FROM THE DESK OF KINGSLEY NWANKWO
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
HSBC BANK LONDON.

Dear Friend,
I am the manager of Auditing and Accounting department of HSBC BANK LONDON.
In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of (Eleven Million, Three Hundred and Seven Thousand, Four Hundred and twnety One United States Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers (MR.ADRIANO MULLA from AMERICA) who died along with his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash. For more information about the crash visit this site:(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm)
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
somebody applies as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in
our banking guidelines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt alongside
with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you and the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into
the bank's treasury as ''unclaimed bill''. The banking law and guideline
here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the
money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this businessis occassioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a BRITISH citizen cannot
stand as next of kin to a foreigner.I agree that 30% of this money will
be for you as a respect to the provision of a foriegn account by you, and
70% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentage indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you have to apply first to the bank as a relation or next of kin of the deceased with a text of application form that I will send to you when I hear from you, hence I will want you to send to me your private telephone and fax numbers for easy and effective communication and location wherein the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application form . Note that this transaction is hitch-free as all
required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should
contact me through the above contact details immediately as soon
as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Faithfully,
MR. KINGSLEY NWANKWO
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
HSBC BANK LONDON
