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 our families. Due to my positions as being involved with the initial investigation, i cannot come forward to receive my share of the money which has been deposited in the Hong Kong branch of the bank. I do not
wish to leave the money unattended for much longer for fear that it might be discovered. I hereby solicit your assistance to help take delivery of these funds into your custody, and you will be adequately compensated with 20% of the sum. Note that the total monies involved between my colleague 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 most of my share of the funds in your country and in commercial real estate as well as low risk stocks and bonds on my behalf for a few years and my projection is to conclude transfer of funds latest 21 working days from date of receipt of the intentions to assist me. Please contact me if interested thus signifying your capability and willingness to enable me give you additional details on our proposed course of action for getting these funds to you 100% risk free. Again I look forward to doing business with you and
solicit your utmost confidentiality in this transaction. Yours faithfully, Mr. Michael Fan Chang
