Answer:
1.Qf7 Rxf7 2. Nxf7+ Kg8 3.Nxd8. Wins a rook.

If 1... Rg8 2.Re7 (threatens 3.Bxg7+ Rxg7 4.Qxg7#) Qf8 3.Qxf8 Rxf8 4.Bxg7#

I hope you don't mind if I double the Queen and Rook?

- Black can't leave the 8th rank, due to mate.
- White surely can sacrifice Queen for Re7 with Bxg7#.
(or some variation)
