Subject: Details/First step.
Good day,
I am in receipt of your message and I want to thank you very much for your prompt response to my proposal. Hoping you will treat this transaction with the openess it deserves, I will urge you to please treat this matter with commitment and expediency for us to achieve success.
Having said that, I will just go ahead to give you a brief over veiw of the proposed business. I must first of all assure you that this transaction will be conducted within a legal framework to ensure we do not have any problems now or in future.
My name is Mou Xinsheng and am a civil servant at the Peoples Republic of China. In my years of government service, I have received gratification from business people seeking favours from me and as a public officer still in service my bank accounts are monitored hence I diverted the funds amounting to Thirty Million United States Dollars for safe keeping abroad.
I contact you to assist me receive this money which has been in deposit since the last Two years. When the money is in your bank account, I intend to set up a charity foundation with Sixty Percent of the money to help Children suffering from sickle cell anemia (You will sparehead this project and my name will not be mentioned). You will receive Twenty Percent as your commission and I will take the remaining Twenty Percent as my share which I intend to invest in real estate/stocks in your country.
As a serving civil servant, it will not be wise for me to have investments in my name outside my country. I therefore intend to have you as a managing partner in our future business venture so that the investment will be in your name. For your partnership, I am proposing 35% as your share of our investment. This I hope is okay by you. Please let me know.
To commence however, I will require you to send me more information about you to understand your person and secure the change of benefciary certificate in your favour. I will in due course send you the funds deposit certificate.
I need the following information.
1). What is your professional attainment.
2). Your Age and marital status.
3). Your Address.
4). Do you have a family member (Child) who is suffering from sickle cell anemia?
This transaction is not all about the money, but a dear desire to assist those many children suffering.
Note that the funds where initially deposited with the bank of China, Hong Kong. But to avoid any complications as always expected in money transactions in the Eastern block, I have already given instructions to my bankers to effect payment/transfer in Europe. You may have to take delivery of the funds in the United Kingdom and open an account there so that gradually the money can be moved to a safe banking for our purposes.
I hope you have an existing/active current account to receive the funds? I hope you are not in any way defaulting in your taxes? I need to know as I do not want anything to jeopardize this transaction especially taxes and/or problems with your bankers.
First things first. The above requested information is the starting point. Send me the info soon as possible then we can proceed step by step.
Please consider this proposal and reply to me soon with the requested information..
Rgds,
Mou Xinsheng
