Thanks for your swift response, I will formally introduce myself to you. My name is Mr. Chang. G Lai and I'm currently the Chief Executive Officer at BNP Paribas Bank Shanghai, China Limited. I am sorry to have encroached into your privacy in this manner, however without delays, I will immediately proceed with the details of the proposal as said in my introductory email to you.

I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and also respect the integrity of the information that you are coming across as a result of this mail. I contacted you privately and as such no one is aware of this communication thus the reason why I had us communicate via email.

I am the personal accountant to a foreign contractor with Royal Dutch (Shell) who has an investment account with my bank. Unfortunately, my client died along with his nuclear family in France while on sabbatical in the summer of 2011, may their soul rest in peace. He died without leaving a WILL. Several efforts were made to find his extended family through his embassy without success.

I received a notice last week to provide the next of kin of my late client being his personal accountant or the account risk being transferred to the government (escheat) in 14 days’ time. I am contacting you to assist me in repatriating the funds left behind by my late client.

This claim will be executed without breaching any Chinese laws, my position as Chief Executive Officer at BNP Paribas Bank guarantees the successful execution of this transaction, also if we co-operate on this. The bank will release the account to you because of my recommendation of you as the next of kin.

I am a man of integrity and I expect the same from you. The amount involved is ¥65,831,900.00Yuan (Sixty-Five Million Eight Hundred Thirty-One Thousand Nine Hundred Chinese Yuan); Which is equivalent to (€8,250,700EUR). I propose we share the proceeds 50/50, I think this is fair.

I will give you all the necessary information about this deal when I get your response. I anticipate your cooperation and treat this proposal with utmost confidentiality for 100% success would be profitable for both of us.

Sincerely,
Mr. C G Lai
