Dear Friend,

I am Mr. Chen Quanyong, Bank Manager of a reputable bank in ShyhLin district, Taipei 
Taiwan, R.O.C. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.

On June 6, 1998, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals 
Corporation, (Name deliberately with held) 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 the depositor 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 were 
fruitless.

I therefore made further investigation and discovered that the depositor 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 at the rate of 19% per annum comes to 
a
total of US $60,160,176.00 (Sixty Million, One hundred and sixty thousand, One hundred 
and 
seventy six United States Dollars). 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 the depositor 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 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 for now as I shall bring you more detials 
thereafter.

Thanks and regards.
Mr. C. Quanyong.
