Dear Friend,

I am David Cheng, Principal Assurance manager for the
Agricultural Bank of China.I am getting in touch with you
regarding the estate of Abbot Lewis and an investment placed
under our banks management some 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 contact you independently
and no one is informed of this communication.

Some years ago,the subject matter; Abbot came to our bank to
engage in business discussions with our private banking division.
He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 9.25 million
United States dollars, which he wished to have us invest on his
behalf.

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. In mid 2002, he instructed
that the principal sum(9.25M) be liquidated because he needed to
make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Hong Kong
and China. We got in touch with a specialist bank in China, the
Shenzhen Development Bank (SDB) who agreed to receive this money
for a fee and make cash available to Abbot. However Shenzhen
Development Bank got in touch with us last year that this money
has not been claimed.On further enquiries we found out that Abbot
was involved in an accident in Mainland China, which means he
died intestate. He has no next of kin.

What I propose is that since I have exclusive access to his file,
you will be made the beneficiary of these funds. My bank will
contact you informing you that money has been willed to you. On
verification, which will be the details I make available to my
bank, my bank will instruct SDB to make payments to you. You do
not have to have known him. I know this might be a bit heavy for
you but please trust me on this.

For all your troubles I propose that we split the money in half.
In the banking circle this happens every time. The other option
is that the money will revert back to the state. Nobody is
getting hurt; this is a lifetime opportunity for us. I hold the
KEY to these funds, and as a Chinese National we see so much cash
and funds being re-assigned daily. I would want us to keep
communication for now strictly by the above email. 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 t 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,
we should act swiftly on this. Please pardon my writing mistakes.
Please get back to me immediately

I await your response.
David Cheng.

Dear Kimberly Hickman,

Greetings to you and hoping all is well. Please i need you to verify the
following:

Your full names.
Your full address.
Your telephone number.
Any other important details.

I am in receipt of your email and i thank you very much for it. It is
important that before we proceed, i give you a more detailed discription of
whom you will be dealing with so that we are more quianted with each other.
I was born into an upper-middle class family in a village in Shandong,
Republic of China, in 1953 (April 03rd). I am the second child of a large
family with seven children, a large house and a home, which was very
hospitable and open to friends and relatives. There was a private school
which was near there where I attended my pre school and primary school also
in Shandong. As mathematics had been my best subject at school, my parents
proposed - and I accepted - studies at the Qinghua University here in China
and then went on scholarship to Hangzhou Commerce College in, where I got
my MBA in 1984 alongside Mr. Wang Yongli who was Vice President and
President subsequently of BOC Fujian Branch and then he was transferred to
BOC Hebei Branch as President. Mr. Wang assumed his current position in
November 2003.

Well, more of myself, having finished the two years course at the Hangzhou
Commerce College , where my studies included Economics and English
language, I moved to Shenzhen, China in 1989 where I became a member of the
"Political Economy Club" which had been created a year before. This was a
small gathering of trained economists who were interested in scientific
work in economics and banking. The total membership was about 20 of which 4
were graduate students.

The meetings of this club were certainly the most stimulating "seminar" one
could imagine. One of the members opened a discussion and then followed
would be a free exchange of opinions. The subjects were chiefly theoretical
and also included monetary theory and financial policies. I am a GOD
fearing Catholic Christian and I know what the value of life is, which
includes sufferings and sacrifices. I have always been the greatest friend
of truth and foe of lies. I am a banker. My expertise is to find the best
loan for my clients and deal with a lot of transactions of all magnitudes.
At this point, I would like to call you as stated in your email and furnish
you with more details and then we move ahead immediately but I must notice
as much commitment from you first, in order to make me more comfortable
with revealing in-depth and sensitive information about my business,
regardless of our being potential partners. Being in the position I am has
pushed me to take the route i am presently taking,please bear with me.

In order for us to move ahead and enable me enlighten you further on this
business and how we realize it based on carefully arranged plans, I need
you to do something for me... Kindly provide me with a brief profile of
yourself, thus kind of background introduction or any details that properly
acquaints me with your personality and help me consider your status as you
may represent very important role in this business.

Nevertheless, I appreciate your interest in this transaction and await your
corresponding email including details which I have requested in order that
I tell you more and we proceed immediately. I enjoin your confidence in
this business as I have carefully worked out my intentions to ensure that
this business is 100% safe and a success in all its ramifications as
everything will be done in most legitimate manner to avoid complications or
litigations afterwards. Please reply ASAP in utmost humility, as I look
forward to doing business with you. My main reason for trusting and going
ahead with you is because my spiritualist has endorsed you.

Thank you and God bless.

I wait to hear from asap

Dear Kimberly Hickman,

There is a tide in the affairs of men, which if taken at the floods
leads on to fortune; if omitted, all the voyages of their lives is
bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now
afloat and we must take the current while it serves or lose our
ventures forever.

