There is a fixed
deposit of US$48,000,000.00 (Fourty Eight Million United States Dollars)
made in a Korea bank since 1998 which is eight years now and since then no
claim or withdrawal have been made on that deposit.
Fortunately, I have been the person in charge of this deposit from the day
of deposit to date. This great late Estate Magnate died without a written or
oral 'WILL' attached to the account with respect to his investment in Korea
Real Estate Company. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being
able to locate any of his next of kin. Rapidly, I took the precaution of
converting this funds worth US$48,000,000.00 Dollars to the [open secure progamme] and deposited it with OPEN
BENEFICARY-which allows anybody or person that has accurate information to the deposit can lay claim to it.
As a proposed partner i must confided in you immensely ,therefore to use my
position to move this money outside Korea through dedicated bank in Europe
to your designated account with consolidated arrangement. It can be
transferred to your custody if you are willing and assure me of your ability
to handle such a sum and honesty that I will not be cheated out when the
money comes into your account.
I am willing to let you keep 20% of this fund for your assistance.Indicate
your willingness by return email: leeyoung624@yahoo.com.hk
Sincerely yours,
Mr. Lee Young.
