Subject: This is very urgent
Dear Friend,
The letter I send to you was borne out of deep convention that we both can achieve the award of bequeathed pecuniary Will and this could also serve the purpose of Charity, in addition to making you and me realizes some thing out of these. Consequently, my proposal is that I would like you to stand out as the lawful appointee Beneficiary to the outstanding clause of the deceased Will so that the fruits of his labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt bank officials.
I am Mr. EDWARD YAU of SHANGHAI COMMERCIAL BANK LIMITED (London Branch) I am contacting you based on Trust and confidentiality that will be attached to this transaction.
The Management and the Legal department of our BANK (SHANGHAI COMMERCIAL BANK LIMITED UK) in a recent meeting, Recommended that the account of WAI-CHING CHUNG, who was one of my branch depositor, should be declared Dormant, confisticated and the depositor's fund sent to the Bank Treasury according to UK Banking and financial law. He died in world trade centre as a victims of the September 11,2001 incident that befall the United State of America, the bank has made series of efforts to contact any of the relatives to claim this money but without success, you can confirm through this site:
http://www.september11victims.com/september11Victims/victims_list.htm
Mr. WAI-CHING CHUNG is an account holder in my branch, he owns a dollar account with the sum of US$58.2M (Fifty Eight Million, two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) deposited in a Secret account with my branch .In fact, since his death, no next of kin of the Dollar account holder(the brother) nor any relative of him has shown up for the claim this because he has the account as a secret account thus he left all the documents for the deposit with me. This is where I am interested and where I want you to come in.
If after some years, the funds are unclaimed, the bank will confiscate the fund into the bank treasury, Hence there is a Government Gazette/Circular Mandating/Authorizing Banks to place on hold or freeze any account containing large amounts that has been unserviceable for a reasonable period of time. This is geared towards forestalling capital flight from the economy.
In order to avert this negative development, I have contacted you for assistance.
I wish to clarify you with the following issues! That we are the Counsel to the said deceased; Mr. WAI-CHING CHUNG; this is why the Bank has given us the mandate to provide the Beneficiary of the aforementioned clause. I just want you to represent as the lawful Beneficiary.
This does not mean He is your relative as a matter of fact. My reason for asking you to do so is because it has taken me one year to search for any of the relatives but all effort was unsuccessful. He lived here for more than ten years before his demise.
There is nothing illegal about it, the bank advised that I notify the Beneficiary to come forward for claims. To solidify these claims, I will proceed to the Probate Registry Jurisdiction here in the United Kingdom to obtain documents such as grant of letters of administration which passes recognition and absolute right to claim. I will ensure that everything is legitimately done so that you could contact the Bank for the claims together with the documents from the Probate Registry Jurisdiction such that there will not be any breach of law. This would be taken to the probate division of Royal Court of Justice. After the confirmation, the probate would now release your letter of administration for claims to this Fund. This document will give you the legal backing to receive this Fund. I would also want your full names and address as you want them used in the approval/payment documents and your telephone and fax numbers. Thanks and God bless.
Looking forward to your highly appreciated comments at your convenience.
Thank you,
Mr.Edward Yau.
