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
who executed some contracts for our corporation last 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 have
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.First,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 $1,450,000.00
(one million 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:
edwardsingho_55@yahoo.com.hk [mailto:edwardsingho_55@yahoo.com.hk] or Fax:852-301-72871 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.
