.com as soon as possible to
enable me conclude my job.
I hope to hear from you in no distant time.
Yours in Service,
Barrister Malis Andrew.
