Dear

I received your email and I want to assure you that this is a high profile business and will be very successful and has no illegal implications whatsoever as everything for the successful completion is well arranged and there is no risk involved.

I think you should have a brief knowledge about the source of the funds. Probably the history of fund origin will help you make an informed decision and know exactly how you could handle the deal should you make up your mind to be part of the process.

I would further like to introduce myself to you first before we proceed. My name is Ernest Francis Groth. I was a financial Expert & Consultant and worked with Hill House Capital Group, an Asia-based investment management firm founded by Zhang Lei in 2005 with US$20 million in seed capital from the Yale Endowment. Hill House has offices in New York, Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore. It invests globally, with a particular focus on Asia, (Hill House Capital Group) with its Subsidiaries: Care Capital Advisors, HHGL 360 Buy Holdings, Ltd.

The origin of this fund is from an “over invoice” sale of Petroleum products that amounted to $820 million USD and was moved from Hong Kong to Barclays Bank Plc Private volt for safe keeping, after which I later retired from the company and started running my own private business.

I was able to secure these funds while I was working with Hill House Capital Group as we are mainly Hedge Fund, Private Equity, Venture Capital. I am the only person aware of this funds now as my other partner who was aware died of covid-19 related complications.

Now the funds have been moved to an offshore bank in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and placed in an Escrow Account as third party beneficiary funds.

This third party is assumed to be the supplier of petroleum products to my previous company for which the invoice was raised to be paid. Now it is due for the funds to be released by the bank according to the terms of deposit, and I am ready to present you to the bank as the beneficiary of the funds.

I believe with your response to my email I can trust you and have this transaction done with you. I want to move these funds as investment funds and I require your full cooperation for the success of the deal.

I have made a breakthrough on how we can successfully move these funds to you without any International monetary agency requesting huge taxes to be paid upfront before the funds will be transferred to you.

All relevant legal documents for a backup of the funds are also available from the bank and all transactions will be done via bank to bank arrangements.

I will be expecting to hear from you and if you have any further questions, I am open to answer your questions.

Best Regards
Ernest Francis Groth

Dear

Thanks for your response to my earlier email message.

I have some funds amounting to USD820M stashed in a bank vault in the Middle East country of the United Arab Emirates, generated through Over-Invoicing during my working years in an oil and gas company, , which requires it to be transferred in the name of a third party.

I am looking for someone to work with me on the project so that we can move the funds for investment purposes as the terminal contract I have with the bank is coming to an end.

If you are willing and able to work on the deal, please reply to me as soon as possible and also include the number we can use for a chat on WhatsApp.

Thanks and Best Regards

Ernest Francis Groth
