ear Recipient,
How are you today and business in your country. I am Shing Li, Bank
Manager of bank of Overseas,Taiwan. I would respectfully request
that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect
the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this
mail.
I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is
informed of this communication. A British Oil contractor with the
Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr.Courtney Steven made a
numbered time (Fixed) Deposit of USD30,000,000.00 for twelve calendar
months and not too long Mr. Courtney Steven died from an airplane crash.
We have launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to
alert about the situation and also to claim his estate but in his bio-data
form,
he listed no next of kin.
The world of banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those
who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. I alone have
the deposit details to back you as the next of Kin to enable us transferred
the fund away from my bank. My bank is simply awaiting instructions to
release the deposit to any party that i present as the next of Kin.
Please reply to my private Email

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. SHING LI.
