SCAM LETTER -- FROM SO CALLED BANK MANAGER IN TAIWAN


Dear friend,

Thank you very much for responding to my e-mail, I really appreciate your interest in regards to this transaction.

I want to quickly give you highlight on this transaction, a Middle East business man named Mr. Thabit Alwan made a deposit of Eightteen million Five Hundred Thousand United
State dollars with my bank for the past four years and he did not come forward to claim or withdraw his deposit that was strange to me. As the Manager, I ordered
notification to be sent to his address but got no reply until we got information that Mr.Thabit Alwan was among those that were killed by missile at Baghdad Al-Tarmia Al
mishada village in April 2003.The fund is in my bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year, I have been expecting his close
relative to come for his money as the heir but nobody has come and I don't want this fund to be send to Taiwan reserve treasury.


Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything will be well at the end of this
transaction. I have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.

I got your email address while searching for trustworthy individual that will assist me in this regard, Hence I want to front you as the beneficiary of the fund of late
Mr.Thabit Alwan and we shall share (in the ratio of 60/40). I have contacted a Taiwan base expertise lawyer that will prepare the legal papers that will back you up as the
beneficiary to Mr.Thabit Alwan. If you are interested get back to me with any means of your identification (Driver License, working id or International passport),your full
names, permanent residential address, occupation,age and phone number/fax so as to know who I am entrusting in this transaction

As soon as I get these from you, my my attorney will commence the paper work that will back up this transaction I hope you will understand why I need all these from you.
The money in question is big and I want to ensure that I know you well before I proceed to give you all the details to commence the project. I will attach my passport id to
you after I have seen yours for your perusal and trust.


I will use my position to influence the move of the funds after you have been made the beneficiary owner of the fund. The lawyer will file for claims on your behalf, and
secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favour, for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.


There is no risk involved at all in this matter, as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the lawyer will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to
observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Upon the successful completion of this transaction I shall come to your country and I will like us to invest
together.

Ensure that you keep this project confidential because of the nature of this transaction and my possition in office.

Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated and feel free to call me for any information.

Best Regard,
Mr. charles chin chi

Emails has been sent out regarding the name Mr Thabit Alwan. Latest scam is about this person leaving 18Mil in a bank in Taiwan and the branch manager of the bank is trying to contact "trust worthy" people to help get the money out as Mr Thabit passed away in April 2003 in a Baghdad bombing. The banks branch manager is asking "you" to pass off as a relative to get the bank to release the money to the heir......but you have to pay tons of money for the lawyer's fee's, money disbursement fees etc.
DO NOT FALL INTO THE SCAM

With the recent boom in the demand for this products, especially with great demand from customers coming from the United States of America and Canada. I have somehow started facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my products to Americans, they are always offering to pay with US MONEY ORDERS/ AMERICAN CASHIERS CHECK, which is difficult for me to cash here..I am looking for a representative in the States, an epitome of truth, a symbol of honesty and a paragon of trust who will be working for me as a par time worker and i will be willing to pay 10% on every transaction,which wouldn't affect your present state of work, someone who would help me receive payments from my customers in the States...I mean someone that is responsible and reliable, because the cost of coming to the States and getting payments is very expensive, though I am working on setting up a branch in the States, but
for now i need a trustworthy representative in the United States who will be handling the payment aspect.. These payments are in Money orders and they would come to you in your name, so all you need do is cash the money order, deduct your percentage and wire the rest to any of my branches the cash is needed...I also want to bring this to your notice that you wont need to spend anything for your pocket.You are to receive payments which will be sent to you by UPS or FedEx Courier... The payments would come in form of a money order or Traveler's check then you are to cash it and
send the cash to any of our branches where the cash is needed. This is to be sent via Western Union Money Transfer, all transfer fees should be deducted from the money.If you are interested in this offer, please write back as soon as possible and also provide us with the following informations to get started.
