Subject: Very discreet from Edward Abayateye

Dear prospective partner,

I am writing to you in respect of an embattled friend of mine, Mr. Bo Xilai. My name is Edward Abayateye. I am a former top management executive with the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China London branch. The bank website is http://www.icbcasia.com. I am currently an Executive Director with one of the notable banks in Republic of Benin - West Africa. When I was working with the Industrial & Commercial bank of China (London) Limited, I assisted Mr. Bo Xilai (former President of China) in handling most of his banking transactions. Because of my due diligence and honesty in handling his banking transactions, he made me his Accounts Officer and both of us became close friends.

My friend, Mr. Bo Xilai is in a difficult situation with the Chinese government and he has presented a subtle offer to me which requires the help of a financially credible partner. He wants the sum of $25million currently in a fixed-term deposit with the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China retrieved immediately for investment placement. More so, the retrieval must be made in such a way that it must not be linked to him. The fund was deposited in the name of
an existing legal entity.

Your role will be:

{1} To retrieve the funds as the beneficiary.
{2} To receive the funds into a business or private bank account.
{3} To invest and Manage the funds outside China.
{4} To invest the funds in a long term profit oriented venture (5-10% ROI/PA)
{5} To invest the funds in either of the following areas: Health, Real Estate, Hotel, Oil Sector, Construction or any other area of lucrative investment interest.

The transaction will be executed with legal documents that will grant you the beneficiary status of the funds. If you are interested, express your interest by responding to this mail. Upon my receipt of your mail, I shall send you a "Consultant Non Disclosure Agreement" for you to go through and decide whether the terms and conditions stated therein are acceptable to you so you can decide whether to proceed or not.

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Edward Abayateye
