>From The Desk of,
Mr. Peter Chang.
Damansara,
Malaysia.
Attn: Mr. /Mrs,
Transfer of US $26,000,000.00 (Twenty Six Million United States Dollars).
Firstly,let me start by introducing myself to you,I am: Mr. Peter Chang
(Bishop);the spiritual leader and founder of Calvary Christian Church in
Damansara here in Malaysia.
I have written to you with regards to the fact that one of my vibrant Church
member,a foreigner to Malaysia and also an international business man,an
industrialist with chains of businesses spread across America,Europe and
Malaysia. He however,unfortunately lost his life in a plane crash on October
31st,2000,that swept a lot of nationalities across most countries in America,
Europe,Africa,United Kingdom and including Asia.Up until that untoward
aircraft disaster,he always comes to Malaysia with his lovely wife and daughter.
And attended our Church meetings regularly with his family,when ever there were
around.
On one wonderful occasion the deceased confided in me that he had an account
in fixed deposit here in Malaysia,which amounted to US$ 26,000,000.00.He told
me he was going to use the funds for Charity Organizations and to better the
lives of the less privileged.We started making arrangements on how this vision
of his could be achieved,before he met his death,may his soul rest in peace.
I have personally sought for his relatives to come claim part of his wealth
that is languishing here in Malaysia and being enjoyed by the Banks.But in
my quest of search,I have found out,that I was unable to get even one of his
relatives.Hence,I have taking the decision as his spiritual leader to
accomplish his desire by taking the funds across to the proposed less
privileged and Charity Organizations,as he would have done if only he was
alive.
The manager of the Bank,where deceased lodged the funds told me categorically,
that for the fact,that the fund was owned and operated by a foreigner;only a
foreigner with the complete information can call for claims and eventually
claim the funds.
Consequently,I am contacting you if interested,to present you as the legal
beneficiary to the deceased for the onward transfer of these funds into your
designated account.Trusting and counting on your ability and reliability to
execute this transaction in accommodating this magnitude of funds into any of
your Bank accounts.What I require is an individual /Organisation,that would
be capable and fit enough to provide me either an existing Bank account or set
up a new Bank Account immediately to accommodate this funds.Even an empty bank
account can serve to receive these funds as long as you will remain honest on
or after the fund is transferred to your account.
One of the major reasons, why I have contacted you is:for you to also partner
with me in taking these funds after the confirmation of it into your account;
across to as many orphanages,less privileged and the Charity Organizations in
your locality or country.
The Bank manager also told me, that there will be some expenses that will be
incurred in getting a successful fund transfer to a foreign partners account.
This includes:the legal documents that will fit you in as the legal beneficiary
to the said fund and Tax Coverage on the fund. Your role in this fund transfer
as a foreign partner will be:taking care of every expense that will be incurred
and upon the confirmation of the fund into your account,you will take the
percentage spent on the cause of this transaction,while the remaining will be
shared proportionately in the order of 50%-50%, for dispersion to the proposed
less privileged and Charity Organizations.With me in this fund transfer,there
will be no risk on your part as a foreigner,so long as you will adhere to my
instructions.
Furthermore,upon the completion of this transaction,you shall take 50% of the
total sum,after deduction of expenses,and send to us the remaining 50% for the
onward achievement of getting the fund across to the less privileged and Charity
Organizations here in Malaysia.You shall take 20% for yourself for your honest
commitment and shall disperse the other 30% to the proposed less privileged and
Charity Organizations in your country.Also be informed,that your honesty is
highly required in this transaction,as you are dealing with a spiritual HEAD.
If interested in this,and want to partner with me to getting this fund out of
the Bank and consequently given to the proposed less privileged and Charity
Organizations contact me urgently, through my confidential e-mail address
peter_chang2@walla.com for further details on the next steps to take.
Kindest regards
Mr. Peter Chang.
