"I am a treasury manager of a well known bank here in South Africa. I have a
concealed business suggestion for us to do. We had a client named MR. ANDREAS
SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany. He was a contractor and an arms dealer to The
south african national Government. He made several deposits (fixed) with our
treasury department amounting to $15.5million upon maturity, several notices
where sent to him but we never got a response untill we discovered that he and
his entire family died in an air crash in the year 2000.Since then nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money
because he has no family members who are aware of the existence of neither the
account nor the funds. Also our Banking regulations here demands that domant accounts
over Ten (10) Years should be paid to state reserves. With this the whole funds will be
forfeited to the state entirely. I have secretly discussed this matter with a senior
manager with us and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with
although due to his position he did not want to take active part but as soon as
you follow my instructions everything will be successful because we will
be working hand in hand with him. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is
that we would like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to the late
Adndreas Schranner so you will be able to receive his funds.WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come
out successful. I have contacted someone in the South African department of
Justice who will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the
next of kin to Mr. Adndreas Schranner. All that is required from you at this
stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names, Address and contact
telephone number so that the person who will handle the title documents can
commence his job. As soon as this is done a letter of probate/Administration
will be issued in your favor for Making you the Administrator of the late
Mr. Adndreas Schranner’s Estate and with this you can make application for the
release of the funds with our Bank to you.There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt legal
methods in applying for the release of the funds to you. Please endeavor to
observe utmost discretion in all matters Concerning this issue. Once the funds
have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio
of 60% for me, 35% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the course of
this Transaction.Should you be interested please send me your private phone and fax numbers for easy
communication, you can write me via my private email address and I will provide
you with more details of this operation. Your prompt response to this letter
will be appreciated."
Kind Regards.
— Mr. John Goodman
