Subject: Compliment......
Dear Associate,
Thank you for giving me your time. Please be patient and read my email to you.
I am Zaohang Lin, bank manager of the Bank of China, Shenzhen branch. Prior to
this position, I was attached to Private Banking services.I am contacting
you concerning an investment placed under our banks management 4 years ago; you
are contacted independently out of investigation in the bank. I would like to
intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
In the year 1998, a certain Mr Robert Rice came to our bank to engage in
business discussions with our Private Banking Services Department. He informed
us that he had a financial portfolio of 30 million United States dollars, which
he wished to have us invest on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his
case; I then proceeded to provide numerous suggestions and advise in line with
my duties as the de-facto Chief Operations officer of the Private Banking
Services Department, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into
our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed. I
encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored
route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 600
traditional stocks and bond managers and alternative investments. Based on my
advice,we spun the money around various opportunities and made very attractive
profits margins during our first months of operation; the accrued profit and
interest at this point stood at over 34.5 million United States dollars. He
desired low risk and guaranteed returns on investments, and as such we could
not utilize the full potential of the funds.
On November 6, 2001, he requested disinvestments and directed that the funds be
deposited in a Fixed (Numbered) Deposit account in my branch for 12 calendar
months. His instructions were precisely followed to the latter and all the
funds recalled from the active market and deposited.
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 money 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.
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 private
banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain
offices and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put
together the general direction of what I am proposing.
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 tarization 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 to this email: zhglin@yahoo.com.hk
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no
interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I am not doing
anything against good conscience. I know that this may be hard for you to
understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move.
Such opportunities only come once in a lifetime. I am a family man and this is
an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for
this project and it is a task worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and
the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my
bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed
you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life.
Let's share the blessing.
Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a
meeting, soon. 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.
Thanks and regards.
Zaohang Lin.
