| This one is from Jonathan 
              Mann. He is an investment banker with HSBC and has about 8 million 
              dollars that he needs to deposit to an account of a deceased client 
              who left no heirs. I think this looks like a good opportunity and 
              like Jonathan says- He is a family man so he is operating with a 
              bit of fear as he is putting to risk everything he worked for. As 
              he said "nothing ventured is nothing gained", so unless 
              you move forward with him, the great amounts of wealth will not 
              come. When you write to Jonathan, send my apologies that I couldn't 
              work with him directly but that I told you to tell him that you're 
              a trustworthy person and I have complete faith in you! If you could 
              donate $250,000 to the Carrboro/Chapel Hill Animal Shelter once 
              you collect the money, it would be appreciated. Good day,I am Jonathan Mann staff of International Private Banking at HSBC 
              Bank.I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment 
              he placed under our banks management three years ago.I would respectfully 
              request that you keep the contents of
 this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information 
              you come by as a result of this mail.I contacted you independently 
              of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. 
              I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would 
              be of interest to you.In 2001, the subject matter;came to our bank 
              to engage in business
 discussions with our private banking division.He informed us that 
              he had a financial portfolio of eight million three hundred and 
              fifty thousand united states dollars,which he wished to have us 
              turn over (invest)on his behalf.I was the officer assigned to his 
              case,I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto 
              chief operations officer of the
 private banking sector, especially given the volume of funds he 
              wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior 
              to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider various 
              growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advise 
              to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks 
              and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments. 
              Based on my advice, We spun the money around various opportunities 
              and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the 
              accrued profit and interest stood at this point at over ten million 
              United States Dollars,
 this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired 
              low risk guaranteed returns on investments.I followed his precise 
              instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited at the london 
              based security consultancy firm,Corporate Securities Co.is a specialist 
              private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals 
              and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake 
              transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and 
              highly private organization is familiar especially to the highly 
              placed and well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, 
              the money was deposited with Corporate
 Securities Co. The deceased told me he wanted the money there in 
              anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was 
              the last communication we had,this transpired around 25th June 2003.In 
              June last year, we got a call from Corporate Securities Co informing 
              us that the activity of that particular portfolio. This was an astounding 
              position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed 
              the private banking sector I was the only one
 who knew about the deposit at Corporate Securities Co, and I could 
              not understand why the deceased had not come forward to claim his 
              deposit. I made futile efforts to locate the deceased. I immediately 
              passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations
 department of HSBC. Four days later,information started to trickle 
              in, apparently our client was dead.A person who suited his description 
              was declared dead of a heart attack in Cannes, South of France.In 
              line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed 
              away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine 
              who should
 have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past 
              months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used 
              our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root 
              of the problem.It is this investigation that resulted in my being 
              furnished with your details as a possible relative of the deceased. 
              My official capacity dictates that I am
 the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party 
              to receive the results of the investigation.What this means,you 
              being the last batch of names we have considered, is that our dear 
              late fellow died with no known or identifiable family member. This 
              leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing 
              situation is in relation to the deposit and
 the late beneficiary of the deposit.I have evaluated the risks and 
              the only risk I have
 here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. 
              I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has 
              blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of 
              relevance in my life. Lets share the blessing.If you find yourself 
              able to work with me, contact me through this same email account. 
              If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards 
              a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via 
              official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. 
              I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone 
              lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email 
              account.Contact me only through the numbers I will provide for you 
              and also through this email address. I do not want any direct link 
              between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they 
              are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care 
              in line with our Total Quality Management Policy.Please observe 
              this instruction religiously. Please,again, note I am a family man, 
              I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure 
              of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing 
              ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come 
              easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learnt 
              from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence.If 
              we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting soon.
 I await your response.
