Good day,

I am Wang Yan,a staff of Private Banking Services at the Bank of
China(BOC) United Kingdom. I am contacting you concerning our customer
and,
an investment placed under our banks management 4 years ago.

I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail
confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a
result of this mail. I contacted you independently of our
investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like
to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to
you.

In 2003, the subject matter; ref: bb/boc/bank/0012 came to our bank to
engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services
Department. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 8.35
million United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over
(invest) on his behalf.

I was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in
line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the
Private Banking Services Department, especially given the volume of funds
he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any
investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider various growth
funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to customers is
to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks
and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments. Based on
my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities
and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued
profit and interest stood at this point at over 10 million United States
Dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the
fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments. In mid
2005, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an
urgent investment requiring cash payments in Europe. He directed that I
liquidate the funds and had it deposited with a firm. I informed him that
the bank would have to make special arrangements to have this done and in
order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 %
deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory charges. He
complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him
the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cash movement across
borders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I
contacted my affiliate in and had the funds available. I undertook all the
processes and made
sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds
deposited in a security consultancy firm, the firm is a specialist
private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and
blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake
transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly
private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and
well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was
deposited . He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of
his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication
we had, this transpired around 9th October, 2005.

In January last year, we got a call from the security firm informing us
that the inactivity of that particular portfolio. This was an astounding
position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I
managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the
deposit ,and I could not understand why he had not come forward to claim
his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate him I immediately passed the
task of locating him to the internal investigations department of the bank
of china. Four days later, information started
to trickle in,apparently he was dead. A person who suited his description
was declared dead of a heart attack in Canne, South of France. We were
soon enough able to identify the body and cause of
death was confirmed. The bank immediately launched an investigation into
possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and
also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private
banking affairs, those who patronize our services usually
prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional
processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the
field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will
know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors
use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives
the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held
at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and
as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking clients
apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most
cases leave wills in our care, in this case; he died intestate.

In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed
away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine
who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the
past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our
private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the
problem. The investigation did not ever yield any result My official
capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the
investigation and the only party to receive the results of the
investigation. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of
what the
prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late
beneficiary of the deposit. According to practice, the firm will by the
end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to
BOC, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the
deposit back to BOC. This will result in the money entering the BOC
accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the
Private Banking Services Department. This will not happen if I have
my way.

What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want
you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world
who finds the internal politics of the banking world berrational.
The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for
those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You
should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I
propose. There is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited , I alone have the deposit
details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them
to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as BOC
is concerned, the transaction with our deceased customer concluded when I
sent the funds to the firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to
the file are just customer services and due process. They are simply
awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes
forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent great amounts
of money trying to track this man's family; they have investigated for
months and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end.

My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to give instruction
for the release of the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation.
Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share
the money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the
next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the
proceeds 50/50.

I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would
have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming
the deposit. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you
within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing
of the file relating to the customer I will then officially communicate
with firm and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these
two things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have firm
direct the funds to another bank with you as account holder. This way
there will be no need for you to think of receiving the money from the
firm. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions.

I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no
interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you
do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you,
delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my
career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this
but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable
situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and
what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you
to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this
move. Such opportunities only come ones' way once in a lifetime. I
cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control
of my destiny. These chances won't pass me by. I ask that you
do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let
me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and
this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a
reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have
evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to
work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this
situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you
into the center of relevance in my life. Let's share the blessing.

If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same
email account. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this
process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact
me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project.
I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official
phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email
account. Contact me only through through this email address. I do not
want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure
lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of
customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please
observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family
man; I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a
measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that
nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come
easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned
from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be
of one accord, send me your response on this E-mail:
[email protected], immediately to enable us commence this line of
discussion.

I await your response.
Wang Yan.


TIP: If you are running a scam, probably shorter is better...........

Pablo you blew it! "I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail
confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a
result of this mail." and then you go and post it on a discussion board?

Man if you don't want this once in a lifetime money grab then I'm all over it......

You need to write him back and explain that you're in the same situation ..and that he could help you out if he could handle unloading some of your windfall to worthy recipients.
 
I have this guy who keeps contacting me b/c I made the mistake of actually replying that I'd like to see his ID first. He obviously didn't see the humor in the pseudonym I used, Richard Cranium. So now I get a "Dear Richard, we must act quickly" letter about once a week.

edit: Here's the text of the email I got:
