Dear Friend,
I am Dr. Woo Chong, Bank Manager of Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Nan Kan
branch, Taiwan. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for
you.
On December 20, 1999, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese
Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr. Smith Lawrence made a numbered time
(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00
(Thirty Million 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. Smith
Lawrence died from an automobile 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. Smith
Lawrence did not declare any kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum
of US$30,000,000.00 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 the Taiwanese Government at the expiration of 5 (five)
years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the Taiwanese 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. Smith Lawrence 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 80% for me and 20% 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.
Please 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.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address.
Thanks and regards.
DR. WOO CHONG
CHINATRUST COMMERCIAL BANK.
NAN KAN BRANCH,
TAIWAN.
