- We have no way to certify this actually originated in
Taiwan. However, it is clearly another version of the Nigerian net scam
con which has harmed more than a few people who have bought into it.
Beware.

- I am Mr. M Watanabe Bank Manager China Trust Commercial
Bank,Taipei,Taiwan. I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition
for you.
-
- On December 6, 1999, a Foreign consultant/contractor
with the Taiwan printon and minting, Mr.Brian Claude made a numbered time
(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00,
(Thirty Million, us 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 Taiwan printon and minting
that Mr.Brian Claude 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.Brian Claude did not declare any next of kin or relations in all
his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$30,000,000.00 has carefully been moved out of my bank to
a security company for safekeeping.
-
- No one will ever come forward to claim it. According
to Taipei Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert
to the ownership of the Taiwan Government if nobody applies to claim the
fund.
-
- Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as
an Foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money I deposited it in a
security company in a trunk box though the security company does not know
the contents of the box as I tagged them to be photographic materials for
export. I am writing you because I as a public servant (Manager with the
bank), i cannot operate a foreign account or have an account that is more
than $1m.
-
- I want to present you as the owner of the box in the
security company so you can be able to claim them with the help of my
attorney.
This is simple. I will like you to provide immediately your full names
and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which
will put you in place as the owner of the trunk.
-
- The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio
of 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork
for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and this will guarantees
the successful execution of this transaction.
-
- If you are interested, please reply immediately via my
email address or call me . Upon your response, I shall then provide you
with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand
the transaction.
-
- 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.(Buying
of properties like houses, hotels etc) Please do send me your
private/mobile
telephone fax number so that we can have a smooth communication.
-
- Awaiting your urgent reply via my email
-
- Thanks and regards.
-
- Mr.M.Watanabe
- Bank Manager,
- China Trust Commerical Bank,
Taipei,Taiwan.
