Hello
Thanks for your swift response. My name is Mr. Mark Yunfeng Wang, and I'm the Chief Executive Officer at (HSBC) Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, China. I apologize if I have inadvertently invaded your privacy in this way. I will get right to the proposal's details as per my email introduction.
Please respect the integrity of the information you are learning from this email and keep its contents private. I contacted you privately, and as such, no one knows about this communication, so I had us communicate via private email.
I served as the personal accountant for the late Mr. Andrew Paulson, who was an engineer in China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) and had an investment account with my bank (HSBC) in China. Unfortunately, my client lost his life in a fatal accident in France while on sabbatical in 2011. To the best of my knowledge, he was never married nor had children and he died without leaving a (will) because it was an unforeseen occurrence. Several unsuccessful attempts were made through his embassy to locate his extended family.
I received a notice last week to provide the next of kin of my late client, being his accountant, or the account risk being transferred to the government (escheat) in 14 days. I am contacting you to assist me in repatriating the funds left behind by my late client since you both share the same surnames, and that's the deal.
However, this claim will be executed without breaching Chinese laws, and success is guaranteed if we cooperate. The bank will release the account because I recommended you as the next of kin.
I am a man of integrity, and I cannot lie, I expect the same from you. The amount involved is ¥193,578,700 (One hundred Ninety-Three Million Five Hundred Seventy-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Chinese Yuan), which is equivalent to ( €24,822,661.73). I propose we share the proceeds 50/50, I think this is fair.
I will give you all the necessary information about this deal when I get your response. I am contacting you to assist me because you have the same surname or last name as my late client. I anticipate your cooperation. Treat this proposal with utmost confidentiality and urgency for 100% success. Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed on you.
My position as Chief Executive Officer at HSBC Bank guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you find yourself able to work with me, I urge you to indicate to that effect. Once again, do observe the utmost confidentiality and rest assured that this transaction will be profitable for us.
Please note that a quick response from you will be highly appreciated. Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you.
