Greetings,
private and urgent
I am Mr.Peter Cummings of the above mentioned bank in London.I’m a chartered accountant by training and the auditor general,Barclay`s Bank plc,there is an account opened in this bank in 1985 and the owner of the said account was late Mr.Andrean schranner, a German,who died in July 2000 in a plane crash with his entire family,without relatives nor next of kin to stand as a claim/beneficiary to this man’s fund,and the amount involve is (USD$ 45.000. 000.00) fourty five million US dollars. For more information about the crash visit this site

/>No other person/persons know about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that his company does not know anything about this account . I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money annot be approved to a local account here, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money is in US dollars (foreign currency) and the original owner of the account,Mr.Andrean
schranner,was a foreigner.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreign beneficiary,I want you to stand as the beneficiary of this fund,I will use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money into your account with appropriate clearance forms of the ministries and foreign exchange departments.I will tell you the next step to follow as soon as I hear from you.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr.Peter Cummings

Hey i dunno what to believe, is this legit? This is the only Andrew Schranner possible scam I’ve read that has not asked for a bank account number or anything.
Hello,
I write you this message with due sense of humanity and humility. Please, kindly take your time to understand the content of this email. I wish to intimate you on a confidential matter that would be of immense benefit to both of us. I considered it necessary, with regards to the current economic depression and unforeseen circumstances. Being an executor of wills, it is possible that we may be tempted to make fortune out of our client’s situations, when we cannot help it, or left with no better option. The issue I am presenting to you is a case of my client, Realtor Andrea Schranner, a German-American, who willed a fortune to his wife as next-of-kin. It was most unfortunate that he and his immediate and extended family perished in the AF4590 German Concorde crash in year 2000. I am now faced with indecision about who to pass the fortune to, since the Disclosure Department of Barclays Bank has sent me a memo in respect of the maturity of the deposits on 27th May, 2009.
However, I don’t belong to that school of thought which proposes that the fortune of unlucky people be given to the government. I therefore seek for your assistance in presenting you as the beneficiary to the deceased, since you are involved in realty and estate. Please give your response to this email via return email. I will reveal other details upon your response to this email and as soon as we establish mutual correspondence. I feel obliged to confidentially correspond you as an American citizen, ad I will give you my direct line once you are interested.
KINDLY READ THIS WEBSITE WELL AND GET BACK TO ME:

None of them are legitimate, Cecilia.
The African Emails are either written by 5 year olds or they use language which is hardly used in everyday life.
This one is an example of the latter.
