Dear Friend,


Good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my
life. I would respectfully request that you keep the content of this mail confidential because of
its nature and respect the integrity of this information. First of all I'll like to introduce
myself and status, I am Thomas Williams, Staff of International Private Banking at HSBC Bank
London. I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and a financial portfolio of $8.5m
United state dollars, which he placed under HSBC Bank managements two years ago for turn over on
his behalf.

As the Chief Operations Officer of the private banking sector, I encouraged the deceased on his
arrival to our bank on various growth of fund with prime ratings.The favored route in my advice to
him was accessing data's on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managements.Based on my advise,
attractive margins,acquired profit and interest stood at over $10m United state dollars,this
margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on
investment. Early 2004 my client asked that the money be liquidated because of an urgent
investment requiring cash payments here in United Kingdom, and that the liquidated fund be
deposited in CORPORATE SECURITIES CO, a security consulting firm based in London who are
specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip
corporations that handle valuable products and undertake transactions that need immediate access
to cash. This order was given to me in anticipation of his a rival from Norway later that week,
this was the last communication we had. Sometimes this year I got a call from CORPORATE SECURITIES
CO. informing me of the inactivity of the portfolio, since I was the only one who knew about the
deposit, I immediately passed the task of locating my client to the Internal Investigation
Department of HSBC, which now revealed that the person who suited his description was declared
dead of a Heart attack in Cane, South of France. And in line with banking internal processes for
account holders who have passed away, an investigation was meant to be launched to contact a
possible surviving NEXT OF KIN to come forward as beneficiary of the fund but unfortunately when
my client came patronizing our services, in his bio-data form, no next of kin was listed neither
was there a TESTATE. My client only used numbers and codes to make the account he opened with us
anonymous. At this juncture, I'll like to unravel the true position of this transaction, CORPORATE
SECURITIES CO,has request for statements of claim from me, and I alone knows of the existence of
the deposit, for as far as HSBC Bank is concerned the transaction with our late client concluded
when I sent the fund to the security firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file
are just customer service and due process. The security firm has no single idea of what the
history or nature of the deposit is, they await instructions to release the deposit to any party
that I nominate as the beneficiary of the fund. I am prepared to place you in a position to
instruct Corporate Securities Co. to release the deposit to you as the NEXT OF KIN. Kindly let me
know your true interest in this pending transaction so as to ascertain the proceeds, and I assure
you that I could have the deposit released to you within few days. I implore you to discard this
mail if you find no interest in this transaction, and if my offer is of no appeal to you, please
dint be vindictive and destructive just delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.


Finally, I am sending you this mail without a measure of fear as to what the consequences are, but
I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never comes
in a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not
betray my confidence, if we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting soon.


I await your response.

Thomas Williams.

We call those next of kin/inheritance scams, basically, someone has died and the scammer wants you to be the beneficiary of the millions left by the deceased, of course, there will be many fees that need paying before you are to get your hands on the millions of dollars that don't exist.

Remember, if it seems to good to be true, then it is.
