Dear Friend,
I am Edward Ho Sing-tin,Chairman of the Hong Kong Industrial Estates
Corporation.
I have been searching for a reliable person,who can assist my colleagues and I in receiving funds from some contractors in Canada and Europe who executed some contracts for our corporation early this year.Through my search in the internet and a couple of business directories,I came up with a list of individuals and companies contact details of which yours happens to be among and have decided to present you with my proposal in anticipation that anyone of you will be in a position to assist us.
My proposal is quite simple and straigthforward and it will not take much time to execute.All I want you to do for us is to receive funds which resulted from over-invoiced bills from contracts awarded by our coporation to some companies in Canada and Europe.These contracts has been executed by the respective companies and the over-invoiced bills have been approved and payment has been made to the contractors.The funds which We want you to help us receive now is kick-back which they(contractors)promised us for helping them in approving payment for the inflated contractual sums.
I know you must be wondering why we need your assistance in this matter and this I must explain to you.Fristly,there is no way we can receive this funds on our own here in Hong Kong because we would have to explain to the authorities were our extra income is coming from.Secondly,we can open accounts outside of Hong Kong and have the contractors make payment into these accounts but the laws as forbiden goverment officials like us from operating foreign account,hence we have no other option than to solicit the help of someone outside Hong Kong to help us receive this funds in his account and also help us invest it.
The amount in total is about $450,000.00(four hundred and fifty thousand dollars) and we have agreed to give 10% of this sum to whoever would assist us.If you are willing to assist us please indicate by replying me via this email address:edward_sing78@yahoo.com.hk providing me with the following information about your-self
Full name:
Contact telphone no:
mailing address:
And any other details about yourself:
On receipt of this information I would make all arrangement with the contractors that will enable them contact you and discuss with you on how payment would be made to you.I anticipate a positive responce from you and thank you for your time.
Best Regards,
Edward Ho Sing-Tin.
