Dear Friend,

My name is Tony Chan Chun-chuen, friend and close confidant to Nina Wang Kung, Who passed away on the 3rd of April 2007 . I will save your time by not boring you with all the details at this time, Which has already been disseminated by the international media during the Controversial dispute that erupted between her and her late husband s Relatives concerning the huge estate he left behind. To save my time and yours I ask that you go to this link,

As you will learn after going through the link above, all sorts of stories Have been assumed concerning the huge sum of money she left behind. Some Stories even say she left the bulk of her estate to me. But the truth is, Although I am the sole custodian of a huge sum of her estate, she left strict Instructions that I hand over the money to charity and also that under no Circumstance should I let any of her late husbands relatives and even her own relatives lay their hands on the money. Contrary to media reports, she made Sure her immediate family is well catered for since she had no children of her Own,Before her death Nina Wang went ahead to dispatch the sum of Eight hundred and Twenty Million British Pounds (BP820, 000,000.00) in cash with the assistance Of a foreign diplomat who now resides in Europe, but I will ensure to make her Wish comes through. Now the reason why I have contacted you is that there is also some other Funds in the tune of $12,000,000.00 with the Hang Seng Bank China,and I want Your assistance for me to transfer these funds in your name to your account for Both of us I will agree to share with you in a negotiable percentage as far as You agree to take part in this mutual benefiting opportunity. Please I count on your absolute confidentiality, transparency and trust while Looking forward to your prompt response this Business transaction through my email address as follows:

Thanks & May the Stars Guide us In the Right Path, I remain yours sincerely,

Tony Chan Chun-chuen

Dear Friend,

Compliments of the day to you,Thank you very much for your response and interest in this transaction.

First, I must insist on your confidence in this transaction. I made this contact with you based on reliable information available to me courtesy of an agency that helps seek people by their email, and confirmed by my local chambers of commerce and industry concerning your reputation. Thus I am convinced you would be capable to provide me with a solution to a money transfer transaction of US$12,000,000.00(Twelve Million, United States Dollars).
In 2001, Mrs Nina Wang was going through a horrendous problems in the Hong Kong and was on the verge of losing most of her estate to some vicious individuals who kidnapped her husband that led to his death. As a result of this alarming predicament, Mrs Nina Wang came to me with a very brilliant idea as a friend she transferred some funds, Sixteen million two hundred thousand dollars ($12m) to a fixed deposit account in Hang Seng Bank China under an alias which only the two of us knew about as the confidentiality of the matter was necessary for my protection. The below link will shard more lights on this transaction.

http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/fortune-teller-in-luck-as-tycoon-leaves-him-47bn/2007/04/21/1176697153112.html

Due to his untimely death in early 2007, the funds have been sitting in the account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do something about it. This is where you come in. Mrs Nina did not declare any next of kin in her official papers including the paper work of her bank deposit. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to late Mrs Ninas funds so that you will be able to receive his funds. I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we can come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to late Mrs Nina Wang. All that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your present home address, phone and fax numbers, a copy of your identification (most preferably your driverÕs license or travelers passport) and a brief background profile of your self so that the attorney can commence his job.

After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds through a correspondence bank of Hang Seng Bank an account that will be set up by you. There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.. The allocation of our money will be as follows: 30 %( $12.m) to you for your part in this, 65% for me and 5% for any unforeseeable expenses we may incur. I think this is extremely fair, as you have nothing to lose but just a little time, while on the other hand I am staking my flawless reputation among other things. And besides $12 million is no pocket change. Once you are approved, the entire transaction should take no longer than twelve business days after which we will go about our daily business hence i have a case ahead of me to fight with the family of the late Nina Wang, .

As you can see this is easier than taking candy from a baby, but mind you, trust is something that is developed over time and that is something that we do not have. So I have to let you know that it will highly unfeasible to try to run away with the money because . The money will be transferred from my bank to an account you will provide.

So please, there should be no room for greed because twelve million dollars can quench even the most insatiable desire for the almighty dollar.

Furthermore, if you follow up this transaction diligently it would be completed within 14 working days.What I expect from you is trust and commitment; I want this large sum of money transferred with your assistance.
I want to know if you are willing to follow up this business seriously, I shall be waiting for your response and assurance.
Sincerely,
Tony Chan

Dear Dr. Rabbi Ben Zona,

Thank you very much for your response and your interest in this transaction, I am also glad to note that you are noble and trustworthy person whom I can rely on for his capabilities to handle this transaction. I am very pleased that I am dealing with somebody who understands the need for trust. At the same time, we have to be more open-minded and more trusting of each other since this whole transaction is based on trust in the first place I have every confidence in your choice as a partner, though I may have done this quite rightly on my instincts and assurance.

