Thus i am convinced you would be capable to provide me with a solution to a
money transfer transaction of US$75,200,000.00(Seventy Five Million Two
Thousand, hundred United States Dollars).
SOURCE:
The money i want to invest was acquired towards the end of my service with
Bank of China where I worked for many years,several of my colleagues and I
set up companies with which we successfully secure loans totalling to
US$350,000,000.00 for speculation in Hong Kong,
China and Singapore stocks and real estate.We did this
because it had dawned on us that we were paid barely enough to feed our
families while top government officials control billions of dollars.The bank
along with regulatory authorities from China and Hong Kong started an
investigation into the losses of money and as a result a few of my
colleagues and I went into hiding and have settled ourselves and our
families.
Due to my positions as being involved with the initial investigation, I
cannot receive this money by my self or in my name at this time .Furthermore
we had to decided to remove this money(US$350,000,000.00) and divide it
accordingly because the investigation has died down and we cannot leave the
money unattended for much longer for fear that it might be discovered.
I hereby solicit your assistance to help take delivery of
this funds totalling(US$75,200,000.00)Which is my share after division of
the actual funds between i and my collegues,i have deposited this fund in a
security company in china,and i hereby require you to take this fund into
your custody,and you will be
adequately compensated with 25% of the entire sum.
It is my intention therefore having your understanding and co-operation that
you invest 70% of these funds in the United States and Europe in commercial
real estate as well as low risk stocks and bonds on my behalf for a few
years while the balance 5% will cater for all local and foreign expenses
incurred in facilitating the transfer of this funds.my projection is to
conclude the pick up of funds latest 14 working days from date of reciept of
the following information by email:cbkim@asiamail.com
(Your full name and address,your telephone and fax numbers and a brief
profile of yourself to assure me of your capability). my perfected
modalities is remittance of stated funds appearing as you or your company's
entitlement to your nominated destination of funds investment.
The requested information will enable me commence the
transaction and the paperwork from here.Please note that i would require a
