Subject: Hello

I am Mr. Naoki Takahashi, Business Relations Manager for Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group in Japan. I would respectfully request that you keep the content of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of information I give you. I contact you independently and no one is aware of this communication.

I contact you with regard to the estate of a deceased client who is from your country and has an investment placed under our bank management. Since the earthquake and Tsunami, our bank has seen a lot of foreign investors move their investments to other part of Asia and Middle East (China, Hong Kong and Dubai mostly). As part of the ongoing financial reforms in Japan, we have engaged in audit and review of accounts of investors and this has mandated my bank to inquire about owners of inactive investment accounts. I happen to be in charge of a client whose inquiries have showed that he died with his family in the recent earthquake disaster. My client made an investment of $16.2 million United States dollars with the private banking division of our bank in 2002 and has since made profit on interest. With the recent financial crisis following the disaster, his portfolio is decreasing and is now $21.5 million USD, which will be reverted into government purse if no relative comes forward to claim the fund.

He has no next of kin and the reason I am writing you is to propose that you stand as his next of kin. I propose that since I have exclusive access to this file, you will be made the beneficiary of these funds by proper legal process and your name put on file in the bank. Upon applying for the fund, my bank shall contact you to make payment of the money into any account you shall nominate or provide for the money to be sent to you. This transaction shall be done legally and 100% risk free and the money transferred into your account within 10 working days.

I know this might be a bit heavy for you but please trust me on this. For all your trouble I propose to give you 40%. In the banking circle this happens every time. Nobody will get hurt; this is a lifetime opportunity for us. I hold the KEY to these funds, and decide to do this before new and stricter financial laws are put by the Japanese government. Please, I am a man with a wife and children. I send you this mail not without measure of fear as to the consequences, 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 act swiftly on this. I would want us to keep communication for now strictly via my personal E-mail; naokitakahashi65@yahoo.jp , Fax or Telephone.

I await your response.

Regards,
Mr. Naoki Takahashi
