Hello Dr. John CHAN Cho Chak,

How obscured are we talking here?  Am I going to have some sort of visibility?  You'd think a Director of Operations would have a pretty transparent concept of the goings-on of his business.

I look forward to hearing from you,
Dr. Alan RUPERT Grant

Dear Dr. Alan Rupert Grant ,

I am Dr.John chan cho chak,a member of Director of Operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I got your email from an online directory.I am getting in touch with you regarding the estate of a late customer and an investment placed under our banks management about 8 years ago.

I would ask that you keep the contents of this mail confidential,I am contacting you only and no other person is informed of my communication with you.
In 2004,our late customer came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division.He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of large amount,which he wished to have us invest on his behalf.Based on my advice,we spun the money around various business opportunities and made attractive profits for our first months of operation,the accrued profit and interest stood at this point at millions in Dollars.
In mid-2005,he instructed that the principal sum be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Hong Kong,

We got in touch with a specialist department in my bank Hang Seng Bank who agreed to receive this money for a fee and make cash available to our late customer who`s name I must withhold for now.However I got a notification from my bank last year that this money has not been claimed.On further enquiries we found out that the said customer was involved in an accident, which means he died intestate. He has no next of kin and the reason I am writing you is because I want you to stand as the next of kin to our late customer.

What I propose is that since I have exclusive access to his file,you will be made the beneficiary of these funds.I know this might be a bit heavy for you but please trust me on this.For all your troubles I propose that we shall share in the ratio of 65% for me,30% for you and 5% will be used to pay back any money spent in the process of the transfer.In the banking circle this happens every time,the other option is that the money will revert back to the state and it will be confiscated by the Hong Kong Authority.

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 mail. The Full amount in question and further details as to what we shall be doing and your role to see the success of transferring the funds will be sent to you when you confirm your willingness to assist me.
Please note I am a family man, I am married with children,I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to 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 via mail as phone communication with me on the above matter will not be safe and language barrier.

Regards,
Dr.John CHAN Cho Chak

Hello Dr.John CHAN Cho Chak,
I am confused, are you a medical doctor?  You seem to be in charge of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd., is that your hospital?  I'm going to be honest with you here; english is not my first language.  I understand the grammar just fine, but it's the content that usually gets me.  You were mentioning something about a gold platter.  How can I get involved?
Thank you for your kindness and consideration in this matter,
Dr. Alan Grant

Hello Dr. Cho Chak John Chan,

Are you related to Dr. John CHAN Cho Chak?  I have been communicating with him for about a week now and your name is very similar.  He was also telling me about a business opportunity, but his was related to a medical field, while you are an investment banker.  I thought to myself "Alan, that is quite the coincidence.  That these two doctors would contact you at almost the same time about some great ways to make money!  Isn't that just the cat's pajamas?"  I didn't say it out loud, but you get the idea.

I'm not sure which business plan sounds better though; both have their perks.  Dr. John CHAN Cho Chak hasn't gotten back to me after I emailed him last week, so maybe I will go along with yours instead!

It is great to meet you Dr. Cho Chak John Chan.

Regards,

Dr. Alan Rupert Grant

Hello Dr. Cho Chak John Chan,

As Dr. John CHAN Cho Chak has been ignoring my emails, I'm concerned that you will as well.  Frankly I'm confused why a medical doctor would present me with a business opportunity in the first place.  But you are an investment banker and clearly know what you're talking about.  30% of $18,700,000,000 sounds like a great cut for me.  But still I am wary.  What is your relationship to Dr. John CHAN Cho Chak?

As for your question about the lucrative investment opportunities in the U.S., let me just tell you that there are quite a few lucrative investment opportunities.  By now I'm sure you've heard of nanotechnology.  Well the new technological advancements in the twenty-teens are going to be GIGAtechnologies.  Right now, everything from cell phones to iPads is getting smaller and smaller, leaving the door wide open for an increase in size market.  You and I should talk about this Gigatechnology idea.

In conclusion, please let me know how you and Dr. John CHAN Cho Chak are related so we can continue down a sane and logical path to vast sums of money.

Your friend,
Dr. Alan Grant
