Subject: FROM AUDITOR JOHN LEYDEN
ATTN: PRESIDENT/DIRECTOR/CEO
Greeting from China,
In order to execute and transfer out (US$ 13 Million) Thirteen million United States dollars from INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL BANK CHINA (ICBC). I have picked-up trust and courage to look for a reliable and honest person like you who will be capable for this important business transaction believing that you will never let me down either now or in the future since you have a reliable company.
My name is Mr John Leyden the chief Auditing officer of INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL BANK CHINA (ICBC). There is an account opened in this bank in 1996 and since 2002, nobody has operated this account.
After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently, it would be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account, ROBERT B. ADAMS, of (America) a foreigner, he was a crude oil merchant and he has joint oil refinery, petroleum and gas Company in China and Hong Kong, a geologist by profession, and he died in 2002. No other person knows about this amount or anything concerning it due to the fact that the death certificate was not provided by any of his family members, therefore the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that this company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved is (US$ 13 Million) Thirteen million United States dollars. If I transfer this fund into your account, the account of Mr. ROBERT B. ADAMS with CHINA INDUSTRIAL BANK will be close immediately.
I am contacting you based on the fact that you are a foreigner because this money can only be approved for payment to a foreigner who is not living in China, more so it cannot be approved for local bank account here in China, as this money is in US Dollars, hence the former owner of this account is a foreigner too; that why it need ’s a foreign heritance.
I know that this proposal will come to you as a surprise as we don't know ourselves before, however, I based my move on trust and we still have to meet possibly, sign some agreement before the final transfer of the fund into any of your chosen designated bank account. Please, treat with utmost confidentiality.
Contact me as quickly as possible after office hours between 16:00pm till late hours through the above email address, and please email your personal contact details such as:
Personal phone number
Personal fax number And email address
Here are details regarding the sharing modalities: 5% will be used to settle transference charges and local protocols, 25% will be given to you for using your account 70% will belong to the fund originators. I shall expect an immediate reply from you if you are willing and capable to assist.
Best regards,
Mr John Leyden.
