Mr.John Lee.
Korea Exchange Bank
14 1-ka Namdaemun-ro Chung-ku
Seoul, Seoul 100-757
South Korea.

I am Mr.John Lee, credit officer of Korea Exchange Bank.I have an urgent and
very confidential business proposition for you. On July 8, 2001, a Scotland Oil
consultant/contractor with the South Korea Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr. Mark
Phillip made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued
at (Twenty-Nine Million Three Hundred Thousand American Dollars only) 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, that Mr. Mark Phillip died from an auto-mobile
accident. 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.Mark Phillip did
not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,including his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.This sum of $29,300,000.00 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 South Korea, at the expiration of (five) years,the money
will revert to the
ownership of the South Korea 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. Mark Phillip 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. We shall employ the
services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain
the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for
the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide the
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 70%for
me and 25% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the
transaction.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction
will be done by the attorney and with my
position as the credit officer guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately to my email
box.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 umbers for easy
communication. You should 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.
Regards,
Mr.John Lee.
