[NOTE: To prove the Nigerian Bank Transfer SCAM is an equal opportunity exploiter, the Desk presents the latest country to be represented. Taiwan. IT IS A SCAM just like all the rest.
FURTHER NOTE: The letter says the account expires in five years. Evidently the SCAM SPAMMER cannot add, because the Desk just got this in its mailbox yesterday. The Five Years was up a couple of months ago. Oh Well.It is presented for reference with all errors intact as received by the Desk.
Thank you.]
MR. WOO CHONG
I am Mr. Woo Chong, Bank Manager of Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Nan Kan
branch, Taiwan, R.O.C. I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you.
On June 6, 1998, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid
Minerals Corporation, Mr. Smith Lawrence made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty
Million 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 Mr. Smith Lawrence 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 Mr. Smith
Lawrence 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 5 (five) 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 Mr. Smith Lawrence 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 notarization 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 90% for me and 10% 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 above. 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.
Thanks and regards.
Mr. Woo
