Subject: Legitimate proposal!!!
Dear Partner/Friend,
Hello Top of the day to you. I hope this meets you in good fate.Introducing myself, I hold a top managerial position with Liu Chong Hing Bank Limited, Hong Kong.I am contacting you concerning an investment that was placed under our bank's management for a period of 12 months in 2001. A client of my bank by the name , Mr. Faye Sayeed McGraw made a Fixed Deposit for this period in my branch. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After some months, we sent a reminder only to be informed of his death. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin have been fruitless as Mr. Faye Sayeed McGraw did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit for paper work in my Bank. If you are interested then a bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then be used to 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 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by an attorney and my position as a top official guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through my email below as according to the banking laws of Hong Kong,if nobody comes forward to claim the funds after Five(5) Years,the money will be reverted back to the Government . If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion.Please send me your confidential telephone numbers for easy communication. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us.
contact me via email address: lo_yin33@yahoo.com
Best regards
Mr. Yin Suen Lo.
New World Tower 2 16-18 Queen's Road Central,
Hong Kong
