Dear <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>,

Warmest greetings! I hope this message finds you in high spirits. Oh, what an exciting day it is to receive an email such as yours. Today I awakened to the humdrum of my pet canary, longing for a drop of excitement to grace my inbox, and lo, here you are, delivering just that!

I am both enchanted and intrigued by the notion that my humble electronic mailing address has traversed through the illustrious database of Google, only to be chosen by you for what sounds like an opportunity of a lifetime. To answer your primary concern, yes, my email address is as valid as the existence of taxes and similarly unavoidable.

You’ve tickled my curiosity, my dear Juan, and it’s practically buzzing with anticipation for the details of this good business proposal you speak of. I must confess I have been eagerly awaiting a shift in my fortunes, and your message seems to sing the sweet tunes of destiny.

So, I say let’s embark on this promising venture together! As an enthusiast of good business and an aficionado of serendipitous opportunities, I find myself wholeheartedly interested. Please furnish me with more details at your earliest convenience.

In anticipation of the abundant details to come, I shall prepare my thinking cap and my quill, poised and ready to strategize on our joint endeavor.

Do reach out posthaste—my canary and I are on pins and needles, with bated breath and the tamest of impatience.

Looking forward to your prompt response.

Kindest regards,
Cameron McCaffrey

P.S. Just to be secure in our forthcoming dealings, might I request the pleasure of knowing how you happened upon my email in the vast sea that is the Google database? It would do wonders for the safety of my heart to know our connection is as far as the stars.

Subject: Important Matter Regarding Financial Portfolio

I hope this message finds you well. My name is <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>, and I am a staff member at WING HANG BANK in Hong Kong. I'm reaching out to you about a matter involving a customer and an investment managed by our bank four years ago. Please keep the details of this communication private and respect the confidentiality of the information.

In 2019, a customer approached our Private Banking Services Department, seeking to invest $11,700,350 USD with our bank. I was assigned to handle this case as the de-facto chief operations officer. Unfortunately, after a few months, the customer passed away, and our attempts to locate any surviving family have been unsuccessful.

I propose a solution: I am prepared to position you as the closest surviving relative/associate, allowing the finance firm to release the deposit to you as the beneficiary. Upon receipt, we would share the proceeds equally, with you receiving 50%. All actions will be conducted in accordance with the rule of law.

For security reasons, please respond directly to this email if you are interested. Your positive signals will prompt me to initiate the necessary steps for a quick conclusion to this matter.

I understand the sensitivity of this proposal and assure you of my commitment to maintaining confidentiality. Please do not contact me through official channels. That is why I am contacting you with my personal email, not a bank official email based on my experience as a banker, as I want to avoid any direct link between us. Your cooperation in this matter is crucial.

I appreciate your time and consideration.

Best regards,

<PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>

Email #4, from Cameron:

Dear <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>,

I trust you are faring well amid the ever-bustling energies that the thriving city of Hong Kong is sure to exude. Your recent missive has been received and has imbued an aura of clandestine adventure into my uneventful surroundings.

The narrative you’ve spun is as riveting as it is heart-rending – a tale of undelivered destinies folded within the solemn corridors of your esteemed financial institution. How I grieve for the customer’s lonely departure from this world, yet one cannot help but marvel at the twist of fate that presents such a peculiar opportunity to yours truly.

I must extend my sincerest commendation for the commendable discretion and professionalism with which you approach this delicate situation. The world, it seems, has become rather indiscreet, and the assurance of utmost confidentiality is the gentle whisper of trust that my soul warms to.

To act as the closest surviving relative strikes me as a task of great responsibility, yet it hums a tempting melody to partake in the legacy of a once-pulsing heart now stilled. A 50% share, you say? The figure dances most alluringly across my cognition, titillating both my sense of intrigue and longing for a joint venture that promises much.

I am, naturally, brimming with questions – as is the right and sensible proclivity of a person presented with such an unexpected opportunity. However, I shall, in the spirit of this enterprise, keep those inquiries for a more secure exchange, lest the prying eyes that so often pervade electronic correspondence catch a whiff of our confluence.

Pray tell, what might be our next steps? I am an earnest pupil in the hands of your experienced teachings. Guide me through the labyrinthine intricacies this venture no doubt requires with the tutelage that only an astute banker of your caliber can bestow.

To summarize, I am positively inclined, and my signal, bright as the morning star and just as true, shines clear in the direction of your proposal. I await your esteemed guidance with all the patience of a cat at the mouse hole – alert, prepared and whiskers twitching in anticipation.

Until the gossamer thread of our correspondence is once again pulled taut with information, I remain,

Yours faithfully, with a touch of thrilled expectancy,
Cameron McCaffrey

P.S. My canary, too, insists on her involvement in our mutual celebration upon successful completion of our venture. Birds and their sixth sense for the glitter of success, eh?

Subject: Continuing Our Discussion on the Financial Portfolio Matter

Dear

Thank you for your prompt response. I appreciate your interest in assisting me with this transaction. However, I want to ensure your willingness, trustworthiness, and commitment to successfully execute this transaction. Given the sensitive nature of this matter, these qualities are crucial, and I believe they will benefit both of us. Please follow my instructions to facilitate a timely completion of this transaction.

I obtained your contact discreetly during my search for a reliable partner on the internet. As explained in my previous emails, I cannot transfer the funds in my name, and that's why I sought your assistance as a foreigner.

Considering the substantial amount involved, it's essential for me to be certain about the person to whom I entrust this transaction. Trust is a two-way street, and I understand that it must be earned. I assure you that I am a matured person with integrity, and I am willing to prove my integrity to you.

Regarding the legality of the transaction, an attorney I am working with will prepare the necessary affidavits to legally designate you as the beneficiary. The attorney will obtain clearances from Hong Kong authorities, including the Justice Department, ensuring that all documents meet international beneficiary claim standards. I will cover all expenses related to the attorney's services and you will play your part as a partner to open an account in your name with the bank that i will refer you to to make sure we do things according to the law that gorven this transaction which is 100% legal.

You won't need to travel anywhere as the attorney will handle all probate matters on your behalf. He is an accredited lawyer with extensive experience in inheritance issues in Hong Kong. With perfected documents, the attorney will apply for the immediate release and transfer of the funds to you. No need to send any money to me; I will take care of all expenses on my end.

What I require from you is trust and commitment. As a banker with many years of experience, I believe that with diligent follow-up, we can complete this transaction within 12 working days. Before providing more details, I need assurance of your commitment to this business. I await your response.

Sincerely,

<PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>
