Hello

Thanks for responding to my e-mail message, I am aware that this is certainly not a conventional way of approach to establish a relationship of trust, but you will realize the need for my action. My name is Mr. James Wu, Executive Officer, Director of Treasury. (FEIB) Eastern International Bank. I got your contact information from worldwide public records. I am writing to you in vc regard to my deceased client, Eng. Alexandra, an Oil Magnate who lived in China for Twenty-Eight years, he died along with his immediate family during the Tsunami catastrophe which occurred December 2004.

Before his demise, he deposited the sum of US$47,500,240.00 (Forty-Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand, Two Hundred and Forty United States Dollars) placed under our Bank Management. The institution being aware of his death, have mandated me to present a member of his family (heir/inheritor) or Next of kin to make Claims of his funds with our bank otherwise, it will be forfeited, seized or confiscated by corrupt government official reverts to the treasury of the China Ministry as unclaimed.

This is because, in accordance with the Chinese law, such fortune is automatically bequeathed to the government if there is no heir or Next of kin to the deceased that would lay claim to the fortune within the specified time. However, this law is unjust and inhuman as it often creates an avenue for the top officials of some financial institutions to divert such fortunes for their own selfish use. On that ground, I decided to search for any of my late client's relative which has proved abortive as he did not declare officially any Next of kin or beneficiary.

I know you might not be related but after countless efforts to locate direct relative to my late client and a (3) Three months final notice from the Bank to present a beneficiary to the fund and failure to meet up with this deadline means the fund will be liquidated to the Bureau as unclaimed fund and that I forbid happening. Against this backdrop, I decided to contact you to join me to put claims on this deposit before it`s forfeited to the authorities.

My suggestion to you is, I will like to present you as the Next of Kin and beneficiary to this deposit since you are both foreign nationals by virtue of my position as the Executive Officer, Director of Treasury, I will now place your name as the Next of kin/Beneficiary to my late client and I will prepare the relevant legal documentation that will assist to facilitate the release of the fund to you without any breach of the law.

I have worked out all modalities to complete the transaction successfully, be rest assured that the transaction is 100% legal and risk-free. Once the vault is released to you, we shall share in the ratio of 50% for me, 45% for you while remaining 5% will be set aside to cover any expenses incurred by both parties during the cause of securing this deposit. This 5% will be disbursed based on all expenses incurred by you and I if well documented and communicated.

There is a lot to benefit from the world of banking down here in Asia, this is not an illegal transaction because I have my name to protect after 36years in the banking sector. You may not know this but people like me who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector down here in Asia. we are not criminals in what we intend doing today, I do not find it against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move than allowing funds been confiscated by corrupt government officials for their own selfish interest when there are dying kids out there in desperate need of financial assistance.

Such opportunities like this only come but once in a lifetime. If you will not work with me let me know and I will move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide my family with new opportunities. The reward for this project makes it a task worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting OFFICE.

I alone know this money came about as far (FEIB) Trust is concerned because I was the account officer and investment manager of our late customer Estate before is sudden death, the Bank's Management has no single idea of the history or nature of the funds. I should be able to give you full details of the transaction and how these funds came about when our late customer was alive If only my proposal is acceptable to you

I await your urgent response

Regards

Mr.J. Wu