Like I said before, due to this issue on my hands now, it became necessary for me to seek your assistance; I appreciate the fact that you are ready to assist me in executing this project, and also to help me in investing my money in your country. You should not have anything to worry about. I will do everything legally required to ensure that the project goes smoothly, it shall pass through all Laws of International Banking

Having resolved to entrust this transaction into your hands, I want to remind you that, it needs your commitment and diligent follow up. If you work seriously, the entire transaction should be over in a couple of days.

I thank you for showing some great responsibility and trust. Please do not let me down it is better we have confidence in each other from the start than to have a breach in contract at the end of this transaction,at this juncture i will want to attempt to clarify you again so you can understand properly your role playing in this project,
.
We can not make use of your bank in your country because,this funds are huge and you know quite well that the world today is very conscious of huge funds transfer,this is why i have fashioned out that we make use of a private bank in New York that has the same telex transfer code with the originating bank and since the banking laws of the Us is relaxed i prefer we make use of this private bank in U.sa. for the sole purpose of our project.
Now your role here is to open an account with this bank in your name for the funds to be transfered into in your name and then we can now share the funds in the percentage we have agreed upon and also embark on the venture as Nina`s last wish,thus since opening an account with this offshore bank in Usa will deffinitely cost you some money which is your only financial obligation,it will be better we negotiate the percentage that you will agree to take from the funds so that we can have an agreement signed out to avoid any breach in contract on the long run.Please do take note that your perceantage will include the donation to any charity organization in your country also for the rebuilding of the earth quake victims.

I hope to have emphasised more on your role in this project,if i receive your reply soonest i will give you a call so we can discuss verberlly for a mutual understanding before i will begin with the process, i will also send to you all relative documents for your documentation. . I wish you well as i wait your very swift response.
Thanks & May the Stars Guide us In the Right Path,
Your Partner.

Dear Dr. Rabbi Ben Zona,

I received your email, and i resly do not understand what you mean by emailing people at randon.

However, i will not blame your doubt or skepticism expecialy torwards this transaction with the wide spread of con with different motives over the internet, one has to be very careful with Whom you are dealing with.

If you are very conversatnt with my situation, you will understand what i am going through, now we are in court over the eastate that has been Placed on hold over the years now, and the reason why i am bringing you in this is Simply Because of the fact that the deposit with Hang Seng Bank was not made known to any one but me on her dying days, so i need to have it moved out quietly with your aid, hence the case is still in court, are all eye on me , and if any transaction of that magnitude is been Carried out on my name, then it will raise flags and also investigation network, so my dear brother you have to worry about nohing as i have all necessary modalities in place with the banker in charge of the account.I was adviced not to respond to you by my attorney until the case was adjourned inother not to creat any suspicion hence the families of the deceased will do any thing to have me nailed or even hack into my email account to monitor my dealing over the internet, so you must keep this transaction very confidential until we finally have the funds moved out from China as i have fashioned out.

Furthermore, all that is required from you is simply to set up an account in your name with a hang seng bank of correspondence bank in U.S.A, therefore as soon as i get your complete details, i shall furnish you further with my plans on what i have fashioned out to have the funds moved out without hitch, ad also without red flags, please pardon my late response as i had to do this for my own safety, but now everything is calm now so i advice you return email as soon as you acknowledge so we can get started on time, from perception we should conclude this within 10 working days if you follow strictly with instructions.

Lastly, i will have to give me attorney the go ahead as soon as we both have an agreement and also adhear to your obligation, which requires you seting up the account with the correspondence private bank on line in Us, all other fees such as the attorney charges will be taken care of by me so this account issue you must handle from you end as i do not want to do this directly considering the nature and circumstances sorrounding this deal i am trying to be very careful hence i am closely monitored and i wil not jeorpadize my safety for any thing in this transaction.
I await your earliest response to enable us proceed as soon as we can.
Best Regards,
Mr Tony Chan C

Dear Dr Ben,

I am in receipt of your email, and its content is noted, However i also thought about and i surgested to the Banker in Hang Seng Bank with the aid of my attorney who introduced and he further surgested we make use of the swiss affiliated private Bank in Spain which also has same telex type as Hang Seng Bank, and with the use of the Bank in Spain no eye brows or red flags will be raised.
In the light of your email, I do advise that you should make contact with the bank as I have directed in my previous email to enable us know what it would cost you to have an online/offshore bank account opened in your name with bank. I would not be able to give you a correct detail of what the bank would require because each bank around the world differs with its own requirement in regards to identifications, utility bills and minimum account opening balance.

Do find below once more contact details to the bank for you to make contact with the bank requesting that you do want an offshore/ online bank account opened in your name.

Please make contact with the bank to enable us know how we could have the bank account opened in your name to enable us conclude this project as agreed. So far we have been able to complete over 90 % of this transaction and we are about to go into the last and crucial stage of this transaction. With the aid of legal documents which the attorney has processed in your name that has placed you as the next of kin and true beneficiary of the funds, I am 100% certain that my banks management would grant an approval on your inheritance claims as soon as the attorney files in your application for the funds release and transfer to you via your nominated bank account, but above all we should both put our success more in prayers.

