Mr. Ming Mui Vice President & Branch Manager Bank of East Asia U.S.A (NA) Canal Street Main Branch G/F, 202 Canal Street, New York, NY 10013, USA Dear Friend, Internet would not have been the best way to reach you but since this letter is highly confidential and the Internet seems to be the most secured and fastest way of communication, I decided to reach you by this means. I am Mr. Ming Mui, Manager and Vice President of The Bank of East Asia, Canal Street Main Branch, New York, United State of America. Kindly note that this message is un-official and personal and as such should be kept highly confidential so I plead with you to kindly keep it as such. I am contacting you base on a recent meeting held by the management of my bank which an account of Late WILLIAM AUCOIN (Deceased)who died Monday, June 28, 2010 of prostate cancer at the Aventura Hospital and Medical Center in Aventura, Florida was declared dormant and should be confiscated and the fund sent to the bank treasury. Late WILLIAM AUCOIN was an account holder in my bank and I was his account officer. Since his death, the management of my bank has made series of efforts to locate any of his family members but all efforts were unsuccessful. Late WILLIAM AUCOIN as a matter of fact used his wife as the Next of Kin to this account but unfortunately, his wife died years back leaving him with no beneficiary to this account. This is what has really made me sad because if the wife was alive, she would have easily claimed the fund long ago and this is why I am contacting and where I want you to come in. My bank in a short while would declare the account dormant, confiscated and the fund would be sent to the bank treasury which means the fund would be taken by the bank. I will not let such happen because this fund was kept under my care as the account officer to the late depositor. I will never forgive myself if I allow the bank confiscate this fund because he told me before he died that in case he dies, I should doe very thing in my power to donate part of the fund to the less privileged and part of it given to any one I chose to be the beneficiary to this account and the remaining part should be taken by me. I want you to come in as the Next of Kin/Beneficiary to this account. I have all the titled documents to back your claim and as the Vice President and Manager of this branch, it is in my power to carry out any form of verification on the beneficiary of the said account, process the fund and wire without any problem. I want you to know that this is legal and 100% risk free as all the titled documents would be changed to your name and the fund wired to any bank account you wish to have it transferred. Kindly note that my work and position would be at risk should anything go wrong so I need you to think about this and get back to me and I will give you further details on how this can be handled successfully and without any problem. I am also using this medium to inform you that this is very simple and fast and I would be the one to handle everything and all I would need from you is absolute trust and confidentiality. Kindly respond as soon as possible so I can give you further details. Yours Truly, Mr. Ming Mui
