Subject: In good faith

FROM THE DESK OF:
MR.WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD.BRANCH
CENTRAL HONG KONG
HONG KONG.

Dear Sir/madam,

I am Mr.Wang Qin, credit officer of Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an urgent and
very confidential business proposition for you.
On June 6, 1998, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid
Minerals Corporation,Mr.David Huckerby made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit
for twelve calendar months, valued at US$28,000,000.00 (Twenty-eight Million
Dollars only) in my branch. Upon maturity,I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers, the Hong Kong Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. David Huckerby
died from an automobile accident. On further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and allttempts
to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.David Huckerby
did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including
his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$28,000,000.00 is still
sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal
sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Laws of Hong Kong, at the expiration of 5(five) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to
claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in
as the next of kin to Mr. David Huckerby so that the fruits of this old man's
labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.This is
simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so
that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that
will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of
the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any
part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of
this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 70%
for me and 25% for you and 5% for expenses incurred in the course of the
transaction.
There is no risk at all,as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done
by the attorney and with my position as the credit officer guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply
immediately to my personal email box:
W_qin@email.ro
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please send me your confidential email and fax numbers for easy communication
as my spoken english is not very good.
You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Awaiting your urgent reply.

Thanks and regards.

Mr.Wang Qin.
