Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL

Good day,

I am Wang Yan, a staff of Private Banking Services at the Bank of China (BOC) United Kingdom. I am
contacting you concerning our customer and, an investment placed under our banks management 4 years
ago.

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. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would
be of interest to you.

In 2004, the subject matter; ref: bb/boc/bank/0012 came to our bank to engage in business discussions
with our Private Banking Services Department. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of $8.370
million three hundred and seventy United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on
his behalf.

I was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto
chief operations officer of the Private Banking Services Department, especially given the volume of funds
he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed. I
encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to
customers is to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers
of alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made
attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at this point at
over 10 million United States Dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low
risk guaranteed returns on investments. In mid 2006, he asked that the money be liquidated because he
needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Europe. He directed that I liquidate the
funds and had it deposited with a firm. I informed him that the bank would have to make special
arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make
a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the
charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us.
Cash movement across borders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my
affiliate in and had the funds available. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise
instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited in a security consultancy firm, the firm is a specialist
private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle
valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly
private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with
instructions, the money was deposited. He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival
from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 9th October,
2005.

In January last year, we got a call from the security firm informing us that the inactivity of that particular
portfolio. This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed the
private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the deposit, and I could not understand why he
had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate him I immediately passed the task
of locating him to the internal investigations department of the bank of china. Four days later, information
started to trickle in, apparently he was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a
heart attack in Canner, South of France. We were soon enough able to identify the body and cause of
death was confirmed. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin
to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private
banking affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of
detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the field of
private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely
held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also
gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that
there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking
clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case;
he died intestate.

In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own
investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has
for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation
affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. The investigation did not ever yield any result My
official capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive
the results of the investigation. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the
prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit. According to
practice, the firm will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to BOC,
failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit back to BOC. This will result in the
money entering the BOC accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the Private
Banking Services Department. This will not happen if I have my way.

What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is
only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The
world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and
oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I
propose. There is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited, I alone have the deposit details and they will release the
deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as
BOC is concerned, the transaction with our deceased customer concluded when I sent the funds to the
firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process. They
are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes forward. This is the situation.
This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track this man's family; they have investigated for
months and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end.

My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to give instruction for the release of the deposit to
you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with
you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you.
We share the proceeds 50/50.

I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to
me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you
within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to the customer I will
then officially communicate with firm and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these two
things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have firm direct the funds to another bank with you as
account holder. This way there will be no need for you to think of receiving the money from the firm. We
can fine-tune this based on our interactions.

I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you
should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to
you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not
approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of
comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find
against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates
that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones' way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance
pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny. These chances won't pass me by. I ask that
you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but
do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There
is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk
I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this
situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life.
Let's share the blessing.

If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same email account. If you give me positive
signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via
official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me
through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me
only through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not
secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality
Management Policy. Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man; I have
a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know
within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a
platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my
confidence. If we can be of one accord, send me your response on this email immediately to enable us
commence this line of discussion. My E-mail:wangyans02@yahoo.co.jp

I await your response.

Wang Yan.
