Yeah I know, I'm willing to take the chance because I do not have a Citifinancial account!

Yes, they claim you are going to inherit millions if you only send them a wire transfer of $10,000 to start the proceedings...

I know there are some people who actually send them the money... my banker always tells me stories of people getting scammed.

Alot of these scams seem to originate from Nigeria, they seem to be able to get away with the scams there. The govt. there does not track them down and prosecuting them is difficult.
If something seems to be too good to be true, it probably is.

Attention Friend,

The inspiration to contact you is simply divine providence, I am making this proposition because I have to seek the partnership of a resource person to help me realize this project.

I am Barrister Richard Williams a solicitor and investment consultant based in London,united kingdom.

I was attending a business lunche on in Berlin, Germany and I got introduced to the renowned German businessman and property mogul, Mr.Andreas Schranner (of the blessed memory).

He engaged my services as attorney and investment consultant and my primary assignment was to spear head his investment forays in the United Kingdom.

Three months later I invited him to London and under my professional guidance and based on my advice he made a fixed deposit of £14,000,000,00 Million pounds sterling at a financial institution [FOURTEEN MILLION POUNDS STERLING] .

This deposit was for 5years and upon maturity I made effort to contact my client, I could not reach him or any member of his family.

I was forced to travel to Germany and there I got the tragic news that on Monday 31 July 2000, my client Mr. Andreas schranner, his wife Maria, their daughter Eich and husband Christian and their two children perished in the air France Concorde new York bound flight;

Please Click here and find out what happened to the family http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/h...859479.stm

I have made efforts to locate any member of his family since then with strong biological links to my late client without success.
The search to find a close relation is one that has consumed time and resources.

The institution is asking me to either present a next of kin to late Mr.Andreas Schranner or forfeit the deposit. My proposal is to package, present you as next of kin to late Mr.Andreas Schranner and process the fixed deposit and transfer custody to you for our mutual benefit.

My capacity as solicitor/investment consultant to my late client gives me the discretion to package and transfer the deposit to you.

I will give you 20% for your effort, 40% for me, and 30% for Charity Organization while the remaining 10% is mapped out for all local and International expenses. It will amount to injustice if I do not take this decisive step to secure this deposit, and invest it.

The late schranner was also a friend in addition to our business relationship.

I will wait for your reaction and response and then together we can jumpstart this project and nurture it to reality.

You are adviced to send me your full information below,

1,YOUR FULL NAME
2,YOUR MOBILE TELEPHONE AND FAX INCLUDING YOUR OFFICE AND HOME PHONE NUMBER.
3,YOUR MAILING ADDRESS.
4,YOUR AGE AND OCCUPATION.
5,YOUR COMPANY NAME.
6, COPY OF YOUR INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT

I await your respond.
Mr.Richard Williams.


Dear Mr Richard Williams.... will be waiting forever

My Dearest one,

It is my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I and my Son Joe intends to establish in your country. Though I have not met you before but I believe one has to risk in confiding his\her secret to succeed sometimes in life. There is this huge amount of money ($8,600,000.00) million U.S dollars in a consignment box which my late Husband Dr Tichaona Jokonya kept for us in one security company in Abidjan before he was assasinated by President Robert Mugabe's government in his hotel room on 24th June 2006.He is the Zimbabwe minister of information and Publicity, he had a very big farm for cocoa export. It all happened as he was fighting for the right and freedom of the journalist and press company in Zimbabwe. while, President Mugabe pretends that my late husband is one of the key allies in his government the day he was buried and honored with the National Heroes Acre, with full military honors.

Moreover, my late husband made it clear to me that he did not understand what was going on in the ministry especially in
his department that any time there is scheduled meeting with the president, they seat the meeting 2hours before the schedule time with the president and i told him if you did not understand what was going on please resign because the preasure is too much for only you.He later told me that he had an appointment with the United Nation officials to discuss the matter. On that very meeting he was murdered in his hotel room. But before he left for the meeting the country is no more convienient for us.
He had made an arrangement on our relocation to Ivory coast and that was why he deposited the above amount in the security company but he declared it as Art work and family valuable item that are ready to export and if we did not have enough money to clear it we should look for a foreigner who will be willing to assist us. He warned me not to disclose this secret to any body in the country because if they find out, they might take it all and leave noting for us. Dear i asure you that it is totally risk free.

Now i and my son have decided to invest these money in your country or anywhere safe enough outside Africa for political
reasons. Dearest all we want you to do for us is to step forward as our foreign partner and the new beneficiary to the
security company so that the money will be retrieved, Remember he declare it as family valuables to the security company for security reason. We have all the neccesary informations to back it up. We will sincerely give you 12% out of the money, 5% for any expenses incurred during the transaction and the rest will be used for any investement preferred by you in your country or investment purposes preferably on these areas:

1). Telecommunication
2). The transport industry
3). Five star hotel

we are pleading to you with the name of Almighty God to help us out of this problem.If you can be of an assistance and
truthful to us, we will be very happy.


I am kindly waiting for your soonest response.
Respectfully yours,
Mrs. Tina Jokonya.
