Chen Qingxuan
Fubon Financial Holding Company Ltd.
Hong Kong Branch (Fubon Bank)
Thank you for giving me your time. Please be patient and
read my email to you. I am a staff of Fubon Financial
Holding Company Ltd (Hong Kong Branch) attached in private
Banking Services. I am contacting you concerning a customer
and an investment placed under our banks management about 5
years ago.
In 2001, the subject matter; Ref: bb/fhc/bank/182 came to
our bank to engage in Private Banking services, I was the
officer assigned to his case. We met on numerous occasions
prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to
consider various growth funds with prime ratings. Based on
my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities
and made attractive margins for our first months of
operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at this
point at over 10 million United States Dollars, this margin
was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low
risk guaranteed returns on investments.
In line with the instructions he had earlier given to
liquidate the funds after 4 years in order for him to make
some Investment requiring cash payments in Europe,I
followed his instructions and I later made numerous attempt
to contact him after 3 years in order to get further
instructions from him.I made futile efforts to locate him
and I immediately passed the task of locating him to the
internal investigations department of our bank. A person who
suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack
in Cannes, South of France. Wewere soon enough able to
identify the body and cause of death was confirmed. The
bank immediately launched an investigation into possible
surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also
to come forward to claim his estate.
There is US$14,000,000.00 deposited,I alone have the
deposit details and this will be release to no one unless I
instruct my Bank to do so. I am prepared to place you in a
position to instruct my Bank to release the deposit to you
asthe closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the
deposit, I am prepared to give you 30% of the total sum for
your help. That is, I will simply nominate you as the next
of kin and have them release the deposit to you. The
proceed shall be shared in the ratio 30/70.
If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this
process towards a conclusion. I await your quickresponse.
Sincerely,
Chen Qingxuan
