Thanks for your prompt response to my mail. I trust that you are well and staying safe with the recent global Covid-19 pandemic.

Please I would like you to take your time, read the proposal below and let me know of your decision. I am Thomas Watson and I am an estate administrator with HSBC UK. It simply concerns administration of "deceased estate "of Late Alfred J.", a client that had passed on intestate", which is about to revert to the state by escheat. As much as this might sound weird and unbelievable, I will be very brief and actual so I honestly urge you to take your time to read this message for your understanding as this is very important to help you decipher my information on your own. You have got a right to freedom of opinion and choice which I actually "unconditionally" respect in every human being. Due to the special circumstance I have contacted you being a total stranger to me, and I hope that I can trust you to hold the communication between us in the highest confidence. I reached you because I need to work with you on grounds that you happen to coincidentally share the same surname with the deceased.

This institution, after his passing, via a few heir-hunting firms, had struggled over many years past with no success to connect with a possible beneficiary and recently have resorted to allowing the estate to revert to the state by 'escheat'. As is the practice in the UK, when someone dies with no will or known family or beneficiary, their estate passes to the Crown as ownerless estate (or 'bona vacantia'). As is the customary practice with this institution, you may be entitled to a deceased estate if you're a relative firstly as much as you may also be entitled to a deceased estate if you have vital secure details that will pass you as the legitimate beneficiary. Most importantly, accounts reconciliations and assets value, all of which were recently done in preparedness to submit estate to the state, will simply work for you by way of availing you the rare privilege of processing claim within the shortest possible time as it is. This is because it is at the final stage. The institution's policy does not allow room for me as the deceased's private banker to participate in a heir-hunting process for a client who died intestate or have a say with regard to suggesting or confirming to them who the right beneficiary is or might be, to avoid collusion of any sort and I am sure you would agree with that.

I humbly want to seek your consent to file for claim against the estate rather than for it to revert to government's ownership. I can put my neck on the block as well as my job on the line on this to guarantee that it will absolutely be hitch-free. If you are inclined to work with me, I will provide you with every and all information as would be needed of you. And as the deceased's private banker, I have got every and all information needed to legitimately give you a very good standing indeed as the legitimate beneficiary. So if you agree to work with me, I shall provide you with the necessary information about the deceased that you need to know, to cement your legitimacy. This will be executed under legitimate arrangements by a legal representative(s) that will deal with HSBC as well as the UK authorities on your behalf to avoid any breach of the law or irregularity of any sort as of course that will not happen hence my involvement in this. Suffice it to say, if I can put my job on the line, for an institution I have worked for, for years, as an estate administrator, to pull this through, then it is probably safe to engage with me and that is only if you will as any position would be respected and accepted in good faith.

I am aware that it is very unlikely for you to be related to the deceased, but regardless, I would want you to approach my reaching you as purely a business proposal, that was inevitable because of the same surname you share with the deceased and once the estate gets transferred to you which is guaranteed, I am prepared to share proceeds with you on terms to be mutually agreed upon and in all fairness, I propose a 50/50 ratio.

I know these details are too much for you to take in at once but I believe as we make progress with this venture you will get to understand better. We need to correspond further on this project so I can expatiate on the key points and also answer any possible questions you might have regarding execution of this transaction. Please do not hesitate to contact me anytime you have any question to ask or have idea to share or advice.

I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible if you are inclined to work with me on this obviously hitch free engagement. Do accept my sincere apologies if I may have acted contrary to your personal or ethical principles as I am principled myself.

Once more, please stay safe.

Sincerely,

Thomas Watson.

How are you? I trust you are well in these times. My sincere apologies for the long silence.

Was offline and off work following some health concerns over a very prolonged period of time but am very well and OK now.

May I know if you are still there and available to conclude the pending engagement?

With very best regards.

Thomas
