DR. SANG DUCK LEE
KOREAN EXCHANGE BANK.
SEOUL,SOUTH KOREA
I am DR. SANG DUCK LEE, Auditor of KOREAN EXCHANGE BANK ,Seoul,South
Korea. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for
you.On June 6, 1999, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the SouthKorean
Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr. David Moore 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
South Korean Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. David Moore 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. David
Moore 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 South Korean,at the expiration
of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to theownership of the South
Korean 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. David
Moore 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 80% for me and 20% 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 Auditor guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested,please
reply immediately.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.
If this proposal is alright by you, kindly get back to me, Awaiting
your urgent reply.
Thanks and regards.
DR. SANG DUCK LEE

This letter is unusual in two ways.
1) It appears to be sent from South Korea and not Nigeria to give extra
credibility. In fact it was sent via satellite, so it could just as
well be sent from Nigeria.
2) You will notice that it was sent to "undisclosed-recipients:".
Normally these letters are sent to a large number of people addressed
as "Blind CC (BCC)", and to the scammer himself in the "To:"
field. In this way it appears to be a private email with just one recipient.
In this email the scammer probably forgot to send it to himself.
