>From The Desk of: Director Of Operations
Custody / Clearing HSBC Bank Plc
24th Floor 8 Canada Square
London.
Dear Sir,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Stephen Green a Director of Operation at the above mentioned bank.I have a mutual beneficial business suggestion for you.
In June 1998, a German Oil consultant/contractor with the British Solid Minerals Corporation,Mr.
Bilger Joachim made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Eighteen million,Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars(US$18.5M) only in my branch.Upon maturity several notice was sent to him but still no response came from him.However, it was later discovered from his contract employers, the British Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. Bilger Joachim died alongside his wife, from the plane crashed in Nova Scotia which you can as well view:

This led to my bank immediately launched of an investigation into reaching a possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate.This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful because no one has been contacted as far as this management is concerned. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. If you are familiar with private banking affairs,those who patronize HSBC 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 since accounts are rarely held under a particular name because depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous.
I must let you know that HSBC bank also gives the choice to depositors of having messages sent to them
or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as such 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;Mr. Bilger Joachim died interstate.
This very large sum has since been 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, and according to the Laws of Britain, at the expiration of 7(seven) years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the British Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.I as the clearing manager alone have the deposit details and I will release the due funds to no one unless evidence of relationship with the deceased.Since I alone have the power to attest to the claim and know of the existence of this deposit. As far as HSBC
bank is concerned, the bank's management 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 forward.
This is the present situation and subsequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Bilger Joachim so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt already rich government
officials.
There is no risk whatsoever as all the paperwork,my position as a Branch Operations Manager with HSBC
bank guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested in this lucrative role, I urge you to indicate to that effect.Upon your response, if favorable, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant information that will help you get full understanding of the transaction and also the ratio which the money would be shared betwen us.
More information await you in my next respond to your email message.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Stephen Green
