Subject: Urgent business partnership
FROM THE DESK OF:
MR RENOLY LACY
Chekiang First Bank Ltd.
Stubbs Road Branch, Hong Kong
No.1, Stubbs Road, Wan Chai,
Hong Kong.
Email; renoly_lacy@yahoo.com
Dear goodfriend Sir,
I am Mr.RENOLY LACY, Bank Manager Chekiang First Bank Ltd, Stubbs
Road Branch, Hong Kong. I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you.
A British Oil consultant and contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals
Corporation, Mr Raymond Beck made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for
twelve calendar months, valued at US$12,000,000.00 (Twelve Million
Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and
finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Chinese Solid Minerals
Corporation that Mr.Raymond Beck died in a plane crash along with his wife
Mr and Mrs Raymond & Dorene Beck in Egypt Air Flight 990,1999 air crash(for
more information about this crash and person you can
contact this website:
http://www.s-t.com/daily/11-99/11-02-99/d08ho174.htm
Since we got this information about his death and on further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts
to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation
and discovered that Mr.Raymond Beck did not declare any kin or relations
in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my
Bank. This sum of US$12,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest
is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Hong Kong,
at the expiration of 7 (seven) years, the money will revert to the ownership
of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently,
my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next
of kin to Mr.Raymond Beck so that the fruits of this old man's labor will
not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names
and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents
and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin. recently,
we got wind of information that the Federal Government of Hong Kong are
making plans to confisticate this money and may be some of their top officials
could sit upon this money.
This was where we took it upon ourselves to transfer the fund to one of
our correspondent security firm / finance house in London for your easy
collection. As soon as you receive this mail and ready for the transfer,
then get prepared to travel to the security company in London for the collection
of this fund with the help of the documents which i shall send to you once
you indicate your interest to make this trip to London.
Alternatively, If you find it very difficut to make this trip to London,then
a bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of
kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio
of 90% for me and 10% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested, please reply immediately via the private email address above.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details that will
help you understand the transaction. Please send me your confidential telephone
and fax numbers for easy communication.Please observe utmost confidentiality,
and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both
of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your
country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my confidential email
address: renoly_lacy@yahoo.com
Regards,
MR Renoly lacy.
