MR. TANG.K.LETIAN
International Commercial Bank

ATTENTION:
I am Mr.Tang Karl Letian,Presently Bank Manager of
International commercial Bank China,100 Chi Lin
Rd.,Taipei 104 Taipei Taiwan, R.O.C.
I would respectfully request that you keep the
contents of this mail confidential and respect the
integrity of the information you come by as a result
of this mail. I contact you independently of our
investigation and no one is informed of this
communication.
I would like to intimate you with certain facts that
I believe would be of interest to you. In 1999, the
subject matter Mrs Tobey Seidman , informed us that she
had a financial portfolio of Seven Million Four
Hundred and fifty thousand Dollars ($7,450,000.00),
which she wished to have us turn over (invest) on her
behalf. I was the officer assigned to her case; I
made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as
the de-facto manager of the newly formed branch ,
especially given the volume of funds she wished to put
into our Bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to
any investments being placed.I encouraged her to
consider various growth funds with prime ratings.
The favored route in my advice to customers is to
start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and
bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative
investments.
Based on my advice, we spun the money around various
opportunities and made attractive margins for our
first months of operation, the accrued profit and
interest stood at this point at 2 million United
States Dollars, this margin was not the full potential
of the fund but she desired low risk guaranteed
returns on investments.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine Notification to her
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, We
sent a reminder and finally we discovered from her
contract employers, Tobey Seidman died From an air
crash on Egypt Air flight 990 from New York two
months earlier. Pls. visit the website

On further investigation, I found out that She died
without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace her
next of kin Was fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Tobey Seidman did
not declare any kin or relations in her entire
official Documents, including
her Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. According to
Laws of Republic of China, at the expiration of 6
(six) 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 Tobey
Seidman so that the fruits of This woman'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 will then facilitate the
transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next
of kin. The disbursement of the funds will be subject
to negotiation between us.
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
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with
more details and relevant documents that will help
you understand the transaction.Awaiting your urgent
reply .
Thanks and regards.
T.K Letian.
