Dear Friend,
INVESTMENT/PARTNERSHIP RELATIONSHIP.

I am making this contact with you based on reliable information available to us courtsey of internet business index and confirmed by our local chambers of commerce and industry concerning your reputation. Thus we are convinced you would be capable to provide us with a solution to a money transfer transaction of US$410,400,000.00(Four Hundred and Ten Million, Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars).

SOURCE:
Toward the end of my service with Bank of China where I worked for many years, several of my colleagues and I set up companies with which we successfully secured loans for speculation in Hong Kong and Singapore stocks and real estate. We did this because it had dawned on us that we were paid barely enough to feed our families while top government officials control billions of dollars. The bank along with regulatory authorities from China and Hong Kong started an investigation into the losses of money and as a result a few of my colleagues and I went into hiding and have settled ourselves and our families. Due to our positions as being involved with the initial investigation, we cannot receive this money by ourselves or in our names at this time . Furthermore we have decided to remove this money and divide it accordingly because the investigation has died down and and we cannot leave the money unattended for much longer for fear that it might be discovered. We hereby solicit your assistance to help take delivery of this funds totalling(US$410,400,000.00) into your custody,and you will be adequately compensated with 20% of the entire sum.

It is our intention therefore having your understanding and co-operation that you invest 75% of these funds in the United States and Europe in commercial real estate as well as low risk stocks and bonds on our behalf for a few years while the balance 5% will cater for all local and foreign expenses incurred in facilitating the transfer of this funds.

Our projection is to conclude transfer of funds latest 14 working days from date of reciept of the following information by FAX: 871 762 922366 or EMAIL:chewlei@netscape.net (Your full name and address, your bankers name and address, account number, your email address, your telephone and fax numbers and a brief profile of yourself to assure us of your capability). Our perfected modalities is remittance of stated funds appearing as you or your company's entitlement to your nominated account. The requested information will enable us commence the transaction and the paperwork from here.

Please note that we would require a measure of guarantee prior to commencement, as we are hoping to build our trust on sincerity of purpose and mutual understanding. Please also do not under estimate the need for total confidentiality throughout the course of this transaction. You may use these links for some information:

Please contact me immediately you receive this mail by FAX: 871 762 922366 OR EMAIL: chewlei@asiamail.com, thus signifying your capability and willingness to enable me give you additional details on our proposed course of action for getting these funds to you 100% risk free.

FEBRUARY 4, 2002 INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS The Bank of China's Black Hole How $480 million disappeared from one of the country's biggest banks STORY TOOLS Printer-Friendly Version E-Mail This Story Related Items Table: "Stir-Frying" the Money INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS The Bank of China's Black Hole South Korea: A Nation of Digital Guinea Pigs Suddenly Europe's Bosses Are Up in Arms Regulators in China, Hong Kong and the U.S. are painfully aware that scandal is rattling Bank of China, one of the mainland's four biggest banks. One case goes right to the top. Former Chief Executive Officer Wang Xuebing is now detained for alleged misconduct in the matter of a $23 million loan. The fraud, which involves the bank's New York office, has just forced the bank to pay Chinese and U.S. authorities a $20 million fine. But scandal is not just stalking the executive suite at Bank of China. Details are now coming out of a theft at the bank that makes the Wang case look like a financial footnote. Almost half a billion dollars are missing from the bank's accounts, and police in China, Hong Kong, and Canada are trying to find the money and the bank executives who allegedly masterminded the scam. While they look, the integrity of China's banks is bound to get a serious knock just as the country enters the World Trade Organization. The thefts are raising troublesome questions about China's ability to regulate its financial system, even as that system is being thrown open to the forces of the free markets. The tale starts at Kaiping Sub-Branch of Bank of China. While Kaiping is a prosperous manufacturing town in Guangdong province, the branch itself seems an unlikely place from which to engineer a major international financial scam. Set in one of the town's only skyscrapers, the branch's empty lobby and trickle of customers make it look more like a monument to its managers' egos than a commercial enterprise. But the Kaiping Sub-Branch is now the focus of a probe involving dozens of investigators on two continents. For it was through Kaiping that a group of Chinese bank executives allegedly diverted millions from Bank of China over a nine-year period starting in 1992 and ending last October. Senior Bank of China executives believe that when the damage is toted up, the loss will total some $480 million. Only about $75 million has been accounted for so far, and much of that appears to have been lost in the crash of the Hong Kong real estate and stock markets after 1997. A Hong Kong police source says of the probe: "It's a big one." Hong Kong investigators believe that the theft involved Bank of China branch staff in Kaiping and Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong, along with accomplices in Hong Kong and Vancouver, where some of the money now resides. Four people have been arrested in Hong Kong and charged with "dealing in property known or believed to represent the proceeds of an indictable offense." Their arrests were made in October, but details of the cases have just come out in documents filed in a Canadian court. Meanwhile, Canadian police may be looking for three other suspects who Hong Kong authorities believe fled to Vancouver, including the purported mastermind of the scheme, a former Kaiping branch manager named Fan Xuchao. The Kaiping case casts a harsh light on Beijing and Hong Kong regulators, who

