Toward the end of my service with Bank of China where I worked for
many years, several of my colleagues and I set up companies with which we successfully secured loans for speculation in Hong Kong and Singapore stocks and real estate. We did this because it had dawned on us that we were paid barely enough to feed our families while top government officials control billions of dollars. The bank along with regulatory authorities from China and Hong Kong started an investigation into the losses of money and as a result a few of my colleagues and I went into hiding and have settled ourselves and ourfamilies. Due to our positions as being involved with the initial investigation, we cannot receive this money by ourselves or in our names at this time.
Furthermore we had decided to remove this money and divide it
accordingly pending when the investigation dies down. This has occurred and I cannot leave the money unattended for much longer for fear that it might be discovered. I hereby solicit your assistance to help take delivery of my share of this funds totaling (US$128,400,000.00) into your custody, and you will be adequately compensated with 20 of the sum. Suffice it to say that the total monies involved between my friends and I totaled over Four hundred and eighty five million United states dollars. It is my intention therefore having your understanding and co-operation that you invest 75 of these funds in the United States and Europe in commercial real estate as well as low risk stocks and bonds on my behalf for a few years while the balance 5 will cater for alllocal and foreign expenses incurred in facilitating the transfer of this funds.
My projection is to conclude transfer of funds latest 14 working days
from date of receipt of the following information by email (Your full
name and address, your telephone and fax numbers and a brief profile of
yourself to assure me of your capability). Our perfected modalities are
remittance of stated funds appearing as you or your company's
entitlement to your nominated account. The requested information will enable me commence the transaction and the paperwork from here.
Please contact me immediately you receive this mail by my private
email address :chao_fang3@yahoo.com or my fax number; +44-87-1251-7261
thus signifying your capability and willingness to enable me give you
additional details on our proposed course of action for getting this
funds to you 100 risk free.
Again I look forward to doing business with you and solicityour
utmost confidentiality in this transaction. Wishing you a wonderful year ahead.
