Attention: Sir,

I am Iain Mackay am Chief Financial Officer in HSBC Bank.I am getting in touch with you regarding the estate of Gerard whom you share the same surname with and an investment placed under our banks management 9 years ago.

I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail. I contact you independently and no one is informed of this communication. In 2004, the subject matter; Gerard came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of US$35.000.000.00 United States dollars, which he wished to have us invest on his behalf.

Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at $5.370.000.00 United States Dollars, which brings the total portfolio to US$40.370.000.00. In mid 2006, he instructed that US$4.000.000.00 be wired to an account in Canada while the balance (US$ 36.370.000.00) be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in TURKEY.

We got in touch with a specialist bank in TURKEY the Winston Bank (WNB) who agreed to receive this money for a fee and make cash available to Gerard. However Winston Bank got in touch with us last year that this money has not been claimed. On further enquirers we found out that Gerard was involved in an accident in Mainland China , which means he died intestate. He has no next of kin and the reason I am writing you is because you are name sakes.

What I propose is that since I have exclusive access to his file, you will be made the beneficiary of these funds. My bank will contact you informing you that money has been willed to you. On verification, which will be the details I make available to my bank, my bank will instruct Winston Bank to make payments to you. You do not have to have known him. I know this might be a bit heavy for you but please trust me on this. For all your troubles I propose that we split the money(US$36.370.000.00) in half. In the banking circle this happens every time. The other option is that the money will revert back to the state. Nobody is getting hurt; this is a lifetime opportunity for us. I hold the KEY to these funds, and as a British National we see so much cash and funds being re-assigned daily. I would want us to keep communication for now strictly by the above Email.

Please, again, note I am a family man; I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a 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. Please get back to me immediately via Email as above. I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account as this transaction will not be done under the clock of my employer. Contact will be through my new personal numbers and also through the above email address i just registered for this transaction, same could apply to you if you wish.

Awaiting your immediate response.
Best Regards
Iain Mackay