Actually the reason I decides to use the bank is of the same telex type as Hang Seng bank, hence any transfer between both banks would be seen as an in-house transfer, this will avoid the attention of certain financial bodies that have strict monetary policies, you have nothing to worry regarding this as

the authorities would simply believe this transfer to be a bank to bank affair and it would not raise eyebrows or trigger any red flags, it is necessary to take precautions on issues like this, and I have to ensure that our interest are protected in this transaction. I am a professional banker and I expect you to follow my instructions, for the success of this transaction. Please do make contact with the bank so that the account opening can be fast.

Let's work together in all honesty and trust and not forgetting the need for confidentiality. Did you receive the attached copy of my passport which I sent you in my previous email for your view and also for you to enhance your trust in me, please do keep it safe and never allow it fall into the hand of a wrong person.
Please apply for the account opening immediately.
I await your urgent response,
Thank you and God bless
My Warmest Regard
Mr Tony Chan C C

There is a Swiss Bank. There is a Morgan Grenfell Investment Trust.
There is not, as far as we can tell, a Swiss & Grenfell Private Bank & Trust ES.
The domain name lookup seems to be maintained by Google.
The web site does not come up.

Dear Dr. Rabbi Ben Zona,

I am in receipt of your email, and you should understand that this transaction already has its principles which must be followed to ensure a hitch free transfer.
It seems you did not read carefully my email, you will understand the need for a correspondence bank in Spain hence both banks are of the same telex type, this was fashioned out for our protection, therefore we must follow strictly the attorneys advice to achieve this.

As we all know china is a very diffcuilt country when it comes to huge funds, and considering the nature and circumstancs sorrounding this transaction there is need to follow trictly with instructions to enaable us achieve this mutual benefiting transaction.

A month ago the case between i an late Nina Wang family was dismissed by the court and was ruled in their favour so in all i lost all i spent to get attorney for the case that lasted almost 3 years, so the only money i am holding on to is the 12 million usd which was given to me by late Nina wang during her dying days and was not made public but strictly between the two of us, the below link will give you an insight.

http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/world/tony-chans-claim-on-nina-wangs-property-has-been-dismissed_100314184.html

So my partner the use of the correspondce bank is the best way i have fashioned out to bring this transaction to a success,so in the light of my email i do urge you to make contact with the bank as this is the only way i have chosen to secure us from having problems with the government and slo drawing the attention of the late Nina Wangs Family.

In the light of your email, I do advise that you should make contact with the bank as I have directed in my previous email to enable us know what it would cost you to have an online/offshore bank account opened in your name with bank. I would not be able to give you a correct detail of what the bank would require because each bank around the world differs with its own requirement in regards to identifications, utility bills and minimum account opening balance.
Lastly i have informed the attorney about your surgestion, and he said there is no way the swiss Bank can be used,just to protect my intrest, and the intrest of others so if the account is not made use of then i am afriad we can not go further.
Thanks.
Tony Chan C C.

September 28, 2010

Dear Dr,

I am in receipt of your email, and its content is noted.However i spoke to you about the need for absoulte confidentiality in this transaction as there is no need bringing in another party. Inotherwords, i have explained to you about the Bank in Spain which is a private bank with limited acess on the internet hence it has a strong privacy policy which does not allow non customers to get acess only intending customers, in the light of my email, i do surgest you communicate with the Bank with the details i have provided to you to get more details and also inquire what will be required to get an account with the Bank. Lastl,y, i would advice you act as i have instructed and communicate with the swiss Bank in Spain, and whatever the case may be do keep me informed to enable me advice you further as the case may be. I await your response. Regards, Mr Tony Chan C.

October 3, 2010

Dear Dr,

I received your email with great disdain and dissappiontment, in as much as i have emphasized about the nature and circumstances sorrounding this transaction, you went ahead to mention my name before the Bank, i told you the reason why i required your partnership was for you stand as the front person to receive the funds without the presence of my name.

Dr i must say that this alone can get me into trouble and at the same time jeprpadize this transaction considering what is going on in China as regards the funds.The families of the late Nina Wang will do anything to find out what i am doing but you did dissappiont me by puting my name in the picture which is not surpposed.

I have informed the attorney of the blunder you made and he adviced i immediately dis regards communication with you if the mistake in not immediately corrected as i do not want to get into trouble.

Lastly, if you do not feel comfortable with the principles of this transaction as i have adviced with the use of the Spanish BANK, i advice we stop communication to enable me search for another partner as time is of great essence in this transaction.

Thanks. but no thanks.
Tony Chan.

(I've just noticed that his emails are taking on a more decidedly African tone. More spelling mistakes, and the "and its content is noted". All he's missing is the "Compliments of the Day/Season and how is your family?" Sure enough, a search for the IP on this one comes up as Johannesburg.)
