Subject: Very discreet from James Blake

Dear prospective partner,

My name is Mr. James Blake. I am working with the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China UK branch as one of the top management executive. Our bank website is http://www.icbcasia.com. I am writing to you in respect of an embattled friend of mine, Mr. Bo Xilai. Mr. Xilai is the former President of China who was jailed by a Chinese Court last year over allegation of self enrichment, corruption and funds embezzlement while in office.

when Mr. Xilai was still in power as the President of China, I was incharge of most of his banking transactions with our branch here in the Uk. Because of my due diligence, service and honesty to him, he made me his Accounts Officer and both of us became very close.

Mr. Xilai has presented a subtle offer to me through his legal representative in China which requires the help of a financially credible partner to complete. 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 invest and Manage the funds outside China.
{3} To invest the funds in a long term profit oriented venture (5-10% ROI/PA)
{4} To invest the funds in any 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, confirm your interest by responding to this mail and sending me your full names, your permanent address, your private telephone number(s) and your occupation. Upon my receipt of your mail, I will send you a "Consultant Non Disclosure Agreement" for you to go through and decide whether to proceed or not.

I look forward to receiving your earliest reply. However, if for any reason you are not in a position to assist, kindly disregard this mail.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr. James Blake
