MR. SIEU WANG
CHINATRUST COMMERCIAL BANK.
NAN KAN BRANCH, TAIWAN
REPUBLIC OF CHINA
I am Mr. Sieu Wang, Bank Manager of Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Nan Kan branch,
Taiwan, R.O.C. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition foryou.
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 ofprobate/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. Sieu Wang

This is to acknowledge the receipt of your mail.
Like you are already aware,my names are Mr. Sieu Wang,and I did contacted you
in respect of a perticular account in my bank and which am in perfect control
of at the moment but if I dont act very fast and reasonably,the Government will
confisicate the account and like they have always done in the past,some good
for nothing corrupt Government officials will use there official influnce to
steal the funds and have it transferred from the Government account to there
own private account.It is on this note I sincerely wish to seek your assistance
genuenly,if only your mind as a human being will permit you to be fair and
sincere and to be very open minded with me as I intend to be with you.
Note that I am a seasoned banker who knows the intricacies involved in both
local and international banking laws as the case may be,and as a result of
this,in perfecting plans to successfully have this funds transferred,I must
abide by,and subject my plans to the rules and regulations of United
Nations,I.M.F,as well as the World Bank on International monetary transfer,and
this should be in accordance with the international act on banking institution.
Therefore, I will handle all aspects with my bank to release the funds in your
favour for the funds to leave here to the correspondence bank. I will be the
one to secure the change of beneficiary documents in your favour as all
modalities have been put in place to achieve this goal,while you on your part
should be ready to play your full partnership role,you must be ready to make
physical and financial contribution towards bring this transaction to a very
successful completion if the need be.
Once this documents are presented to my bank, an approval for the fund release
that I shall influence will be granted for the funds to be paid to you through
the correspondent bank, as I shall specify in the beneficiary applications for
transfer approval,I will specify that the funds should be released to you
through a correspondent or affiliate financial institution because if you have
to receive the funds from my bank directly,you may be subjected to the normal
regorious banking burocratic funds release proccedures because of the amount of
money involved.
Trust is something that has to be developed over a period of time,so lets hope
that as we continue to communicate on this our mutual interest of benefit,it
will develop between the both of us and most especially,since we already know
what we want and are prepared to work towards actualizing it,I dont see any
reason why we can not have this in your account as soon as we both require.
Beinformed that am to be contacted only through this new mail address for
security reasons and any time I send you mails, it must start with our new
security code which will be( S .W 02) and please,when ever you send me
mails,you should always remember to use this CODE. I will forward to you all
the required vital information,necessary steps to be taken and advice you on
how we are to commence as soon as I receive your response to this mail.
Please, be informed that I am 54 years old and I have put in over 19 years of
these in to the banking industry and as such I would not want to compromise my
career. Keep this highly confidential.
If I could do this alone I will not have contacted you, I believe that I have
been explicit to the point,you shall be duly compensated as earlier stated in
my previous mail to you.
Very important to inform you at this stage that this fund is free of drug and
terrorist money as well as money laundering.
To enable us facilitate a very successful completion of this transaction,it is
important we check and respond to each others mails promptly.Looking forward to
holding a telephone meeting with you as soon as you provide to me your direct
telephone number. Am not giving out my telephone number for security rasons as
it is very possible for anybody to BUG this phone system because in the place I
work,from the rank of a senior accountant and above,their communications both
at home and office are always BUGGED.
I expect your sincere and swift reply.
Regards,
Mr. Sieu Wang.

