From Mr. Liu Shiyu
Dear Friend,

I am Mr. Liu Shiyu, Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory
Commission, I also served as President of the Agricultural Bank of
China, I received your response to my brief message, and I wish to
apologize for any inconveniences. I am getting in touch with you
regarding the estate of a deceased client with similar last name as
yours and an investment placed under our banks(Agricultural Bank of
China) management 12 years ago.
I am sure you will wonder where I got your contact details, a search on
the yellow page with your last name gave some results and I selected you
from the lot.

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 contact you independently and no one is
informed of this communication. In 2006, the subject matter, Mr. Mark
Powers made a deposit of Forty Five Million, Two Hundred and Seventy
Five Thousand Dollars ($ 45,275,000.00) only in my branch, a number of
notices were sent to him two years later for not operating the account
and we later discovered that Mr. Mark Powers had died in a plane crash.

The good thing is that late Mark Powers did not declare any next of kin
in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit.
What bothers me most is according to the laws of my country at the
expiration of 12 years the funds will be revert to the ownership of the
Hong Kong Government if nobody comes for the funds, Against this
scenery, I have all the information needed to claim these funds and I
want you to act as the next of kin to the deposit since you have the
same last name as his. There is no risk involved in this matter as I
hold the key to the funds and we are going to adopt a legitimate method
as I will have all paper works to make you the next of kin to the funds
when you provide your correct details. I want you to know that you will
be entitled to 40% of the entire funds while I get 60% as the originator
of the deal. Get back to me for more information.

Please provide me the following details below at once so that I can
arrange the necessary paper works in your names and send you copies.

1. Your Full names
2. Complete Address:
3. Telephone Number:
4. Age:
5. Sex:
6. Occupation:

Dear Friend,

A transaction of this nature which involves high volume of liquid money
(not stocks), all parties concerned must have absolute faith and trust in
one another, otherwise failure is inevitable. I will also advice that it is
by your will; I am not forcing you into this project it is your right to
accept or reject now rather than acceptance and betrayal later on. I have
given you my full trust.

However, for the success of this project to be protected I will advise that
it should be confidential, this is due to my work and also the funds in
question is highly capital intensive. I have my dignity to live up to,
perhaps you need to earn the respect and trust which I have for you,
otherwise there will be no point doing business with you if at this early
stage you are finding it difficult to trust me and trust your self, or at
least give me benefit of the doubt.

You really sound skeptical, I want to let you know that at this point I
really feel very safe working with a foreigner as there is know risk
involve You need not to worry, Come to think of it if any one should be
scared it should be me as i am the one transferring this funds to you and i
am presently still working with the government.

You should have know fear as you will be opening an offshore account with
another bank in another country in which i am going to transfer this funds
to, That means i am not transferring this funds directly to your bank
account.

You will be the next of kin to his funds, I shall be preparing all legal
document in your name.

Note
