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. I have an urgent and
very confidential business proposition for you.
On June 6, 1999, 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 furtherinvestigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and
allttempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.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.We 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 transfer. 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 box:
w_qin1994@yahoo.com
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction.Please 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.