I apologise for forgetting to use the code last time; this email certifies that
the previous one was true and from me.
We should also get to know each other a bit better of we are going to be
business partners. I have enclosed a photo of myself. Please send a
photo of yourself; to ensure that nobody have tampered with the email and
changed the photo, you should get a fresh photograph taken of you holding up a
sign with our password on it. That way I can be certain that it really is
the photo you attached. Also, the image should be large and clear so that
we can both be sure that it was not tampered with.
As I began to mention last time, I had several friends during my
adolescence - Choo Wing Wang, Soo King Wang and Lee King Wang. Later in
my life, I finally also discovered Foo King Wang. Yes indeed, they were
all such a great comfort to me and always made me feel warm and loved inside
(especially Foo King). We were one great family of loving and I never
felt alone once everybody knew I loved Wangs so much.
Hence, I will always feel at peace with a person with that name - actually
that is a slight lie, I really feel slightly excited at the mention of Wang and
my inner lips moisten into a smile. The only other name which has ever
had a similar response is Sook Tit, who was another dear friend during my
formulative years (but not nearly much as my deep desire for Wangs in my life).
All of my regards,
Ima.

Thanks for your update. As you can see, i have just call for the services of an
arthoney of will start with the preparations of the Re-documentation of the
Probate i.e the official declaration of the wil in your favour as the next of
kin to the desease person. So, i will like you to reconfirm to me that all
the information you gave has to be used for the re-documentation and if there
is anything you have to change there, you better do immediately since
after the procurement, there is no way we can alter anything again cos' as
soon as the documents as be precure by us, the bank will immediately
forward them to our affiliate branch in Amsterdam when you will
be contacted by the branch as soon as they received your file at
their office.
Ima, in that case, your telephone/fax number is needed for the
Re-documentation of the wil since that is the only means the affiliate
bank will contact you as soon as they get your file on their table.Just as
i said before that later by monday, i shall let you know how far i have
gone with the Re-documentation so that we can know if we will be able to get
the funds transfered into your account before the week is going to run out .
Please, send your tele/fax number immediately.

It is not wise that my phone or fax numbers be used - I am hardly ever in the
office and I was under the impression that we are supposed to be doing this
relatively covertly.
I travel so extensively that it is more likely that I am away from the office
than in it. Thus, the only reliably way of contacting me is email.
Just explain that to them and they should relent on their demand for phone/fax
numbers.
Also, I requested a certifiable photograph of you so I know who I am dealing
with; remember that you must be holding up a sign with our pass-phrase on it
("I love COQUE") so that I can be sure it is you and not an imposter. The
photograph must be large and clear so that we can be certain that there was no
tampering by potential external parties.
BTW, I forgot to mention that I also discovered Wang King at college and Wang
King has been a friend during troubled times ever since.
May the spirit on Onan be with you,

(S.W 02)
This is to inform you that so far I have been doing every thing
possible to ensure we receive the full documentation of our transaction before
today,but this is not possble because of my inability to meet up
financially,but plans are on the way to facilitate the completion of this
proccess as soon as I can.
The exact situation is that about $32,000.00 is required to provide
perfect documentation for this transaction,but what I had in mind was about
$25,000.00. What I did was to apply for a loan from my bank because I dont
intend to bother you with the financial end of this stage.My bank gave me
a soft loan of $20,000,though I asked for the sum of $35,000.00,what they
did was to approve only $20,000 and reminded me that as a senior staff of the
bank,the maximum amout of money that can be released to me as loan is $20,000.
As soon as I got the loan last week,I immediately emptied my personal savings
account from which I was able to realise about $7,000.which gave me a total of
about $27,000 and with this amout I have been working on the documentation of
this project, having in mind that an additional $5,000 will be needed before am
able to perfect work on this documents but what I have been able to do now is
push the proccess as far as I can as at today my time and left it at that.
Since am not able to obtain any more money in form of loan from my bank because
of my borrowing limit which I've reached at the moment,and equally do not want
to bother you with this problem,am already discussing with a very good friend
of mine whom am very optimistic and positive will be able to raise a reasonable
amout for me as loan if not the entire balance I need to finalize this stage of
the transaction.Am sure to have his final words by tomorrow and this will
enable me know where to start from ,but like I mentioned before,am very sure he
can not let me down because we have come a very long way and I've equally
always been of great asisstance to him when ever he was in need before
now,this is where my confidence in dealing with him lies.
As you are awear,it is this documentation that will transfer the status of the
funds beneficiary as the legal next of kin to you,so once this
stage is completed,the funds is as good as being in your account because after
I would have had the documents approved, an affiliate bank to my bank, that
will act as a go between you and my bank will immediately contact you to the
effect of your approved funds that is ready to be transferred into your
nominated account without delays,and my friend,that will be the start of a new
life for the both of us,please be very patient and have full confidence in me
that am good at what am doing and as a result will do it very well,just be
patient,sincere and open minded with me as this is the only
way to success in this project,I give you my 100% success assurance in this
transaction.
I will discuss with my friend tomorrow about the balance $5,000 I need to close
this stage of our transaction and get back to you.
Please,hold me back on receipt of this mail.I do be expecting your
mail.Awaiting your immediate response.
Untill then,Stay blessed & my
Sincere regards to you & your family,

