From: "Liang Nguyen" <l_nguyen84@msn.com>
Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 09:11:51 +0000
Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Dear Friend,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Liang Nguyen a credit officer
of the Lek Yuen Branch, Bank of China. I got your details from the
e-business directory in the Shatin Central Library, Hong Kong.
I have a mutually beneficial enterprise to suggest to you.
Since 2000 The government of china has injected at least $45 billion into
Construction Bank and Bank of China merger as part of a pilot scheme to
reform the sector and prepare for the launch and sale of
IPOs.(http://www.cbiz.cn/NEWS/showarticle.asp?id=2104)
However these mergers have not gone as succesfully as anticipated, as a lot
of assets and accounts were under-valued and as such there are unclaimed
funds in different accounts locally and internationally.
Several attempts have been made by various bank officials to divert these
funds and also to misappropriate them but this has resulted in their
execution because they have tried to make these transfers without the total
collaboration of their banking units and all relevant heads of departments
of the different banking units involved.

Since 2003 an audit of Financial Assets has been on-going and a special
committe was set up
to further the co-operate governance objectives of the bank, this committee
is made up of various individuals of this bank. During our investigation and
audits it was discovered that majority of the funds placed in the bank were
not properly declared and a certain Finance Government official also placed
Government Funds in the bank without going through the appropriate deposit
procedures as he was preparing to divert and siphoon the funds but our
investigations made him and his accomplices in the bank, dissappear into
thin air. Thus the funds are lying in my bank and no one will ever come
forward to claim them.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand as the bona-fide owner of these funds totalling
HK$100,000,000.00(One Hundred Million Hong Kong Dollars) The equivalent of
US$13,000,000.00 (Thirteen Million US Dollars) so that you will be able to
receive his funds.
Please be rest-assured that all the necessary and required documents to
proove the above are being handled and managed by my sub-committee and as
such we have nothing to worry about, with regards securing the documentation
to effect the release of the funds to you.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a
legalized method and
the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.
Once the funds have been transferred to you we shall share in the ratio of
75% for my team and 25% for you. Please note that this first transaction is
to be used as a trial run as there will be more transactions of this nature
in the future, upon the succesful execution of this transaction.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this
issue and reach me through my personal email address of
LiangNguyen@hotmail.com.
Best Regards,
Mr. Liang Nguyen
