Mr. David Yau,
Audit/Credit Control Manager,
China Citic Bank,
Address: 106, Hungfu Road,Nancheng District,Dong Guan-China.

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Mr. David Yau, I am the head of Audit/Credit Control
department of China Citic Bank.

I was wondering if you received my last email? I sincerely seek to
present you as the next of kin to a late client, who left behind the
sum of Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United Sates dollars in a
fixed deposit account. Though, he left a clause that the fund belongs
to his business associate, so I have documents that would give you the
legal right to make this claim as the business associate of the
deceased.

Please reach me asap for details: Please Reply:
[email protected]

Best Regards,

Mr. David Yau.
Audit/Credit Control Manager,
China Citic Bank,
106, Hungfu Road,Nancheng District,Dong Guan-China.

Hola Regina ,Espero que estés bien (y tu familia también) en estos tiempos tan complicados.

Espero que todo marche bien por allí. Me pongo en contacto nuevamente ya que en su momento estabas con algunas necesidades de IT, pero finalmente no terminamos de avanzar.Mi idea era averiguar si estabas con alguna necesidad en este momento y si podíamos serles de utilidad.
Como crecimos muchísimo recientemente, hemos contratado muchos Software Engineers por lo que quizás sea más fácil poder ayudarlos.
Si existe alguna necesidad actual, seguramente pueda enviarte algunos perfiles disponibles para tus posiciones abiertas. También podemos hacer un llamado para conversar más en detalle. Qué te parece? Gracias y saludos, Michael Scranton
