Thanks for responding to my request. Once again I am Mrs. Chunhua Lee, a staff of the Bank of China (Hong Kong) attached to Private Banking Service. Please kindly accept my apology for the manner I contacted you without your consent. It was necessitated because of the urgency and the nature of the deal I wish to relate with you. I contacted you in regards to an Investment placed under our Bank's management.

It was roughly 5 years ago at the beginning of 2015, the subject matter came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services Department. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of $20 Million United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf based on his instructions. I was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the De-facto chief operation officer of the Private Banking Services Department, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions and based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit with interest included, stood at this point at over US$27, 712,068.00, this the margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments and in the trading market the lower the risk the lesser the profit and towards the end of 2015 he asked that the money is liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Europe.

He directed that I liquidate the funds and have it transferred to a firm in Europe. I informed him that our bank would have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make 8.9% 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 borders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11 but nevertheless, I contacted the firm in Europe and had the funds transfer to mainland Europe, I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions. He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had.

After a few weeks, I got a call from the security firm informing us of the inactivity 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, and I could not understand why he had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate him; I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of our bank. Four months later, information trickle in from British homeland security, that he was apparently dead, a person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Norway; we were soon able to gather more information and the cause of death was confirmed. With this information at hand, I inform the security firm to return the transfer back to our bank in Hong Kong and it was done.

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 the right to claim the estate, this investigation for several months was futile. 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 decision to obtain your contact details and contact you, being a foreigner, as a potential benefactor of the estate even if you are in no way affiliated with this individual (the deceased).

With my position and experience, I am prepared to place you in a position whereby an instruction is given to officially release the deposit to you as the closest surviving associate and all etiquette shall be done in accordance with the rule of banking laws and regulations. I certainly can guarantee you that, by the common law, the power of bequeathing is coeval with the first rudiments of the law and this power has been extended to all. I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you; afterwards, we share the proceeds in two equal parts (50/50).

I am aware of the consequences of this proposal and 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 or destructive if my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you; please do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. If you find yourself interested in working with me, please do respond to my email positively, and then I will initiate this process towards a quick conclusion. Contact me only through this email. 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.

I shall await your decision.

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs. Chunhua Lee
