Just got this in my email. I guess the scams have moved. A real Joke
FROM THE DESK OF:
MR. THOMAS CHEN.
BANK OF OVERSEAS CHINESE.
NORTH SHYN LIN DISTRICT.
TAIPEI,TAIWAN.
I am Mr. Thomas Chen, Bank Manager, Bank Of Overseas Chinese North Shyn Lin
District, Taipei, Taiwan. I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you.
On June 6, 1999, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid
Minerals Corporation, Mr. David Abel made a Fixed Deposit of the sum of
US$10,000,000.00 (Ten Million United States Dollars) which accumulated to the
sum of US$20,160,176.00 (Twenty Million, One hundred and sixty thousand, One
hundred and seventy six United States Dollars for twelve calendar months in my
branch.
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. David Abel 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 Abel did not
declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank
Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$20,160,176.00 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.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as
the next of kin to Mr.David Abel 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. 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.
Thanks and regards,
Mr.Thomas Chen.
