Hello,
That is very interesting! Could you elaborate? Do you have any details online I could look at?

Dear Michael King
Thank you for getting back to me on my email address: [email protected]
I am Anthony Belasco, Financial Manager for HSBC Private banking. I am getting in touch with you regarding the estate of a deceased client with the same last name as yours and an investment placed under our banks management. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this email confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this email. I contact you independently and no one is informed of this communication.
In 2008, the subject matter, Mr. Felix King came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of €18,450,000.00, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. 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 €10 million. In mid-2012, he instructed that the principal sum be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Madrid, Spain. We got in touch with a specialist firm in Madrid who agreed to receive this money for a fee and make cash available to Felix. However the Spanish firm got in touch with us last year that this money has not been claimed. On further inquiries we found out that Felix was found dead in Antwerp, Belgium, which means he died intestate. He has no next of kin and the reason I am writing you is because you have the same surname.
What I propose is that since I have exclusive access to his file, you will be made the beneficiary of these funds. I am prepared to instruct the security firm 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 equally. You do not have to have known Felix for us to get the funds out, if you follow my instructions I can guarantee success. I know this might be a lot to take in but please trust me on this. I propose that we split the money equally, in the banking circle this happens every time. The other option is that the money will revert back to the state. Nobody is getting hurt; this is a lifetime opportunity for us. I hold the KEY to these funds, and as a banker we see so much cash and funds being re-assigned daily. I want you to keep this communication strictly to yourself.
Please, again, note I am a family man; I have a wife and children. I send you this email not without a measure of fear as to 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 learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should act swiftly on this. Please get back to me immediately via email or give me a phone call on my numbers stated below
I await your response.
Hello,

Hello Michelle King.
I am so glad you are interested in this business proposal which can change our life for good, before I can send you any further information, I want to be very sure I am dealing with the rightful person and so therefore it is very important you send a valid copy of your identification to me via email attachment.
Like I earlier stated, My late client did not state any next of kin before he died intestate in Belgium and i am in a position to present his next of kin to my bank since it was approved by my bank that a consultancy firm be contracted and they gave us a list of possible relatives and your name and address was on the list. I made a random choice of selecting you as my partner, and my instinct told me i had made right choice.
As soon as I am sure I am dealing with the rightful person, I will send you all information regarding this inheritance and also give you a call.
Hello,
can you give me an example of this? I would like to know roughly what it looks like.