I received an email without the appropriate pass-phrase in it so will not go
into gory detail here until your official identity is confirmed.
[Let's make the fool go through more effort; after all, he forgot the agreed
password.]
I will say, however, that the remaining money is not an issue if it is truly
you that requires it (as opposed to someone pretending to be you - I just
cannot be sure without the correct password security).
That said, only the true Wang, who is dear to my heart, will know what photo to
provide me as proof. On receipt of that photo, as per my previous,
explicit and clear instructions, $7000 will be wired to the appropriate party/s
(Note: $7000 is the sum still required and an additional amount to help cover
any incidental costs). [An extra juicy, fat worm of an
incentive.]

I still not understand why you are requesting for my passport since is going to
be of a risk to me as a bank manager of a branch. As you can see, i
suppose to be the person to worry about your identity but not you since am the
person contacting you for the transfer of a huge sum of money like this into
someone you have not met before now without any further investigation about the
person.
Well, i have notting to worry about since this is not my first time of going into
transactions like this . i have done a transaction that worth more than this
with one Ramsly Mike in America far back 1996 and everything go smothly with us
till we finally concluded and after everything, i fly down to America without
any delay to share into percentage. My dear friend/partner, this is not a
matter of joke and already, all the necessary documents has been done with your
name as the beneficiary next of kin to the decease person and your file is now
with the affiliate bank in Amsterdam who as soon as you respond with trust and
faith to this mail, i shall immediately send you the affilliate bank contact so
that you can contact the bank to know if actually your file is with them.
Let me make this clear to you that i don't need your money for any reason all i
want for you is to help me transfer this funds via online banking system by
opening an online/offshore account with the affiliate bank to make an onward
transfer of the said funds into your nominated account in your country before i
shall now travel down to meet you so that we can share into percentage as
agreed before now. I may also likely go into investing my own part of the money
in your country by making you as my oversea manager if you are willing to do
that. Once again, this transaction is 100% risk free on both parties.
I shall await your immediate respond so that we can conclude with this on or

I recieved two messages from you so for the sake of simplicity, I shall answer
both at the same time...
BUT FIRST, it is important that you respond confirming that the last THREE
emails I receeived were indeed from you! It was your idea to instigate a
protocol where each email would contain a password/phrase that only we would
know so that no external influences could "tap" into our private dealings and
transmit their own, fraudulent information. [As opposed to
yours...] I provided you with a three word sentence as this
pass-code. None of the last three messages (supposedly) from you
contained that pass-code.
Anyway, normal progamming resumes...
Trust me when I say that I am *not* treating this as a joke. [Actually,
I am, fucknuts, but you don't know that yet!] That said, because
I am treating this proposed transaction with such deadly seriousness, I would
be remiss by not doing some due diligence. You transmitting to me a
large, clear photograph of yourself holding a clear sign with the
above-mentioned pass-code on it is proof to me that you are indeed who you say
you are.
As soon as you do this, then I will be most happy to open whatever internet
account that you deem fit, et cetera, et cetera, yadda, yadda, yadda.
[Like hell!] I also accept that you may incur costs processing my
simple request and am happy to pay for any costs incurred by you after receival
of said photograph.
