Good Day,
I sincerely seek your honest assistance and contribution to this crucial
business that is very important to me and if you are not interested in the
proposal, please accept my apologies in advance.
I am Mr. Iqbal Ahmed Khan, the Managing Director Hong Kong & Shanghai
Bancorp HSBC Amanah Finance, London, United Kingdom and the chief executive
officer, HSBC Middle East, Dubai, UAE.

In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of 20.5 million dollars in an
account that belongs to a foreign customer of the bank who died alongside
his wife, Children and other relatives in the Air France concord plane crash
bound for New York in their plan for a world cruise. See the link below:

This late customer has an account valued at 20.5 million dollars. Already,
the bank has issued a notice for any of his next of kin to come forward and
redeem his money or the bank will take over his account. Unfortunately from
our investigations and confirmations from his attorney he has no family
member to stand in as his next of kin. Since the bank has been unsuccessful
in locating the relatives of the deceased for some years now, and with the
bank giving a deadline, I now seek your consent to present you as the next
of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at 20.5
million dollars could be paid to you and then you and I can share the money.
50% to me, 40% for you and 10% for miscellaneous expenses that might arise.
I have been in contact with his attorney who is also a part of this deal,
who also has all the necessary information that can be used to back up any
Claim we may make.
Obviously we need to conclude this business as soon as possible before the
money goes into the Bank's Treasury because the HSBC banking law and
guideline stipulates that if such fund remains un-claimed for 6 years, the
money would be declared unserviceable by the bank particularly and
transferred into the Bank's Treasury as un-claimed debt.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Trust me; this
is a Risk free business relationship.
Please get in touch with me via my personal email address, and send me your
full name and address, telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss
further about this transaction.
Best regards,
Mr.Iqbal Ahmed Khan
