I am Huang, Bank Manager of bank of Overseas,Taiwan. I would respectfully request that
you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the
information you come by as a result of this mail.I contacted you independently of our
investigation and no one is informed of this communication. A British Oil consultant/
contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr.Courtney Steven made a
numbered time (Fixed) Deposit of $30,000,000.00 for twelve calendar months and not too
long Mr. Courtney Steven died from an airplane crash. The bank immediately launched an
investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also
to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who
patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from
conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin.Mr. Courtney
Steven died interstate. In line with our internal processes for account holders who have
passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should
have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been
unfruitful. According to the Laws of Republic of China, at the expiration of 6(Six)
years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Chinese Government if nobody applies
to claim the funds. I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to
no one unless evidence of relationship with the deceased, which I shall provide you with,
is presented. I alone know of the existence of this deposit as far as Bank of Overseas is
concerned, the bank’s management has no single idea of what? the history or nature of the
deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that
comes forward.I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. If my offer is of no
appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. If you give me
positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I will always call
you and please contact me only through this email below. Please observe this instruction
religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man, I have a wife and children. I send
you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences may be, 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. Do not betray my confidence I will then furnish you
with a more comprehensive detail of this transaction and what is required of you.Please
reply to my private Email:mrhuang0000004@yahoo.com.tw

after hearing abt the tragic incident,what can we learn abt it.For me,firstly they have to look on every safety aspect even it is a small matter.Secondly,there is no human perfection,in another word we all do make mistake(human error).So let bygone be bygone,hopefully it will be a lesson for those involve,to change in order to minimize accident rate.May god bless us.ameen.
