Dear Friend
Having obtained your contact from the Internet and coupled with my deep interest to invest in your country, I decided to contact and solicit your mutual assistance at all cost.
I am Paul Yorke, Manager, London international branch,HSBC Bank,
Plc.Level 26, 8 Canada Square, London.
On January 6th 2002, one Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser ,an Egyptian

leading firm of project and cost management consultants, made a
Numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at £19,500,000.00GBP (Nineteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand Pound) for twelve calendar months in my Bank Branch.
Upon Maturity, we 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 (Gardiner &
Theobald) that Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser died in an air disaster on
October 31st, 2002.
On further investigation, it was discovered that he died without
Making a WILL (En-state) and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. On further investigations, it was discovered that Late Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work here at the Bank. The total sum, £19,500,000.00GBP is still 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.
In accordance with the Banking Federal Laws and constitution, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of kin to late Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser so that you and I can benefit from the fruits of this old man's labor to enhance humanitarian Organization Worldwide. Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you detailed information on how this deal would be transacted. We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the drafting of the LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser and to obtain all other relevant papers in your name for the necessary documentation for payment approval in my bank headquarters in your favor.
The money will be shared in this ratio: Sixty percent for me,
Thirty five percent for you and five percent for any arising
Contingencies during the course of this transaction.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law, as I will use my position as the Manager, London international branch to secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. It will take only 7-14 working days to conclude this transaction.
Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality is required.
