MR. Wang Qin.
HANG SENG BANK LTD,
DES VOEUX RD.BRANCH
CENTRAL HONG KONG
HONG KONG.
I am Mr. Wang Qin, credit officer of Hang Seng Bank Ltd,I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.I honestly apologize and hope I do not cause you much embarrassment by
contacting you through this means for a transaction of this
magnitude,but this is due to confidentia litv and prompt access reposed on this midium, Furthermore due to this issue on my hands now,it became necessary for me to seek your assistance, and it is imperative for me to know your opinion.On December 4,1999, an American Oil consultant/contractor with the chinese Solid Minerals Corporation mr Richrd nault made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$10,000,000.00 (TEN MILLION DOLLARS) 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. Richard Nault died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL,and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered
that Mr. RichardNault did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This
sum of US$10,000,000.00 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. Richard Nault 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 autorization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.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.You may reply to
my email box,wawangqq@netscape.net/wangqinhk1954@yahoo.com.hk

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 telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. 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
