FROM THE DESK OF:
MR.WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD.BRANCH
CENTRAL HONG KONG
HONG KONG.

Dear Sir/madam,

I am Mr.Wang Qin, credit officer of Hang Seng Bank Ltd.OF HONGKONG
I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.On

June 6,2000, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese

Solid Minerals Corporation,Mr.David Huckerby made a numbered time

(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$28,000,000.00

(Twenty-eight Million Dollars only) in my branch. Upon maturity,I sent

a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no

reply.After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from

his contract employers, the Hong Kong Solid Minerals Corporation that

Mr. David Huckerby died from an automobile accident. On further

investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all

ttempts to trace his next of kin was I therefore made further

investigation and discovered that Mr David Huckerby did not declare

any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank

Deposit paperwork in my Bank.This sum of US$28,000,000.00 is still

sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the

principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward

to claim it.
According to Laws of Hong Kong, at the expiration of 5(five) years,

the money will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if

nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to

stand in as the next of kin to Mr. David Huckerby so that the fruits

of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt

government officials.This is simple, I will like you to provide

immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will

prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in

place as the next of kin. e shall employ the services of an attorney

for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary

documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the A

bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then

facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next

of kin.The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the

ratio of 70% for me and 25% for you and 5% for expenses incurred in

the course of the transaction.
There is no risk at all,as all the paperwork for this transaction will

be done by the attorney and with my position as the credit officer

guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are

interested, please reply immediately to my personal email

wang00@walla.com Upon your response, I shall then provide you with

more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the

transaction.lease send me your confidential email and fax numbers for

easy communication as my spoken english is not very good.You should

observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction

would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your

assistance to invest my share in your country.

Awaiting your urgent reply.

Thanks and regards
mr, wang Qin
