  3. got this today....Dear Friend,

    I want you to be patient and read through the content of this mail to understand how we intend making you
    the sole beneficiary of the entire funds without complication and hitch free process.

    I am Mr. W S H Laidlaw, Chief Executive Officer of Centrica plc, Director HSBC and A member of the
    Remuneration Committee.

    A late client in our bank who was an investor made a numbered Fixed deposit for 48 calendar months,
    with a value of $224,500,000.00 USD (Two Hundred and Twenty Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand
    United State Dollars Only) in my bank HSBC Bank USA.

    Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin
    to my client so that you will be able to receive his funds. I have transferred the entire funds (Two Hundred
    and Twenty Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars Only) to an affiliate online bank
    before my Government would take custody of the funds due to no beneficiary and no one will ever come
    forward to claim it.

    in your name. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your
    behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for onward custody of the
    funds by you from the online bank.

    There is no risk involved in the matter as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will
    prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters
    concerning this issue. The funds is currently in custody of the online bank awaiting claim I would provide
    you the necessary paper works to forward to the online bank as confirmation that you are taking custody
    of the transferred funds and once the entire funds have been transferred to your home bank account from
    the online bank we shall share in the ratio of 50% each as Partners in this deal which I plan on investing
    my share of the funds in your country as co-partner with you.

    would be required:
