BARCLAYS BANK PLC,
LONDON, EC1N 8DN,
UNITED KINGDOM.

It is my pleasure to contact you after satisfactory appraisal and acceptance of your proven track records. I am Graham Hurford, Director; Head of Portfolio Management, Barclays Bank Plc, London, United Kingdom.

Following an opportunity in my office, I have a proposition I want to share with you, that will be of immense benefit to both of us. Herewith are the details of this proposition:

On May 6th 2005, an estate developer and one of the richest woman in Hong Kong, Late Mrs. Nina Wang, deposited ?18,000,000GBP (Eighteen Million British Pounds Sterling) under our portfolio management department for a period of Two (2) years, and the deposit matured on the 13th of June 2007 with much significant growth which amounted to a total of ?26,400,000GBP (Twenty Six Million, Four Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling).

Prior to the maturity of the said deposit, we got some news that Mrs. Nina Wang died of cancer in April 3rd 2007 and upon maturity, a routine notification was sent to her forwarding address but without responses. After a month, another reminder was sent from my desk and I discovered that the fund was deposited by her without informing anyone of her immediate family as this is peculiar to high profiled individuals. No next of kin was declared in her official papers including the paper work of her bank deposit and she also confided in me the last time she was at my office that no one except me knew of her deposit in my bank.

This sum of ?26,400,000GBP (Twenty Six Million, Four Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling) is still in my possession in my bank lifeless and unnoticed because there will never be a claim on the funds. All material, immaterial documents and certificates relating to the funds is also in my possession. We cannot release the funds unless somebody applies as the next of kin or relation to the deceased and to this end; we have secured from the probate registry an order of mandamus to locate any relative of Late Mrs. Nina Wang.

Against this backdrop, I am proposing to you to stand in as the next of kin to Late Mrs. Nina Wang. Our banking policy here stipulates that at the expiration of five (5) years such funds will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds. The money will be approved into your account and subsequently, we shall share in the ratio: 60% for us and 40% for you as gratification for assistance rendered. I will visit your country for the disbursement, according to the percentages indicated once this money gets into your account.

Please note that all our correspondences and communications will be strictly via email for now, as my official telephone lines are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our quality management policy. Do not contact me through my official phone numbers nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Please observe these instructions religiously.

Let me crave your indulgence in portraying sincerity towards this matter, as trust stands to be our watchword in this transaction. Our assurance is that your role is risk free to accord this transaction the legality it deserves as with all modalities in place we are certain in actualizing a hitch free transfer of the funds without any complications. My position in my bank already guarantees the successful execution of this project.

We will discuss much in details when I do receive your response. In the meantime, kindly signify your willingness to assist by sending me a message via my personal email: grahamhurford@gala.net for further procedures relating to this transaction. If for some reasons you find no interest in this project I want you to disregard this message and forget I ever contacted you.
