Toward the end of my service with Bank of China where I worked for many years, several of my colleagues and I set up
companies with which we successfully secured loans for speculation in Hong Kong and Singapore stocks and real estate. We
did this because it had dawned on us that we
were paid barely enough to feed our families while top government officials control billions of dollars. The bank along
with regulatory authorities from China and Hong Kong started an investigation into the losses of money and as a result a
few of my colleagues and I went into hiding and have settled ourselves and our families. Due to our positions as being
involved with the initial investigation, we cannot receive this money by ourselves or in our names at this time.
Furthermore we had decided to remove this money and divide it accordingly pending when the investigation dies down. This
has occurred and I cannot leave the money unattended for much longer for fear that it might be discovered. I hereby
solicit your assistance to help take delivery of my share of these funds into your custody, and you will be adequately
compensated with 20% of the sum. Suffice it to say that the total monies involved between my friends and I totaled over
Four hundred and eighty five million United States dollars.
It is my intention therefore having your understanding and co-operation that you invest 75% of these funds in the United
States and Europe in commercial real estate as well as low risk stocks and bonds on my behalf for a few years while the
balance 5% will cater for all local and foreign expenses incurred in facilitating the transfer of this funds. My
projection is to conclude transfer of funds latest 14 working days from date of receipt of the following information by
email Your full name and address, your telephone and fax numbers and a brief profile of yourself to assure me of your
capability.
