Subject: I MUST SOLICIT YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THIS TRANSACTION
International Remittance Department
HSBC Bank Argentina.
Head Office : Pueyrredón 1811 6?B, Buenos Aires, Capital Federal 1119, Argentina.
I MUST SOLICIT YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THIS TRANSACTION
Sir, with due respect I got your contact during my search for a reliable, trust worthy and honest person to introduce this transfer project to. My name is Mr. Smith Anderson.
I am a staff of HSBC BANK International Remittance Department in Pueyrredón Argentina. I am a Citizen of britain married with two kids.
We discovered an abandoned sum of US$14,320,000.00 (fourteen million three hundred and twenty thousand united states dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our customers(Mr. Walt Anderson) who died along with his wife and entire family on 25th July, 2000,Air France Concorde
Flight 4590 plane crash. Since his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims for this money as the heir. We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines, unfortunately, no family member nor relative has ever appeared to claim the said fund.
For your confirmations, you can visit this website for more info 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 or relatives to come over and claim his money because the Bank cannot release the funds unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or a relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Unfortunately, I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund to claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and two other officials in this department now decided to solicit your confidence to apply for the release of the fund to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safe keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go back into Government treasury as unclaimed bill.
We agreed that 20% of this money will be for you as the supposed next of kin, while 5% out of the total sum is set aside for any expenses both party will incur during the completion of the transfer, and remaining balance of 75% will be for me and my colleagues. I will visit your country for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated above once this US$14,320,000.00 (fourteen million three hundred and twenty thousand united states dollars) gets into any safe account that will be provided by you. Please be honest with me and trust should be our watchword in this transaction. Note that this transaction is highly confidential and 100% risk free.
On receipt of this mail, please contact me by return mail or my most confidential e-mail below if you are willing to enter into this transaction with me. In the event you are not interested, I sincerely ask that you disregard this email and tell no one about it. I am very careful not to truncate my banking career should you mention this to someone else that might blow the lid. I hope you can be trusted in this regard as I am fully aware that you are an international figure hence this approach.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these funds to you has been finalized. We will discuss much in details when I do receive your positive response. Please in your response include your direct secured telephone/fax numbers for a better communication between you and me only. You can contact me in my private e-mail