This offer is too big to resist. For $410,400,000 I would be able to buy 20,520 elephants, that is about 5 % of the world population of elephants !!

Dear Miss Young,

Good day to you and how was your trip hope fine.

I have been able to forward the appliction letter to the brokeage company along with all other reqiured paper work that would be needed for the tranfer of the funds to your nominateded account.i had to submite the appliction letter with out feeling your banking details into it as i did not have it,please do send me your banking details so i could send it over to the brokeage company by open off work day on monday,before the approval for the transfer of the funds would be ready.

Also as i have said before in one of my mails to you,your presence would be needed to endurse your signature in the final fund release documents so i would ask you to start getting prepared for a trip over here.

Also you have to be back home in the UNITED STATE,as i do think you would be contacted via fax so you have to be home to put your fax in order and also recive the approval letter.

My good partner we do have to put in prayers that approval should be granted for the transfer of the funds to your account,do i have done my home work very well.i await your responce and your account details so i could send it on time before the approval letter is ready as that would cause a set back to this transaction if not recieved in the APEC office.

Your Partner,
Chew Lei.

Dear Miss Young,

Good day to you and hope all is well with you,last week i did send you a mail which had ask you to forward your nominatted account details to me wish you would wish the funds to be transferd into but till date i have not recieved any mail from you.

This account information is very important to this transaction as it would be of no use to us if you are not able to provide an account detail where the funds can be transfered,and also i wish to ask you that you are always not at home in the U.S.A. would it be possible for you to recieve the approval letter and other documents where ever you are as your presence not been in the US might course great chaos to this transaction

Dear Chew,

Thank you for your mails. I can see that everything is going according to plan. This is my bank in Holland: Bank account xxxx.

I dont understand your panic about the missing bank account information. First of all, you never asked for it, and secondly the bank wont need it until monday, when they open again.

You dont have to worry about faxes sent to me while I am travelling. I can receive them via my laptop, so as long as I can get to the Internet, everything is fine.

Have a nice day, ...

My Friend and Partner,

Good day to you and how did you enjoy your weekend hope fine.

This morning my time,i rose up early and i did make it on time to the brokeage company to submit your account details,and i was told by one of the officials that i had just come in on time as they where about sending over to the APEC(Asian Pacific Group)office for final verification and approval from the APEC Office before the funds could be transfered into your account.(This office is in charge of investigating the sources,granting of approval and all other official procedures of all large amount of funds been transfered out of asia).

Once more i would say to you that we have to take this situation very serious and be more prayerful for approval to be granted for the transfer of the funds to your account as our only bareer would be from the APEC OFFICE.So my partner you could see why i worry alot as i would not want a situation where we would make a mistake and that would now cause a hitch to this transaction and all i have worked for all my life.

