Mr Sam Davis
HSBC Bank Plc

City of London,
London, EC1N 2HR
Dear Friend,
I am Mr Sam Davis, Accounts Manager, of HSBC Bank Plc. I have an important business proposition for you.
On December 12th, 2001, a German contractor with the British Petroleum corporation, United Kingdom ,Mr. Olaf Partetzke made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at 18,500,000:00GBP(Eighteen million five hundred Great Britain Pounds) 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 British Petroleum corporation that Mr.Olaf Partetzke died from an Automobile accident further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Olaf Partetzke did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of 18,500,000:00GBP 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 inheritance Laws of the United Kingdom, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Local Government Authorities here in London, United Kingdom, if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Olaf Partetzke 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 need your assistance as a foreigner because the money cannot be approved to anybody here. The management must approve this payment to you if you have the correct information of this account, which I will give to you,upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable.
There is no risk at all, because with my influence, This fund can be transferred to any foreigner reliable account, which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival at your end for sharing.
At the conclusion of this business, we will share the fund in the ratio of 60% for me and 35% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the transaction .
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks and regards.
Mr Sam Davis
