From: Hsbc Bank Plc <hsbcbankplccode111@yahoo.com>
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 12:27:50 -0800 (PST)
Subject: ATTENTION: MICHEAL GALLATIN.
FROM THE HONORABLE OFFICE OF THE
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER HSBC BANK PLC,
8 CANADA SQUARE LONDON, E14 5HQ UNITED KINGDOM
PRIVATE EMAIL: hsb_sbnk_002@hotmail.com
ATTENTION: MICHEAL GALLATIN,
My name is Mr. Welshman Dyfrig John, the executive officer to hsbc bank Plc London. I decided to contact you after a careful thought that youmight be capable of handling this business transaction, which I explained below ;
Please be informed that, in my department we discovered an abandoned sum of 100,000,00 UK pounds (One Hundred Thousand UK pounds), in anaccount that belongs to one of our foreign customer (LATE MR. DAVID A. GALLATIN ) who died along time ago with his entire family in 1999 in a plane crash. Since we got informed 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 for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that his supposed next of kin (his son and wife) died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin (We want to present you as his business associate) to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement,
since no one is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained Unclaimed after nine years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a BurkinJerrell cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
We agree that 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business, and 50% would be for me and my colleagues down here. There after my colleagues and I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to your account as arranged, you must apply first to the Director to my Bank as next of kin of the deceased customer. Also, I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
Now my questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
I expect that you to contact me with Your Full Name, Occupation, Telephone and Fax numbers to my private box: hsb_sbnk_002@hotmail.com and so I can use it to file an application letter on your behalf to the Chief Director of Hsbc Bank Plc.
Hoping to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
MR. WELSHMAN DYFRIG JOHN.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER HSBC BANK PLC,
