Subject: Hartford Naessen
From the desk of:
Dr.Cheng Hon Kwan GBS,JP.
Wing Hang Bank,Ltd.
ATTENTION: Cynthia L. Naessen
Late Hartford Naessen,A national of your country.In the course of our auditng I discovered a flaoting fund in an account in the Bank company which was opened in 1990 belonging to a dead foreigner(Hartford Naessen).
I am the Auditor of Wing Hang Bank,Ltd Having made a very frantic and exhaustive search for any family member that would lay claim to this fund, I decided to take my chance with you.I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to the deceased as I have all documentations including his certified Death Certificate that will facilitate your stand as next of kin to he as he had a closing balanced of US$25,500,000.00 here in our bank in Central,Hong Kong.
I will want to move the sum of $22.5M from the bank of Wing Hang,Ltd to your shores .
I therefore made further investigation and discovered the No declaration of any kin or relations in all her official documents,including the Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$25.5M 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 Republic 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.I cannot release the fund from the account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the beneficiary since you both have the same last name, so that these cohorts in power will not take over this benefit.
I am therefore write to ask you that you quietly partner with me or look for a reliable and honest personality or organisation that will be capable of providing an account or would be capable of setting up a new one that will serve the purpose of receiving this fund.Even an empty account can also serve as long as there will be honesty to us till the end of the transaction and I hope you will never let me down.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with the following;
1. Beneficiary name and address
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers
These requirements will enable me make some internal filing of your name in form A2, T12 and other vital forms as next of kin
I am ready to give you the sum of $9,500,000 ($9.5M) for you assistance and partnering with me. I look foward to your prompt.
Best Regards ,
Cheng Hon Kwan,Dr.
