Subject: YOUR SINCERE ASSISTANCE NEEDED
FROM THE DESK OF
THE CHIEF ACCOUNTANT
MR. PAN JUN.
HANG SENG BANK LTD,
DES VOEUX RD.BRANCH
CENTRAL HONG KONG
HONG KONG.
CHINA.
I am Mr.Qin Wang credit officer of Hang Seng Bank
Ltd have an urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you. I honestly apologize and hope I
do not cause you much embarrassment by contacting you
through this means for a transaction of this
magnitude, but this is due to confidentiality and
prompt access reposed on this medium, Furthermore due
to this issue on my hands now, it became necessary for
me to seek your assistance, and it is imperative for
me to know your opinion. On April 24, 2000, a BRITISH
Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid
Minerals Corporation Mr. Richard nault made a numbered
time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months,
valued at US$11,000,000.00 (ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS) 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. Richard Nault died from an
automobile accident. On Further investigation, I found
out that he died without making a WILL and all
attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I
therefore made further investigation and discovered
that Mr. Richard Nault did not declare any kin or
relations in all his official documents, including his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$11,000,000.00 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.
Richard Nault 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 authorization of the WILL and to obtain
the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.
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.
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
telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. 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. Qin Wang
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
Hong Kong.
