JAMES RYAN T

FINANCIAL CONSULTANT

LONDON,U.K.

Subject : Invitation to assist as Next of Kin,

I write this august letter in confidence, believing that it will reach
you in high spirit and I believe you will maintain the level of
confidence and trust matters of this nature requires. Though, I know that this
proposal may make you apprehensive and worried, but I assure you that
all will be well at the end,as it stands to benefit both of us. A random
search based on your locality from the Internet produced your name and
email address.

Before proceeding, I wish to introduce myself to you .I am James Ryan
T. a Financial Consultant to a deceased Immigrant Mr Andreas
Schranner,property magnate who was based in the U.K., who happens to be my
client.On the 25th of July 2000, my client, his wife Maria,their daughter
Andrea Eich,her husband Christian, and their children Katharina and
Maximilian all died in the Air France concord plane crash bound for New York
in their plan for a world cruise.

Since then I have been managing his properties here in the U.K. and

some others which he put out for sale. The properties which have long

been put out on sale have now been paid for and now the money paid has
long been deposited into his local bank account here. I have contacted
you to assist in repatriating the money and estate left behind by my
client before they get seized or declared unserviceable by his
bank.Particularly, the bank has issued me with a notice to provide any of his
next of kin or have the account confisticated within a short period of
time. my late client has an account valued at Twelve Million Three Hundred
United States Dollars (12.3 Million USD).

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of my clients relatives
for some time now and with no one coming forward since my client passed
on and with the bank now giving me a deadline, I now seek your consent
to present you as the next of kin to my deceased client, so that the
proceeds of his account valued at Twelve Million Three Hundred United
States Dollars (12.3 Million USD). Only can be paid to you. This I intend
we share amongst ourselves.

I have all the necessary information that can be used to back up any

Claim that we may make and I can assure you that you shall be paid the
amount as the next of kin to my late client.

All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Trust me as his
personal consultant that this is a risk-free transaction. Pls get back
to me immediately with the following information:

1)Your full names and contact address

2)Telephone and fax numbers .

Upon receipt of this information,we shall discuss further about this

transaction and do get back to me via my condential mail box

Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.

Best regards,

The guy who runs the site scams the scammers, and makes them do stupid things like taking photos of themselves holding stupid signs!
