Dear Sir/Madam,

 I am Mr. Jung Lee credit officer of the Qingdao International Bank Hong Kong and I have a concealed business proposal for you.

Before the U.S and Iraqi war our customer, Lt. Col. David C. Canegata, 50, of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, who was assigned to the Virgin Islands Army National Guard, Christiansted, U.S. Virgin Islands who was also a businessman made a Fixed Deposit for 180 days with a value of ($2.5 Million) Two million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars Only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices were sent to him without any response. Again after the Iraq war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We were later to find out that he was among 12 soldiers who were supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom that died in Iraq, on Jan. 20, when the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter they were in crashed.

After further investigation it was also discovered that Lt. Col. David C. Canegata did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Two million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the to the laws of my country at the expiration 3 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. 

Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Lt. Col. David C. Canegata so that you will be able to receive his funds. 

I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Lt. Col. Canegata, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your utmost commitment and willingness to pursue this transaction so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.

There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going 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.

Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 60% for me, 35% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the course of this operation. 

Upon receipt of your response i would give you more information on how we are to proceed.

Contact me on my personal email : [email-masked]

I anticipate your response.

Kind Regards,

Mr. Jung Lee.
