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 (Twelve) 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 a
nd 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.
