Mr.Soo Cho
CHO HUNG BANK.
14 1-ka Namdaemun-ro Chung-ku
Seoul, Seoul 100-757
South Korea.
www.chohungbank.co.kr
I am Mr.Soo Cho, credit officer of CHO HUNG BANK. I
have an urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you.
On July 8, 2000, a British Oil consultant/contractor
with the South Korea Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr.
Phillip Morris made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit
for twelve calendar months, valued at $28,000,000.00
(Twenty-eight Million American Dollars only) 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, that Mr. Phillip Morris died from
an auto-mobile accident.
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.Phillip Morris did not declare any kin or
relations in all his official documents,including his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.This sum of
$28,000,000.00 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 South Korea, at the expiration of
(five) years,the money will revert to the ownership of
the South Korea Government if nobody applies to claim
the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.
Phillip Morris 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 the 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 70%for me and 25% for you and 5%
for Expenses Incurred in the course of the transaction
.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the attorney and with my
position as the credit officer guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested, please reply immediately to my email box.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more
details that will help you
understand the transaction.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax
numbers for easy communication.
You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable
for both of us because I shall require your assistance
to invest my share in your country.
Regards,
Soo Cho,
