Subject: A BUSINESS PROPOSAL OF INTEREST.

Dear Friend,

Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. John and I work for the 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.

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 2004 an audit of Financial Assets has been on-going and a special committee 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 totalling 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 his 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 affect 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 endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue and reach me through my personal email for now; johnw1001@blumail.org

Best Regards,


Mr. John.
