>Hello!

FROM THE DESK OF:

MR. CHONG LEE
UNION BANK OF TAIWAN
KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN
REPUBLIC OF CHINA
Please respond only toEmail: [email protected]



I am Mr. Chong Lee, Bank Manager of Union Bank of Taiwan, Kaohsiung,
Taiwan, R.O.C. I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for
you.

On June 6, 1998, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese
Solid
Minerals Corporation, Mr. Smith Lawrence made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty
Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine
notification
to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a
reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the
Chinese
Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. Smith Lawrence died from an
automobile
accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without
making
a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.

I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Smith
Lawrence did not declare any kin or relations in all his official
documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one
will ever
come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Republic of China, at
the
expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership
of the
Chinese Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand
in as the next of kin to Mr. Smith Lawrence so that the fruits of
this old
man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately
your full
names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary
documents
and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall
employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of
the WILL
and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration
in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the
world that
you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to
you as
the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account
for us
to share in the ratio of 90% for me and 10% for you.

There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction
will be
done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees
the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested,
please
reply immediately via the private email address above. Upon your
response, I
shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that
will
help you understand the transaction. Please send me your confidential
telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require
your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address.

Thanks and regards.

Mr. Chong Lee.