Please do kep me posted as soon as you get the approval letter and also send me a copy of it so i could let you know what would be the next step to take for us to come to a sucessful conclusion of this transaction in the shortest possible time.

Miss Young do give me a call as soon as you recieve this mail.follow these instruction for you to be able to get through to my phone ,dial 871 as country code and then 762 922365. as area code and phone number and you would get through to me as we need to talk at this stage of our venture.

I await your response and phone call.do have a blessed new week.

Your Partner,
Chew Lei.

Hi Chew, I am glad to hear that everything is going as planned. I will let you know when the bank has contacted me. Regarding your telephone, I still cant call you. As soon as I have dialed the countrycode, the telephone dies. Maybe they have blocked that countrycode, also too much fraud from certain countries? If you think that it is imperative that we talk, get yourself a plain old-fashioned telephonenumber. Hope to hear from you soon again, ...

Dear Miss Young,

Good day to you my very good friend and hope all is well with you.i do not think you would be contact via email as most offices prefare the use of fax in communicating with thier clients so please do note your fax number : xxxx which you sent me was what i filled in the appliction form so you have to make sure that number is in good working operation or else all our efforts would have been wasted and we have to start all over again, if that number is bad as they wont be able to contact you.

As i have said concerning the use of an APEC certified attorney,you have to trust me on this issue as they are the only persons allowed by the APEC OFFICE to be representatives to there clients,we wont be able to use my attorney as he is not a quilified APEC attorney and so he can not represent you as i have already spoken with him before now and he gave me a full procedure to be able to hire a service of an APEC certified Attorney,from his guidelines he told mr\e that after you most have recieved the approval letter you would right back to the APEC OFFICE,informing them you wont be able to be present at the endursement excercise and that they should please assign one of there Certified attorney to you so he would represent you.do note your appliction to the APEC office should be of a good and undoubtable excuse or else the appliction for an attorney wont be granted.i would like you to note in your appliction that it was due to your ill health,you wont be able to travel out side the united states at this time.

Dear Miss Young,

Good day to you and how are you doing hope fine.I am very happy you are back home now as we would be able to concentrate and be very fast about concluding this transaction in the next few days.
Now all our worries have been brought to an end as the approval letter has been granted so i urge you to act very fast as we are running out of time,because every appropriate office that would be handling our venture would soon be going on the end of year break,and if you dont act fast our funds wont be transfered to your account this last payment quarter of the year due to the forth coming working break of next month,and then we have to wait till the begining of next year opening quarter which i think is very unhealthy for me and our venture.
so please write back to the APEC OFFICE via fax,informing them you wont be able to appear before the office for the endursement of the final fund release documents due to ill health as you are not strong enough to travell now,and that they should assign you one of their CERTIFIED ATTORNEYS to appear before the office.
My good friend you have to make this sacrifies for the sake of or relationship and partnership,i also found out that you have to pay some up front for the attorneys service,and also for the endursement exercise too.so i ask for your noble help for this fees as i wont be able to come up with it.
Note that you have to send this fax request to the fax number: 0852 301 01679 as stated in the approval letter, today so it would be recieved by open of working day on tommorrow monday.
I await your urgent response abd have a blessed new week.

I would have love to write and send the fax to the APEC office but as you could see it would arose suspecion on our part which is not good for us and this venture.

Well if you feel and say writting such a fax is against your rule you could send them a fax giving a reason like your travellers passport is expired so you wont be able to travel over or some story which is of good reason,so you would need them to assign you an APEC CERTIFIED ATTORNEY to stand for you at the endursement excercise.

Chew is getting tired of me, but I also think that he is annoyed with his fellow scammer that is very slow in operating the "APC office". The story continues on page 2, where the lawyer and his elephant-sized fee is introduced.