Dear Friend and Partner,

I have been tidying things up hence you have not heard from me. Please note
that at this point in time, i am keeping all options open. We would decide
what is best as we progress and achieve that which we have set out to. I
really do understand how you must feel receiving my letter out of the
blues, however you must give me the benefit of the doubt afterall what do I
stand to gain in sending you a prank letter. It is most unfortunate that
the most I can give to you at this stage is my word. That means my word is
my bond. It was as a result of my research in looking for the next of Kin
to the deceased that I got your contact, please take no offence, as this
is just the start of a long and fruitful business relationship, as you will
get to see as we move on. keeping an open mind like you say is the key.

"If you can imagine it, you can possess it.
If you can dream it, you can become it.
If you can envision it, you can attain it.
If you can picture it, you can achieve it."
William Arthur Ward.

As promised find details of our intended project. The uniqueness of your
last name has made it possible for us to come together and carry out this
pending business transaction while we anticipate on sharing some decent
money. I will state the very crucial issues here so you can understand
clearly what we are going to do in this business and also as I have to
leave to attend to personal matters. Lets move forward and see what we can
achieve as partners in business. You see, someone close to me recently
became ill as a result of the earthquake and her medical examinations are
about to be initiated so I am determined to assisting where possible and
the success of this our intended transaction is extremely vital to me. I
have to take my time and prepare these details for you to understand this
our intended project. In everything one does with another there must be a
meeting of minds. Without us both seeing and assessing the situation
through the same lenses there cannot and will never be success or progress.
So as we say in cantonese "thoroughness is what is needed here".

I need you to follow and adhere to my every instruction and do exactly as I
will advice for success to be gained. You must let me direct this project
for us to have achieved the step by step anticipated procedures to ensure
the success. This is non negotiable my friend as we go into partnership. It
is when there is no leadership and no meeting of minds that there are
problems in partnership like this. Everything is going to be done in
sequence and I will imagine that the whole process should take about 1 week
before money will be in your account.

"The individual has it in him to rise above the caprices of fate.
He can if he so wills, stand foursquare to all the winds of heaven
and hell. By so doing, he influences and turns that very fate"
Mahatma Ghandi.

"When you come to the edge of all you know and are about to take a
step into what you really dont know, either of two things would
happen, you may stop and lose forever all that you could gain or
you may take that step of faith and fly for ever!"

I will be instructing a solicitor here whom I have initially contacted to
prepare all the documents in your name i.e. Affidavit of testament of WILL
including probate letters stating you as beneficiary as well as next of kin
and sole executor to his estate (which includes cash). This will then be
put in late Alfred's file and presented to my bank for verification and
immediate action. Based on my ground work, the funds transfer to you will
be approved and then authorization given to make payment to you. Please
this is very important and your total commitment is what is desired and
most communication will be done via this email address.

At this stage I will welcome any questions you have to ask so you
understand totally the seriousness of our project so feel free to ask any
further question if you want clarification in your return email. We are
going to take this matter on a step-by-step basis. However something that I
must point out to you at this stage is that there is no wrong on your part.
At the end of the day it is the Bank that will be contacting you to inform
you that money has been left for you.. You are not making the contact with
the bank so you are doing absolutely nothing wrong or taking any risk. The
only person who could have disputed this is long gone. You must understand
why there must be serious confidentiality about this whole process. The
Bank is a specialist bank, which deals with high net worth individuals and
giant corporations. I have my contact there to make sure that nothing goes
wrong. As soon as the Bank has gone through all formalities with
verification of document I put in file, they will instruct the remittance
department to make payments to you. This will be done as certain
verifications required by law have to be done but be sure all have covered.

"Wether we like it or not, a high destiny has caught us in its
grip. We may master it and shape it to our will or fail and prove
ourselves false to the opportunity that came to us."
Mahatma Ghandi.

I believe strongly what follows below,

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can
change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Margaret Mead

"Achievement requires character, discipline, united action and the
readiness to sacrifice the individual self for the larger cause."
Mahatma Ghandi.

I must however remind you that, "Loose lips sink ships"

You shall be required to reconfirm to me with some important details ie.
the following details from you is needed for the documentation process and
the documentation process has to contain your correct and exact details,

(1) YOUR FULL NAMES
(2) YOUR ADDRESS
(3) TELEPHONE NUMBER
(4) FAX NUMBER (IF ANY)
(5) COMPANY NAME (IF ANY ):
(6) ANY OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT YOU

As soon as I have made the necessary amendments you become the legal
beneficiary and the Bank will be getting in touch with you. My friend
please let us be positive and show discretion as we both make one of the
most fruitful steps of our lives. I wait your response as we commence this
business together!!
