Happy New Year

From: Zhang Wu - zhang_investments@rediffmail.com

Dear Friend,

Happy New Year !

Although, I do not know you in person, I have got your contact via
personal search on the internet; Let me start by introducing myself. I am
Mr. Zhang Wu a banker in the Hang Seng Bank Ltd, Hong Kong .

I have a profitable transaction for you. I was attending a business
luncheon in September 1999 in china and I got introduced to Mr. Andreas
Schranner, a renowned German real Estate/property magnate. He later
employed my services
as a banker and investment Consultant, Three months later he invited me
and told
me of his desire to open a fixed deposit account, he could fall back to
on retirement, under my professional guidance and based on my advice he
made a fixed deposit of $12,000,000.00 USD (Twelve Million United States Dollars) in one of our branches.

This deposit was for 5 years and upon maturity I made effort to contact
my client, l could not reach him. I was forced to travel to Germany and
there I got the tragic news that, my client Mr.Andreas Schranner, his
wife Maria, their daughter Andrea Eich, his son in law Christian, and
their children Maximilian and Katharina, all perished in the Monday, 31
July, 2000 plane crash in western German city of Moenchengladbach.Please

After further investigation, l also discovered that Mr. Andreas
Schranner did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the
paper work of his bank deposit. And l remember he also confided in me
the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his
deposit in my bank. So, ($25,000,000.00) Twenty Five Million United State
dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to
claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my
country at the expiration of a certain number of years the funds will revert
to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim
the funds.

Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as
a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr.Andreas Schranner so that
you will be able to act on his behalf and receive his funds. Should you
be interested please send me your full names and current residential
address and finally after that I shall provide you with more
details.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
