Dr.Peter Chang
Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia.
ATTN:Sir/Madam,
TRANSFER OF ($15,300.000.00 USD} FIFTEEN MILLION THREE HUNRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
I want to transfer ($15,300.000.00 USD)Fifteen Million Three Hundred United States
Dollars from a Bank here in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia.to oversea account. First, I must
solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction.This is by virtue of it's nature as being
utterly confidential.I am sure and have confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute
a transaction of this great magnitude.I solicit your assistance to enable us transfer the said
amount into your safe account for unward investment.You can either provide us with an
existing account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this money, even
an empty a/c can serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till
the end for this important business trusting in you and believing that you will never let me
down either now or in future.
I am the personal account officer to a great late INDUSTRIALIST who has an account
in one of the top banks here in Malaysia. The account was opened in 1999 and he died
in the year 2001 without a written or oral WILL and since then nobody has operated on this
account again hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will
be forfeited for nothing since the bank has been sold on Wednesday, 19 March 2003 to
another bank and the management of the bank is now ready to release the fund to any foreigner
who has the correct information of the account before fully handing over the management to the
new bank.The owner of this account is a foreigner and no other person knows about this
account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary . My investigation
through the National immigration department proved to me as well that he was single as at the
point of his entry int Malaysia.
The amount in this account is USD$15.3 Million ( Fiteen Million Three Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars )only.As a matter of fact, I have decided to transfer this fund abroad for
investment. Your assistance as a foreigner is necessary because the management of the bank
will welcome any foreigner who has correct information to this account which I will give you
mmediately, if you are interested to do this business with me.
There is no risk to this business. With my position and my personal contact with the manager of
the bank,the money can be transferred to any account you can provide with assurance that this
money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing.We will start the first
transfer with Six Million [$6,000.000]. Upon successful transfer without any disappointment from
your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining balance of $9.3 Million to your account.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local person
here, but can only be approved to any foreigner who has the correct information of the account
which I will provide to you.So you should provide me with your correct account detail where you will
like the fund to be transferred or you can set up a new account for the transfer even an empty
account is ok.
At the conclussion of the transfer you will take 20% for your honest committment and positive
contributions to enhance that the transaction succeeds,and the remaining 80% for me which I
intend to invest in any area you deem profitable.
As soon as I hear from you,and upon your strong assurance that you will not let me down once the
fund goes into your account I will then start to process the transfer of the fund to your account without
further delay.
Contact me urgently for further detail.
Thanks.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr.Peter Chang
