From: PRIVATE MAIL <1inf0@easymail.hu>
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 10:59:30 +0200
Subject: PROPOSAL
Dear Friend,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Liang Wang Nguyen a credit officer of
the Lek Yuen Branch, Bank of China. I got your details from the e-business
directory in the Shatin Central Library, Hong Kong.
I have a mutually beneficial enterprise to suggest to you.
Since 2000 The government of china has injected at least $45 billion into
Construction Bank and Bank of China merger as part of a pilot scheme to reform the
sector and prepare for the launch and sale of IPO’s.(http://www.cbiz.cn/NEWS/
showarticle.asp?id=2104)
However these mergers have not gone as successfully as anticipated, as a lot of
assets and accounts were under-valued and as such there are unclaimed funds in
different accounts locally and internationally.
Several attempts have been made by various bank officials to divert these funds
and also to misappropriate them but this has resulted in their execution because
they have tried to make these transfers without the total collaboration of their
banking units and all relevant heads of departments of the different banking units
involved.

Since 2003 an audit of Financial Assets has been on-going and a special committe
was set up to further the co-operate governance objectives of the bank, this
committee is made up of various individuals of this bank. During our investigation
and audits it was discovered that majority of the funds placed in the bank were
not properly declared and a certain Finance Government official also placed
Government Funds in the bank without going through the appropriate deposit
procedures as he was preparing to divert and siphon the funds but our
investigations made him and his accomplices in the bank, disappear into thin air.
Thus the funds are lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim
them.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner
to stand as the bona-fide owner of these funds totaling HK$100,000,000.00(One
Hundred Million Hong Kong Dollars) The equivalent of US$13,000,000.00 (Thirteen
Million US Dollars) so that you will be able to receive this funds.
Please be rest-assured that all the necessary and required documents to prove the
above are being handled and managed by my sub-committee and as such we have
nothing to worry about, with regards securing the documentation to effect the
release of the funds to you.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a legalized
method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.
Once the funds have been transferred to you we shall share in the ratio of 75% for
my team and 25% for you. Please note that this first transaction is to be used as
a trial run as there will be more transactions of this nature in the future, upon
the successful execution of this transaction.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue
and reach me through my personal email address of ng.liang@yahoo.com.hk
Best Regards,
Mr. Liang Wang Nguyen
