Dear Friend,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal
ethics. I will introduce myself as Mr McCallum Graeme, INSTITUTIONAL FUND

On resumption of duties after the Christmas and New year celebration i
discovered that one of my bank customer, Mr. JOSHUA WANG ,an Indonesia by
birth , a consultant/contractor with the military relief Group, a charity
organization at the United Nation(UN), was one of the victims of the TSUNAMI
disaster in the Asia World, he has being a private resident here in London
for 3 years, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at
£6,500,000.00(Six Million, Five Hundred Thousand Great British Pounds
Sterling) for twelve calendar months in my Branch.
As representative with contacts in the Middle east /Africa,upon the tsunami
disaster in his home country of Indonesia, in which he was on a private
visit to see his sick old parents, i have made personal contacts to his
resident here in London and through some foreign mission in Indonesia, and
has discovered that he and his entire family perished in the said natural
disaster in his local community in Indonesia. On further investigation, it
also discovered that he died without making a WILL (En-state) and all
attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless, it was discovered in the
Late Mr. JOSHUA WANG bank papers that the only persons stated as his
entitled next of kin is his only wife, who also died with him in the
disaster, so presently their is no persons to declare as the next of kin to
the said fund and as it stand now , No person will ever come forward to
claim it. As the bank papers/documents have only his late wife name, since
they have no child before their sudden death.
In accordance with the Banking Federal Laws and constitution, the money will
revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies as the next of
Kin to claim the funds within certain period.Consequently, I shall present
you as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of kin to late Mr.JOSHUA
WANG so that you and I can benefit from the fruits of this old man's labor
and also donate certain portion of the fund to all victims of the Tsunami
disasters through humanitarian Organization.
Be informed that i have in my capacity/position carefully moved this fund
into the Vault of a Security and Finance Company here in London that have
Branches all over Europe/America where this fund can be claim. Upon
acceptance of this proposal, We shall employ the services of a solicitor for
the drafting of the LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Mr.Joshua Wang and to
obtain all other relevant papers in your name for the necessary
documentation for payment approval in my bank headquarters in your favor.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law as I will use my position as the
senior Bank's personnel in the Institutional fund services, Middle East and
Africa, HSBC BANK PLC, to secure approvals and guarantee the successful
execution of this transaction.
