Subject: I CONTACTED YOU AFTER A SERIOUS THOUGHT KINDLY REPLY ASAP!!! 
 
Good Day, 
  
  
  
I must apologize for invading your privacy. I actually contacted you 
during my research for a capable hands for this transaction. 
I am Feng Wei, a staff of Private Banking Services at the Bank of China 
(BOC) United Kingdom. I am contacting you concerning our customer and, 
an investment placed under our banks management 5 years ago. 
I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail 
confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by 
as a result of this mail. I contacted you independently of our 
investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like 
to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to 
you. 
  
  
  
In 2005, the subject matter; ref: bb/boc/bank/0012 came to our bank to 
engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services 
Department. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 8.35 
million United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over 
(invest) on his behalf. 
  
  
  
I was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in 
line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the 
Private Banking Services Department, especially given the volume of 
funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior 
to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider various 
growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to 
customers is to start by accessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and 
bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments. Based on my 
advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive 
margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest 
stood at this point at over 10 million United States Dollars, this margin 
was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed 
returns on investments. In mid-2005, he asked that the money be liquidated 
because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in 
Europe. He directed that I liquidate the funds and had it deposited with a 
firm. I informed him that the bank would have to make special arrangements 
to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank 
would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking 
and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came 
around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking 
of us. Cash movement across borders has become especially strict since the 
incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate in and had the funds 
available. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his 
precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited in a 
security consultancy firm, the firm is a specialist private firm that 
accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip 
corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions 
that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly private 
organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected 
organizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited . He 
told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from 
Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this 
transpired around 9th October, 2005. 
  
  
  
In January last year, we got a call from the security firm informing us 
that the inactivity of that particular portfolio. This was an 
astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I 
managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the 
deposit , and I could not understand why he had not come forward to claim 
his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate him I immediately passed the 
task of locating him to the internal investigations department of the bank 
of china. Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently 
he was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a 
heart attack in Canne, South of France. We were soon enough able to 
identify the body and cause of death was confirmed. The bank immediately 
launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert 
about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you 
are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our 
services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from 
conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of 
kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no 
one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; 
depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank 
also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or 
held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account 
and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking 
clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases 
leave wills in our care, in this case; he died intestate. 
In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed 
away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine 
who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the 
past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our 
private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the 
problem. The investigation did not ever yield any result My official 
capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the 
investigation and the only party to receive the results of the 
investigation. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of 
what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late 
beneficiary of the deposit. According to practice, the firm will by the 
end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to 
BOC, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the 
deposit back to BOC. This will result in the money entering the BOC 
accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the 
Private Banking Services Department. This will not happen if I have my 
way. 
  
  
  
 
What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I 
want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking 
world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. 
The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for 
those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You 
should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I 
propose. There is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited , I alone have the deposit 
details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them 
to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as BOC 
is concerned, the transaction with our deceased customer concluded when I 
sent the funds to the firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to 
the file are just customer services and due process. They are simply 
awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes 
forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent great amounts of 
money trying to track this man's family; they have investigated for months 
and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end. 
My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to give 
instruction for the release of the deposit to you as the closest surviving 
relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money 
with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin 
and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50. 
I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that 
would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the 
deposit. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you 
within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of 
the file relating to the customer I will then officially communicate with 
the firm and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these two 
things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have firm direct 
the funds to another bank with you as account holder. This way there will 
be no need for you to think of receiving the money from the firm. We can 
fine-tune this based on our interactions. 
  
 
  
  
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you 
find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask 
that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal 
to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy 
my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this 
but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable 
situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal 
and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for 
you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make 
this move. Such opportunities only come ones' way once in a lifetime. I 
cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control 
of my destiny. These chances won't pass me by. I ask that you do not 
destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me 
move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is 
an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward 
for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated 
the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with 
me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this 
situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you 
into the center of relevance in my life. Let's share the blessing. 
If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same 
email account. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this 
process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you 
contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this 
project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official 
phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email 
account. Contact me only through through this email address. I do not want 
any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines 
as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in 
line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please observe this 
instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man; I have a 
wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as 
to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is 
nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter 
of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking 
clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, send me 
your response to enable us commence this line of discussion. 
  
 
  
I Await Your Response. 
 
 
Mr Feng Wei
