Subject: BANK OF CHINA
Mr.Yi Xu Ming
BANK OF CHINA
Shenzen Branch
Republic of China.Dear Friend,
Please allow me to introduce myself. My mane is Mr.Yi
Xu Ming, and i am the branch pricipal of Bank of
China, Shenzhen Branch, China. I have urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you.On November 6, 1998, a British Oil
consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals
Corporation, Lawrence Smith made a numbered time
(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty 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. Lawrence Smith died from
an automobile accide! nt. On further investigation, I
found out that he died without making a WILL, and all
attempts to trace his next of kin was has been
impossible.I therefore made further investigation and discovered
that Mr. Lawrence Smith did not declare any kin or
relations in all his official documents, including his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$30,000,000.00 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 Republic of China,
at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will
revert to the ownership of the Chinese 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. Lawrence Smith so
that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get
into the hands of some corrupt government officials.!This process will be simple, I will like you to
provide imme diately 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 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 det! ails and relevant documents
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 email.:yi123@fastermail.comThanks and regards.
Mr.Yi Xu Ming.
