Name:Brown Walter
Email:b.walter234@yahoo.co.uk

Good day,

I am Brown Walter, staff of International Private Banking at HSBC Bank. I am
contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed under our
banks management few 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 Forty Eight Million Three Hundred And Fifty Thousand United
States Dollars ($48,350,000.00 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
advise 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 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 th e 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.
Corporat
e 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 2002. 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 HSBC.
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 wit
h 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, failing to receive viable
claims they will most probably revert the deposit back to HSBC. This will result in
the money entering the HSBC 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 to 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 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 Securities Co direct the funds to another bank
with you as accou!
nt 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 wont
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 wouldnt 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 learnt 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.

Brown Walter.
