From Mr. Hou Weidong

Bank of Communications Hong Kong

Dear Friend,

I am Mr. Hou Weidong, Chief information officer, Bank of Communications. I received your response to my brief message, and I wish to apologize for any inconveniences. I am getting in touch with you regarding the estate of a deceased client with similar last name as yours and an investment placed under our banks management 11 years ago.

I am sure you are wonder where I got your contact details, a search on the yellow page with your last name gave some results and I selected you from the lot.

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 contact you independently and no one is informed of this communication. In 2005, the subject matter, Mr. Mark Killam made a deposit of Forty Five Million, Two Hundred and Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($45,275,000.00) only in my branch, a number of notices were sent to him two years later for not operating the account and we later discovered that Mr. Mark Killam had died in a plane crash.

The good thing is that late Mark Killam did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. What bothers me most is according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 11 years the funds will be revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody comes for the funds, Against this scenery, I have all the information needed to claim these funds and I want you to act as the next of kin to the deposit since you have the same last name as his. There is no risk involved in this matter as I hold the key to the funds and we are going to adopt a legitimate method as I will have all paper works to make you the next of kin to the funds when you provide your correct details. I want you to know that you will be entitled to 40% of the entire funds while I get 60% as the originator of the deal. Get back to me for more information.

Please provide me the following details below at once so that I can arrange the necessary paper works in your names and send you copies.

1. Your Full names and address:

2. Telephone Number:

3. Age:

4. Sex:

5. Occupation:
