Dear Sir,
Thanks for your positive response, I got your email address from the Hong Kong Commerce and Industry on-line directory while searching for a foreign partner to execute this project together. This is where all individual and business contact is kept in Hong Kong. Please do not be offended by the manner I contacted you. Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Lu Yongzhen, (Executive Director ) of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
The main reason I contacted you is that a certain businessman made a fixed deposit in our bank, with a value of ($25,500,000.00USD). Twenty Five million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars in our bank branch in China, upon maturity several notices were sent to him without response. We later find out that the Businessman was killed in a natural disaster (EARTHQUAKE) along with his wife and only daughter that hit their home. After further investigation, it was also discovered that the Businessman declares his wife as next of kin who was also killed during the disaster. Twenty Five million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to our banking law, if the deceased funds remain unclaimed, the funds will be transferred to the Government Reserve Bank as unclaimed funds. This question was raised during the annual Board meeting last week, and I do not want the fund to go into the Federal Government Bank treasury as unclaimed funds.
The reason I contacted you is that I needed a foreign partner to help me in this project because it would be too risky to transfer these funds to my Chinese colleague. I want you to stand as a trustworthy person to receive this money when it is transferred. My suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to this Businessman so that you will be able to receive the funds. Note that anybody can be picked as next of kin as defined by will. If I am a director in a bank and for funds I manage in the private banking section of the bank say it is a deal, then you should know that I have perfected my plans for successful execution. So I have to reassure you that every modality for a successful execution was put in place before I contacted you.
However, I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin and sole beneficiary of these funds.
If interested, contact me on this email account. Due to the sensitive nature of the transaction, please it's important that we keep the confidentiality of ourselves in order to enjoy the benefit without the fear that someone else is aware. I will welcome questions from you on areas that need further clarification on this project. If you follow my instruction the transaction shall be concluded within days.
I am waiting for your response.
My best regards.
Mr. Lu Yongzhen
