>From the desk of:
Dr. Cheng L Cho,
Bank of china,
Shenzhen,
Peoples Republic Of China.
   
I am Dr. Cheng L Cho, Bank Manager of Bank of China, Shenzhen Branch, China. 
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. A British Oil
 consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, mr. Raymond 
Beck made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
 Thirty Million US 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 Mr.. Raymond Beck died in a 
plane crash along with his wife Mrs. Doreen Beck in Egypt Air Flight 990, 
1999 air crash (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm). 
   
Since we got this information about his death. 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 Mr.. Raymond Beck did not declare any kin or relations in all
 his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This
 sum of Thirty Million dollars 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 (12 ) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Chinese
 Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
   
Consequently, my proposal is for you as a foreigner, to stand in as the next of 
kin to Mr.Raymond Beck 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. We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and
 notarization 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 eighty percent for me and 
twenty percent 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 above.
 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.
   
Regards,
Dr. Cheng L Cho.
