Dear Friend,

I am Mr. Chen Jiang, Bank Manager of a Bank in China.I have urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you.

On November 6, 2004, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid
Minerals Corporation, Made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar
months, valued at US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million United States Dollars) in my
branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got
no reply.

After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers, the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation that he died from an
automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without
making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.I
therefore made further investigation and discovered that he did not declare any
kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank
and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year.

No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to 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
fund.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand
in as the next of kin to the man so that the fruits of this old man's labor will
not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.This is simple, I
will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the
attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you
in place as the next of kin.

We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and authorization of
the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.A bank account in any part
of the world that you will
provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the
beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to
share in the ratio of 50% for me and 50% for you.There is no risk at all as all
the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested,
please reply immediately via the private email address :
managerchen_jiang0074@w.cn

Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me your
confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.Please observe
utmost confidentiality, and 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.

Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address : managerchen_jiang0074@w.cn

Thanks and regards.
Chen Jiang.



 
From The Desk of: Mr Michael Rice
Director, Claims and Reconciliation
of the Foreign Operations Department
Global Express Bank Plc, London.
 
Dear Friend
 
After a serious thought and out of sympathy, 
I decided to contact you personally because 
I do not have anything against 
you but to your partner. 
I am "Mr Michael Rice", Director, Claims and 
Reconciliation of the Foreign Operations Department of the 
"Global Express Bank Plc, London in charge of all foreign Debts.
Sometime in the past, your representative  approached me 
to assist him to recover/facilitate some funds 
which was deposited with my bank.
 
This is to enable me program your full contact information into 
our central computing database so that the fund will reflect 
to your favour as the bonafide beneficiary. However, we agreed on 
the condition that your representative will pay me 
?50,000.00(Fifty Thousand British Pounds Sterling)upon 
the execution of my task.
 
After I have perfected all the avenues and the payment has now 
been influenced and approved for payment to your favour, 
your partner began avoiding me. Thereafter, he came up today with an 
affidavit from the Court authorizing for the change of your 
bank account.A new bank account information was provided by your 
partner today which bears another name as the beneficiary 
which is quite different from your already approved bank account and 
instructed that your fund be transferred to his new submitted 
bank account which he claimed to be your new bank details and that 
you have approved and authorize your fund to be transferred 
to the new banking details as follows also reconfirm the 
copy of your identity attached.
 
 
Bank: STANDARD CHARTERED
BANKAddress: 3180 DUBAI,UAE
Account Name: Placidus Denis FERNANDOPULLE
Code CCC: 0049  2613  73  2114108186
Account number: 2114108186
IBAN: ES72 0049  2613  7321  1410  8186
 
Based on his dubious attitude, I decided to delete the funds 
release transfer PIN CODE which is the Security Code of the 
fund only known to me as regards to my duty because I cannot 
be denied of my right in my own office considering the risk 
as it might affect my job,that is why you have not received 
your fund all these while. Your representative has done everything 
possible from the back doors to transfer the fund to his 
provided bank account but without success because after all his
efforts, the transfer has to be made through my office as the 
Director of Claims and Reconciliation of the Foreign Operations 
Department.I am just telling you this because I have nothing 
against you. I do not know if you have asked yourself why each 
time the release of this fund is approved,all of a sudden, 
the payment will be delayed/stopped or one problem or the other 
will come up.  If you have not asked this question or you do 
not know, this is an opportunity for you to know the truth of it all.
 
 
Why I am making this clear to you is that I understand that you 
are still making efforts to receive your fund considering the 
time and money you have spent so far. 
Now I am ready to forget the past
provided you co-operate with me.  I need your assurance that 
your so called representation will be totally kept out of this 
transaction because he is simply wicked.  
I know that he is not aware of my
approach to you,therefore, stop spending your time and 
money to him or any other person as I am the only key to 
this success. Finally, I need your promise that no person,
agent or representative will be aware of my involvement in 
this regard because of my position.Note that I am ready to 
conclude this transaction with you within Two (2) working 
days once you are ready to adhere to my directives all you 
need is to provide your Proof of Funds and pay a Cost of 
Transfer (C.O.T) to the bank for the transfer to be completed.

BANK ACCOUNT WITH US$5,000,000.00
 
We at this bank wish to congratulate and inform you 
that after thorough review of your unpaid funds in 
conjunction with the World Bank Auditors report, your 
payment file was forwarded to our bank for the immediate 
transfer of a first installment amount 
of US$5,000,000.00 to your bank account.

through hard times by  paying a lot of money to 
see to the release of your funds, which has been 
delayed by some dubious officials 
that dealt with you in the past.
 
We therefore advice that you stop further communication 
with any other group, individuals or institutions, 
since you do not have to pay any money or transfer 
fee to receive your funds as you have met 
up with the whole funds transfer requirements.
 
Should you follow our banks directives, the first 
installment amount of US$5,000,000.00 will be 
credited and reflect in your bank 
account within 3 to 4 bank working days.
