Dear Sir,
I am the Personal Attorney to late Mr. Andrea Schranner a successful Real Estate magnate, who died along with his entire family in a plane crash in Germany on 31 July, 2000. My late Client may or may not be related to you. I narrowed down my search to you based on your nationality which you both share. The main reason why I ask you to contact me is because I need your urgent assistance in resolving an issue that just cropped up. Since the past 14 years I have waited patiently and searched fruitlessly for any surviving distant relation of my late client all to no avail.
Now as the Personal Attorney then to late Mr. Andrea Schranner, the bank where his money is deposited recently wrote me to notify me of plans to forfeit his unclaimed fund to the Treasury, if I fail to come forward with a next of kin within the next 14 work days. I don't want the fund to go into the Treasury as an unclaimed fund and probably end up in the pockets of top officials. I strongly suspect this “TREASURY THING“ to be a ploy because there have been many unusual and unsavory interest in this particular bank account for the past couple of years; this is the reason why I am contacting you base on the fact that you share same nationality with my late client. I want to present you to the bank as the next of kin to my late client whether you are related or not.
I directly and personally have all the necessary back up documents and will source all other necessary papers legally to support the successful release of the fund to you without delay provided you agree to work with me and strictly take my professional advice and official directives to actualize the fund to your/our custody. The account is valued at Twenty One Million and Five Hundred Thousand United Kingdom pounds sterling (21.5 GBP). I prefer to give 50% of the proceeds to charity than let the bank officials have it, while we share the balance of 50% for our troubles.
If interested please send in your contact telephone number in your return mail so that we can talk further.
I await your positive response.
Best regards,
Paul Stone
