Subject: PLEASE, I NEED YOUR HELP URGENTLY
FROM THE DESK OF MR. TANG.K.LETIAN
International Commercial Bank
Taipei, Taiwan,
China.
Dear sir
My name is Mr.Tang Karl Letian, Bank Manager of International commercial
Bank China.
I wish to bring to your notice a very confidential business proposition,
concerning an Irish Oil consultant with the Chinese Solid Minerals
Corporation, Mr.David Ameeraly who made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for
twelve calendar months, valued at US$15,000,000.00 (Fifteen Million Dollars)
with my Bank.
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.David Ameeraly died From an air crash on Egypt Air flight 990 from Los
Angeles two months earlier.
Pls.visit the website: www.greatdreams.com/plane990.htm
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. David
Ameeraly did not declare any kin or relations in his entire official
Documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$15,000,000.00 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 the 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.
PROPOSAL...............
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand
in as the next of kin to Mr. David Ameeraly 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.
PROCEDURE..............
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 60% for me and 40% for you.
GUARANTEE...............

done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, Please

understand the transaction better.
