Dear friend,
I am Mr. Chu Sengchen , Branch Manager. I have urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you.
On November 6,2000, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the
Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, 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 he died
from an unfortunate mishap . 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 he 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
Republic of China, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will
revert to the ownership of the Chinese 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 the man 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
authorization 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 my private chinese email
address; s_chen1952@yahoo.com.cn
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.I await your
response via; s_chen1952@yahoo.com.cn.
Thanks and regards.
Mr. Chu Sengchen
