Description

I will formally introduce myself to you. My name is Mr. Andrew Wild, and I am the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of HSBC Continental Europe. I am sorry to have encroached into your privacy in this manner; however, without delay, I will immediately proceed with the details of the proposal as stated in my introductory email to you. I respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and also respect the integrity of the information that you are coming across as a result of this mail. I contacted you privately, and as such, no one is aware of this communication, which is the reason why I had us communicate strictly via our private email. I am the personal accountant of one (the late Mr. Fabian Konde), a foreign contractor with Royal Dutch who has an investment account with my bank. Unfortunately, my client died along with his nuclear family in France while on sabbatical in the summer of 2011. May their souls rest in peace. He died without leaving Will. Several efforts were made to find his extended family through his embassy, but without success. I received a notice last week to provide the next of kin of my late client, being his personal accountant, or the account risk being transferred to the government (escheat) in 14 days’ time. I am contacting you to assist me in repatriating the funds left behind by my late client. This claim will be executed without breaching any laws, and success is guaranteed if we cooperate on it. The bank will release the account to you because of my recommendation of you as the next of kin. I am a religious man, and I cannot lie; I expect the same from you. The amount involved is €9,400,000.00 EUR (nine million four hundred thousand euros); I propose we share the proceeds 50/50. I think this is fair. I will give you all the necessary information about this deal when I get your response. I am contacting you to assist me because you have the same surname/last name as my late client. I anticipate your cooperation. Treat this proposal with utmost confidentiality and urgency for 100% success. My position as the CEO and member of the Executive Board of HSBC Bank guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you find yourself able to work with me, I urge you to indicate that effect. Once again, do observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction will be profitable for both of us. For more information about me, Please note that a quick response from you will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance for considering this proposal. I await your urgent response to enable me to furnish you with more information about this opportunity. Sincerely, Andrew Wild. Chief Executive Officer, HSBC Continental Europe. * Please consider the environment before printing any email correspondence.
