FROM THE DESK OF:Mr. SHING LI,
BANK OF OVERSEAS CHINESE
TAIPEI,TAIWAN
Dear Recipiant,
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. I would like to intimate you with
certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you and i will
urge you to read on.
A British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals
Corporation, Mr.Courtney Steven made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit
of $30,000,000.00 for twelve calendar months and not too long
Mr. Courtney Steven died from an airplane crash. 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;
Mr. Courtney Steven died interstate.
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.
According to the Laws of Republic of China, at the expiration of 6(Six)
years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Chinese Government
if nobody applies to claim the funds.
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 banking especially is fraught with huge
rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain
portfolios,I alone have the deposit details and they will release the
deposit to no one unless evidence of relationship with the deceased,
which I shall provide you with, is presented. I alone know of the
existence of this deposit as far as Bank of Overseas is concerned,
the bank's management has no single idea of what? the history or
nature of the deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions to
release the deposit to any party that comes forward.
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. If my offer is
of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted
you. 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.
I will always call you and please contact me only through this email
below. 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 may be, 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, we should plan a meeting, soon. In closing,
please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Upon
receiving your reply, I will then furnish you with a more comprehensive
detail of this transaction and what is required of you.
Please reply to my private Email: mr_shingli2000@yahoo.com.tw
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. SHING LI.
