Dear Mr Chu Sengchen
I understand your position with regards to security of information. However, being vague is not helping me in making a decision. I have understood your proposal with regards to this transaction and the further investment of your share of the funds in my country, but I still have my reservations with regards to the security of my personal information.
I would request that you can provide me with some form of collateral as assurance so as to reduce any risk of my personal information falling into the wrong hands. I can provide you with the following information as such:
Name: Goh Yit Shyt D.O.B. : 29 Feb 1973 Country of residence: Malaysia State: Si mi lan jau (this is a real place!)
I am currently working in an investment bank as the Vice-President of the Mountebanking Division. I have 10 years of working experience in the finance sector and you can be assured that I can help direct your funds to the areas which will reap the largest return.
As you are also working in a bank, I am sure you are familiar with the credit policies of a bank, which includes running a background check on the creditor or counterparty to ensure that he does not default on his payments. Therefore, I hope that you would be most understanding in my requests for a more detailed profile of you as well.
Also, I would like to inform you that I have roped in a friend of mine as my business partner in this deal. His personal information is as such:
Name: Yew Pang Tsai (the T in Tsai is silent) Occupation: CEO of Major Sanitary Business Provider
Unfortunately, I am unable to provide you with a secure bank account number at the moment as I am still in the process of applying for a Swiss bank account to allow you to deposit the funds into. Do allow a few business days for the application to be processed by the Swiss bank.
I will forward my bank account number to you as soon as it is ready. In the meantime, I hope you would furnish me with more information about yourself and also a picture of yourself.
Sincerely,
Goh Yit Shyt (pronounced "Go-Eat-Shit")

Here's what the dude had to say....

Dear friend,
I am Mr. Chu Sengchen , Branch Manager. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On November 6, 1999, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, Made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million 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 Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation that he 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 he did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to 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 fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to the man so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and authorization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 80% for me and 20% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address above.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.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.
Thanks and regards.

Dear Mr Chu,
My friend who received this email from you has informed me of your proposal.
I am very interested in your business proposition. I have recently finalised a similar deal with a Nigerian businessman and earned a hefty US$10,000,000.
However, before I provide you with my private information, I would like to ensure the integrity of this email and the authencity of your identity.
Please provide me a direct telephone number which we can use to converse and also a photograph of yourself with your passport and company logo in the background.
I hope you understand my concerns before engaging you in this deal. Being a banker yourself, you would know credit risk procedures that need to be performed before entering into deal, especially one that involves a large amount of cash.
Therefore, I hope you have been sincere in your proposal, and I look forward to your most favourable reply together with the contact number and photograph I requested.
Been having late nights at work for the past few days. Shack. But glad that the busy days are over for now. Anyway, here's a follow up on the previous post.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to the man so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and authorization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 80% for me and 20% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address above.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.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.
Thanks and regards.
Mr. Chu Sengchen
I figured that since most people already know about such scams, this Mr Chu must be feeling really bored cos he is not receiving any replies. So I decided to entertain him...

Dear Mr Chu,
My friend who received this email from you has informed me of your proposal.
I am very interested in your business proposition. I have recently finalised a similar deal with a Nigerian businessman and earned a hefty US$10,000,000.
However, before I provide you with my private information, I would like to ensure the integrity of this email and the authencity of your identity.
Please provide me a direct telephone number which we can use to converse and also a photograph of yourself with your passport and company logo in the background.
I hope you understand my concerns before engaging you in this deal. Being a banker yourself, you would know credit risk procedures that need to be performed before entering into deal, especially one that involves a large amount of cash.
Therefore, I hope you have been sincere in your proposal, and I look forward to your most favourable reply together with the contact number and photograph I requested.
