I am dismayed at the untimely demise of my esteemed relative ALFRED YOUNG by means of bomb blast. This saddens me greatly. In fact, I seeking grief counseling due to the scenery of this tragedy. Something makes me quite skeptical in believing your proposal; seeing as you stand to benefit by way of 50% of Twenty four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars I wonder if you had anything to do with said bomb blast. In fact, seeing as you have a primary motive to benefit by way of the bomb blast which killed Alfred (a businessman) who was your Client along with his family, I speculate that you had such involvement in said bomb blast as to have initiated it. In light of this, in order to ascertain the trustworthiness of Elton Lee, I plan on contacting HSBC, Asia, the Hong Kong Banking Commissioner, Yahoo! Inc., and Interpol Financial Fraud division. There are also somewhat less 'official' circles that shall remain unnamed that would be interested in your involvement in the death of our esteemed relative Alfred Young (a businessman). Please provide your place of address and phone number so that such unofficial circles may contact you directly in order to express their opinion of your involvement in person physically.

Thank you for offering to split the deposit by 50%. We appreciate that you did not legally change your name to Alfred Young, Jr. in order to compromise commitment to execute this transaction with me. I look forward to receiving your full names and private contacts (ADDRESS, PHONE & FAX) so that we may proceed with the transaction in confidence.

Regards.

Subject: Your Response

Hello [name],
Thank you so much for your response to my proposal. However, your interest to assist me was rather unspecific as a result of which I am quite skeptical in believing that you could be of assistance to me, therefore I would like to be sure of your willingness, trustworthiness and commitment to execute this transaction with me, I cannot afford to compromise these virtues considering the money involved, it is necessary for me to be sure of the person to whom I will be entrusting this transaction, my trust is not given out lightly.
In 2003, made a fixed deposit of Twenty four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch, a number of notices were sent to him when it was due, but no response came from him till date. We later found out that Alfred along with his family had been killed in a bomb blast that hit their home, what bothers me most is according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 8 years the funds will revert to the Hong Kong Government if nobody comes for the funds, Against this scenery, I have all the information needed to claim these funds.
What I expect from you is trust and commitment, I want this large sum of money transferred with your assistance and you should have nothing to worry about regarding legality AT ALL. All that is required is your honest co-operation and I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect me and you from any breach of the law.
Like I proposed; that since I have exclusive access to his file, you will be made the beneficiary of these funds. You do not have to have known him. I know this might be a bit heavy for you but please trust me on this. For all your troubles I propose that we split the money in half. In the banking circle this happens every time.
Please accept my apologies, keep my confidence and disregard this email if you do not appreciate this proposal I have offered you. All confirmable documents to back up this fund shall be made available to you, as we move on; I shall let you know what is required of you. Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated. I want to know if you are willing to follow up this business seriously before I can give you more details about this transaction; however I shall be waiting for your response and assurance along with your full names and private contacts (ADDRESS, PHONE & FAX) just as they will appear on the documents to process the claims.
Please do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should act swiftly on this. Please get back to me immediately via this my private email.
Regards,
Elton Lee.
