Since the death of Andreas Schranner, his fund has been in the bank without any one to lay claim to it since the whole family died in the plane crash.
We have the sum of US$35,500.000.00 (Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred United States Dollars) in his bank account and are set to transfer this sum which is why we are contacting you.
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims to this money as the heir being that none of them is aware of this fund as the only ones aware of it died with him in the plane crash.
We cannot release the fund from his account unlesssomeone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, we now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will be worked out by us for the funds (US$35,500.000.00) to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin. It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate court, an order of madamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries.

Direct Telephone and Fax numbers.These requirements will enable us file a letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the transfer can be made.
