Dear friend,
Thank you very much for your response to my letter. I have resolved to let you into further details of this pending project but not without drawing your attention to the need for strict privacy/secrecy in a transaction of this magnitude.
As I write I hope and pray that the good Lord will guide you and give you direction with an open heart so that you will be of good friendship. This pending project requires absolute commitment from both of us.
We should work as a team, and you have to follow my Instructions
Please understand that I am a very careful person more than capable of completing this transaction. I will not involve myself in anything risky that is why I insist on Secrecy at all stages.
I will also guarantee you that neither your interest nor that of your company shall be brought to odium by reason of your involvement in this project; you can count absolutely on this.
Details
We had a foreign customer who deposited a huge sum of money, Twenty-six million, five hundred thousand United States dollars (US$26.5) with our bank, who later died as a result of a plane
crash. Before his death, he did not present any heir/next of kin.
Since the death of this customer, I personally have watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim these funds.
On this note I decided to seek for whose name shall be used as the next of kin.
In view of this, I got your contact through my country抯 foreign trade mission after I was convinced by providence that you could assist.
The request of the foreigner as a next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and no person in Taiwan can stand as the next of kin to our late customer. I posit that US$5 million of this money will be for you as a foreign partner for providing an account, while the rest will be for me, thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement as I am almost due for retirement.
Therefore, to facilitate the immediate transfer of the fund to your account as arranged, you must apply first to my bank as a relation to the deceased indicating your private telephone number, and fax number for easy communication as to where the money will be remitted.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send you by fax or e-mail the next step to take. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fear as the whole required arrangement has been made for the transfer legally; I will guide
you through.
I await your response
Yours respectfully,
Seng Cheong
