Sir,
It gives me a great deal of pleasure to write you this mail even when it might come to you as a surprise. I hope you find it of interest.
My name is Shaw Johnson Flint. I am the auditor general, HSBC bank Plc, Douglas, British Isles, United Kingdom. I am contacting you in a non-official capacity and therefore require your utmost confidentiality. During the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund £5,700,000.00 (Five Million, Seven Hundred Thousand Pounds) in an account opened with the bank on March 15th 2000 and since November 2001 nobody has operated on this account again.
After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that the owner of the account died without an [heir], hence the money has been floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited. The owner of this account was Mr. Edward Braun, a Dutch and a consultant/contractor with Horwath Clark Whitehill, a leading firm of project and cost management consultants.
On further investigation, I discovered that the owner of the account died from air disaster on November 12th, 2001 on board American Airlines Flight #: 587 AC Type: Airbus A-300-605R Registration: N14053 at Belle Harbor, Queens, New York. It was discovered that he died without making a will (en-state) and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.
It was also discovered that late Mr. Edward Braun did not declare any next of kin or relations on all his official documents, including his bank Deposit paper work here at the bank. The total sum, £5,700,000.00 is still 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.
We will start the first transfer with £2,700,000.00 (Two Million Seven Hundred Thousand Pounds). Upon successful transfer without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the transfer of the balance £ 3,000,000.00 (Three Million Pounds into your bank account bringing the sum total to £5,700,000.00 (Five Million, Seven Hundred Thousand Pounds). I am contacting you as a foreigner because this money can only be approved to a foreigner with a valid international passport/ driver’s license and foreign account.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of kin so that you and I can benefit from this investment equally (i.e. 50% for you and 50% for me). I shall send you either by fax or email a scanned copy of the HSBC Bank beneficiary’s claims application form as well as detailed information on how this deal would be transacted.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law, as I will use my position to secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. To commence this transaction, you would have to indicate your interest by a return mail to my above Email address with your private telephone number for voice contact and fax number so that I can provide you with details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction better.
Regards,
Shaw Johnson Flint
