MR.CHEUNG PUI
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD.BRANCH
CENTRAL HONG KONG
HONG KONG.
I am Mr.Cheung Pui, credit officer of Hang Seng Bank
Ltd, Hong Kong. I have an urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you.
On october 6, 2001, an American consultant/contractor
with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation,Mr.
Smith Lawrence made a (Fixed) Deposit for twelve
calendar months, valued at US$68,000,000.00 (six-eight
Million 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, the Hong Kong 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$68,000,000.00 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 the Hong Kong Law,under china's foreign
and defense affairs,at the expiration of 5 (five)
years,such funds will revert to the ownership of the
chinese Government for financing military
operations,such as purchasing of arms
and ammunitions for the military.
In order to avert this negative development,i will
like to seek for your permission as a foreigner to
stand as the next of kin to Mr. Smith Lawrence so that
the fruits of this old man's labor will not be use for
financing weapons which will further enhance the
courses of war in the world in general.
The money will be paid into your account for us to
share in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you and
10% 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 my
attorney and with my position as the credit officer
guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction. If you are interested,please reply
immediately.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more
details and that will help you understand the
transaction.
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.
Mr.Cheung Pui.
