Good Day,

I know this is an unconventional way of introducing a big and profitable
business deal, but I however want you to take your time to read my letter
carefully, you will understand the necessity for my action. I got your email
address from the Ministry of Commerce Directory

I am Hall Trevor, staff of International Private Banking at HSBC BANK
London. I
am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed
under our banks management three years ago. I would respectfully request that
you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the
integrity of the
information you come by as a result of this mail.

I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of
this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I
believe would be of interest to you. In 2001, the subject matter came to our
bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He
informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Twenty Two Million United
States Dollars ($22,000,000.00 USD),which he wished to have us turn
over(invest)
on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case; I was made numerous
suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of
the private banking sector, especially given the volume of funds he wished to
put into our bank.We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being
placed. I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings.
The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on
6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative
investments.Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities
and made attractive margins for our first months of operation,the
accrued profit
and interest stood at this point at over ten million United States
Dollars, this
margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk
guaranteed
returns on investments.

In mid 2002, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed
to make an
urgent investment requiring cash payments in here in the United Kingdom.He
directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security
firm here in
London. I informed him that HSBC Plc would have to make special
arrangements to
have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have
to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory
charges. He complained about the charges but later came around when I
explained
to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cash movement across
boarders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted
my affiliate in here in London and made the funds available to the security
firm. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise
instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited at the London based
security consultancy firm, Corporate Securities Co. Corporate
Securities Co is a
specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals
and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake
transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly private
organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected
organizations. In line with Instructions, the money was deposited with
Corporate
Securities Co. The deceased told me he wanted the money; there in anticipation
of his arrival from Norway later that week.This was the last communication we
had, this transpired around 25th June 2003. In June last year, we got a call
from Corporate Securities Co informing us that the activity of that particular
portfolio. This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned,
given the
fact that I managed the private banking sector I was the only one who
knew about
the deposit at Corporate Securities Co, and I could not understand why the
deceased had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to
locate the deceased. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the
internal investigations department of NRS Plc. Four days later, information
started to trickle in, apparently our client was dead. A person who suited his
description was declared dead of a heart attack in Cannes, South of France.

We were soon enough able to identify the body and cause of death was
confirmed.
The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of
kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate.
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. 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, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use
numbers and
codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to
depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank
itself,ensuring
that there are no traces of the account and as I said, 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; the deceased died
without a testament .In line with our internal processes for account
holders who
have passed away, we instituted our own Investigations in good faith to
determine who should have right to claim the estate. This
investigation has for
the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our
private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the
problem. It
is this investigation that resulted in my being furnished with your
details as a
possible relative of the deceased. My official capacity dictates that I am the
only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the
results of the investigation. What this means, you being the last
batch of names
we have considered, is that our dear late fellow died with no known or
identifiable family member. This leaves me as the only person with the full
picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the
late beneficiary of the deposit.According to practice, Corporate Securities Co
will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of
claim to HSBC Plc ,failing to receive viable claims they will most probably
revert the deposit back to HSBC Plc. This will result in the money
entering the
HSBC Plc accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands
and out of
the private banking division. This will not happen if I have my way.
What I wish
to relate t o you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to
understand
something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal
politics of the banking world aberrational.

The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those
who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You should
have begun
by now to put together the general direction of what I propose. I
alone have the
deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct
them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as
far as HSBC
Plc is concerned, the transaction with our late customer concluded when I sent
the funds to corporate securities, all outstanding interactions in relation to
the file are just customer services and due process. Corporate
Securities Co has
no single idea of what 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 situation.This bank has spent great amounts of money
trying to track
this mans family; they have investigated for months and have found no family.
The investigation has come to an end. My proposal; you share similar
details to
the late fellow; I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct
Corporate
Securities Co to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation.
Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you
in half.
That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them
release the
deposit to you.We share the proceeds 50/50.I would have gone ahead to ask the
funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to
me and my
involvement in claiming the deposit.I assure you that I could have the deposit
released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final
closing of the file relating to the deceased I will then officially
communicate
with Corporate Securities Co and instruct them to release the deposit to you.
With these two things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have
Corporate Sec unities Co direct the funds to another bank with you as account
holder.

This way there will be no need for you to think of receiving the money from
Corporate Securities Co. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions. I am
aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest
in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be
vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you,delete this
message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career
because you do
not approve of my proposal.

You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of
comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a
criminal
and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you
to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move.
Such opportunities only come ones' way once in a lifetime.I cannot let this
chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my
destiny. These
chances won?t pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will
not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do
not destroy
me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new
opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth
undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from
you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows
of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has
planted you
into the center of relevance in my life. Let share the blessing. If you find
yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same email account. If
you give me positive signals,I will initiate this process towards a
conclusion.
I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will
deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want you
contacting
me through my official phone lines nor do I wouldn't?t you contacting
me through
my official email account.Contact me only through the numbers I will
provide for
you and also through this email address. I do not want any direct link between
you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically
monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality
Management Policy.

Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family
man, I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of
fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing
ventured is
nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of
gold. This is the one truth I have learn t from my private banking clients. Do
not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a
meeting,
soon.Thank you so much for your time.

I look forward to hearing from you soonest.

I await your response.

Hall Trevor.
