Subject: Urgent Confidential Proposal
Good Day,
I am Mr. Chen Jiang, Bank Manager of a Bank in China.I have an urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you.
On November 6, 2001, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the
Chinese Solid
Minerals Corporation, Made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar
months, valued at US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million United States
Dollars) in my
branch.Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers, the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation that he died from an
automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he
died without
making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.I
therefore made further investigation and discovered that he did not
declare any
kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank
and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the
end of each
year.
No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Republic of
China, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the
ownership of the Chinese Government if nobody applies to claim the
fund.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand
in as the next of kin to the man so that the fruits of this old man's labor
will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.This is
simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so
that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits
that will
put you in place as the next of kin.
I shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and authorization of
the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.A bank account in any
part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of
this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into
your account for us to share in the ratio of 50% for me and 50% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done
by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful
execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately
via the private email address chen_jiangcn6@yahoo.com
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me your
confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.Please observe
utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most
profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my
share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address.
chen_jiangcn6@yahoo.com
Thanks and regards.
Chen Jiang
