Subject: If we can be of one accord

Complement of the day,


Thank you for giving me your time. Please be patient and read my email to you.
I am Mrs.Yong Qin Wang a staff of Standard Chartered Bank Hong Kong attached in
Private Banking services. I am contacting you concerning a customer and, an
investment placed under our banks management 4 years ago, I contacted you
independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication
and I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of
interest to you.


In 2004, the subject matter; ref:SSCB/SCB/bank/77 came to our bank to engage in
business discussion with our Private Banking Service Department. He informed us
that he had a financial portfolio of 23 million United States Dollars, which he
wished to have us turn over on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his
case, I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief
operations officer of the Private Banking Service Department, especially given
the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We meet on numerous
occasions prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider
various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to
customers is to start by assessing data on 600 traditional stocks and bond
managers and alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun the money
around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first month of
operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at this point at over 10
million United St


I contacted my affiliate in Europe and had the funds available in main land
Europe. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise
instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited in a security consultancy
firm, the firm is a specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net
worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or
undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly
private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and
well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was
deposited. He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival
from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this
transpired around 25th February 2006. In June last year, we got a call from the
security firm informing us of the inactivity of that particular portfolio. This
was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I
managed the private ban


The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of
kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate.
If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our
services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from
conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the
field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of
its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and
codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to
depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself,
ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they
nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of
kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; he died in
testate.

What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to
understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the
internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private
banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain
offices and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put
together the general direction of what I propose. There is US$ 23,000,000.00
deposited, I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to
no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this
deposit for as far as the finance firm, the transaction with our deceased
customer concluded when I sent the funds to the firm, all outstanding
interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process.
The finance firm has no single idea of what's the history or nature of the
deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any
party that comes forwar


My proposal;
I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct the finance firm to release
the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the
deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half and no more. That is:
I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit
to you. We share the proceeds 50/50. I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be
released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my
involvement in claiming the deposit. But on the other hand, you as a foreigner
and also with all the necessary legal and official documentations from me and
the presiding attorney and also with the authority vested upon me by the
original depositor, you would easily pass as the beneficiary with the rights to
claim. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you in a few days.
I will simply inform our bank of the final closing of the file relating to the
customer. I will then officially communicate with the finance company and
instruct th

With these two things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have the
firm direct the funds to another bank with you as account holder. This way there
will be no need for you to think of receiving the money from the firm. We can
fine-tune this based on our interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this
proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should
discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive or destructive. If my
offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted
you. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may
not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable
situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I
do; I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to
understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such
opportunities only come once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me b

If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this email:
qinwangg@yahoo.com.hk If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this
process towards a conclusion Please observe this instruction religiously. Please
note again, I am a happily married with two kids. I send you this mail not
without a measure of fear as to what the consequences might be, but I know
within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches
never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned
from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of
one accord, we should plan a meeting, soon.

I await your response.


Sincerely,

Mrs Yong Qin Wang
