Good day,

My name is Maria Norwood;I work with the Total Quest Services,a consulting Firm in London,
UK. We are conducting a standard process investigation involving a client who shares the same
name with you andalso the circumstances surrounding investments made by this client at HSBC
Bank Plc.The HSBC Private Banking client died intestate and nominated no next of kin to
inherit the title over the investments made with HSBC Bank Plc.The essence of this
communication with you is to request that you provide us information on three issues:

1-Are you aware of any relative/relation having the same surname, whose last known contact
address was Madrid, Spain?

2-Are you aware of any investment of considerable value made by such a person at the HSBC
Bank Plc.?

3-Can you establish beyond reasonable doubt your eligibility to assume status of next of kin
to the deceased?

It is pertinent that you inform us ASAP whether or not you are familiar with this personality
that we may put an end to this communication with you and our inquiries surrounding this
personality.You must appreciate that we are constrained from providing you with more detailed
information at this point. PLEASE RESPOND BACK TO MY PRIVATE AND DIRECT EMAIL ADDRESS;
