My name is Mr. Simon Gibbs I currently work as a ‎Head of Digital Programme Development,HSBC I am sorry to have encroached into your privacy in this manner, however, without delays; I will immediately proceed with the details of the proposal as said in my introductory Email ON Facebook.

I would 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 thus the reason why I had us communicate strictly via our private email and also had to disguise my profile on Facebook

Sometime in 2009, a certain Engineer/contractor (DECEASED DEPOSITOR) made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, currently valued at the sum of £5,732,000.00 (Five Million Seven Hundred and Thirty Two Great British Pounds Sterling) in my bank. Upon maturity, routine notifications were sent to his forwarding address but no reply was received. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, that (DECEASED DEPOSITOR) alongside his long time companion was involved in an air-plane crash.

My bank has waited for an application of his Next Of Kin or Relative for the release of the sum but this has been unfruitful till date. This sum has since been sitting in my bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one has been able to come forward for it. According to the Laws of my environment, at the expiration of a certain amount of time which is around the corner, the money will be confiscated by the ASIA Government on the basis of no one applying for the claim of the funds. I hereby use this medium to inform you that the time has almost elapsed and as such, if this money isn't claimed as a result of our partnership, the money will be confiscated by the Government.

The world of banking is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. I secretly have the deposit details as well as the knowledge of the existence of this deposit which came up as a result of the execution of my duty. The bank is awaiting instructions to release the deposit to the party that comes forward as the next of kin, thus the reason why i am contacting you bearing the same last name as the Deceased.

Consequently, my proposal is that, since the DECEASED did not put a next of kin in his file before his demise,I will like you to stand in as the next of kin to (DECEASED ) so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. Acting in this capacity is really simple, as I will guide you through. Being aware of this request I am making, I ask that if you find no interest in this project, PLEASE discard this mail.

ATTENTION

Once again, I am happy to hear from you, which then indicates that if you are willing and prepared to proceed with me in this deal on the basis of you complying with my instructions, then we would have no problem in making claim of the funds as soon as possible since the whole process is going to be swift. If we are to succeed with this transaction, you must strictly adhere to the instructions which i will be giving to you. I am prsently based here in United Kigdom and also work with HSBC London Branch.

It will be your duty to act as the Next of Kin to (THE DECEASED), which then puts me in the position of supplying you with all the relevant information's/backings, taking into consideration the fact that i will be working as the insider whom happens to be a senior staff of the bank which will further enable me have access to all relevant information's that will be needed by the bank’s management in accordance with the inheritance claim laws.

Once i hear from you notifying me of your interest and willingness to proceed with this deal adhering to the rule of confidentiality between us as regarding this deal, i will send you a format/application letter with which you will use in contacting the bank. Also be informed that the bank might ask you to answer some security questions just to confirm or verify if you are the true Next of Kin/Relative to (THE DECEASED). Like earlier stated, you have nothing to worry about since i will definitely have all the answers provided as soon as you make them known to me thus permitting the bank to demand for some legal papers backing your claim as the next of kin. The transaction is not a hitch free transaction as i will like to tell you from the unset.

In securing the legal documents, you are going to have to contact a good lawyer to help prepare the documents but if that would take your time and i can refer you to a good and reputable lawyer in my country who is affiliated to the bank that can have the requested documents prepared for you.

In view of the above, note that the documents and the answers to the questions that the bank will ask will enable them acknowledge you as the Next of Kin to (THE DECEASED) thereby enabling the immediate release of the monies to you as agreed by law.

For Security reasons i would want us to have/keep our communication/dealings kept strictly via this means in order to prevent any chance of information leakage until the bank has acknowledged you as the next of kin.

I must state here that my instinct directed to me to contact you and as such I do hope that you will not let me down as this transaction will be of immense benefits to both of us. Please do let me know if you are ready to continue with the deal or not as this deal will only take a few days to conclude if you strictly adhere to my instructions. Do have a nice day as I await your prompt response.

Re: ATTENTION,

I am writing sequel to the email i received from you end as i deem it to clarify you as follows:

This information about the deceased was discussed in a board meeting and after the conclusion, i immediately alerted an insider in the bank who gave me a comprehensive detailed information about the deceased.

So much was expended from my end to have all that as he told me if i can get someone to pose as the next of kin to the deceased, the funds will be transferred by the bank to the above person as the deceased did not put a next of kin in his file before his demise. The deceased did not put a next of kin in the file and at thus, you bear the same surname as the Deceased, so that is where we had the edge for you to come in as the Next Of Kin to the deceased. All we pray is that the bank acknowledge you as the next of kin and as soon as that is done, all required documents needed by your Government will be forwarded to them before the bank commences with the transfer.

After much paper work, i decided to go on a ghost chase on the internet to look for someone who can pose as the next of kin to the deceased and i actually came across 5 people in which 3 of them said they were not interested but two people complied which is you and a woman from Greece. I prayed and tought about this and my instinct told me to deal directly with you. sending to you a copy of either my work identification card or international passport is not a problem, but i should know your interest in this and be mindful if my information doesn't get into the wrong hands.

If my bank gets to know that i gave out such classified information, i might be forced to resign and face some charges which might lead to the end of my carrier. I do hope you understand my plights? As soon as i get a response from your end, i will then brief you on the next step and procedures to undertake till you finally establish contact with my bank. Thanks once again for taking out time to partner with me in this as i hope we do conclude this within the shortest possible time. As soon as i get a response from your end, i will then proceed with what you have requested and also get to know you better.

I do look forward to your email with immediate alacrity
