I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 6, 2001, a Iraq Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General. Ibrahim Moussa who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months. 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 Hong Kong Solid Minerals Corporation that Gen. Ibrahim Moussa died from bomb blast with family during the last war in iraq. 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 Gen. Ibrahim Moussa did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$20,500,000.00 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 Hong Kong, at the expiration of 5(five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong 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 Gen. Ibrahim Moussa, 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 notarization 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 70% for me and 25% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the transaction . There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and with my position as the credit officer guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately,by sending me a fax on the number above, or to my email: wangqinhk1@netscape.net, Upon your response,I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.

We have perfected modalities through which approvals will be secured in a matter of days with your maximum co-operation and also following all the required instructions that may be given to you during the course of this transaction. On the other hand, we will not be having any problems since we are same people that are going to handle everything pertaining to approvals in the Bank here. The most important thing to note at this juncture is the importance of daily communication with me via fax/e-mail communication. This will help us bridge any gap and be fully acquainted with the day-to-day development in this transaction. I may not be able to call you always since all outgoing international calls from the bank are made through the secretary/operator, as such, you will agree with me that this is not confidential enough for the security and success of this transaction as calls passing through the operator are monitored. It is imperative therefore that you constantly e-mail or fax me on daily basis, Above all, it is important to let you know that I and my colleagues since we are three involved, an attorney will be involve for i.e. procurement of all necessary documents to back your claim as next-of-kin to Gen.

[5] affidavits of claim, All these requirements shall be made available which I will fax to you and you will be required to fax it to my Bank when requested, except number (3) Next-of-kin international pass port which you have to provide personally. Although I want to let you know we shall pay two years backdated taxes of late Gen. Ibrahim Moussa's company since his death, as it is believed that the next-of-kin or whosoever that manages his company should have paid the taxes. Following the receipt of the above mentioned documents requested from you by my bank, it would be forwarded to different departments in my bank concerned in the approval of funds of this magnitude. Thereafter an approval will be given if the document found in your application file is certified ok.

SKIPPER Dear Mr. Qin, OK everything will be as you say as soon as we get back on dry land. We had a bit of a mishap last night in a storm. The weather started getting rough and our tiny ship was tossed. If not for the actions of my fearless crew Gilligan, the Minnow would have been lost. Our ship set ground on a deserted and uncharted island. We are here with Thurston Howell III and his wife, a movie star, the professor and Mary Ann. As soon as we are rescued we shall complete the deal. As for now give me the detains and I will write to you on my satellite notebook computer that the professor has hooked up to the generator and a bicycle that Gilligan rides.

SKIPPER Dear Mr. Qin, We are on dry land but nobody has found us yet and completed our rescue. We have a lovely blue lagoon and have fashioned huts out of native material. Ginger, the movie star has been parading around in sequin dresses which I find hard to believe that she packed all those clothes for a three hour tour. I am so sorry that I can not fax back to form as my computer is not a fax machine. Until we are rescued I will not have access to a fax. I can however receive your e-mails. My passport is a bit soggy at this point but as soon as it dries out and I get a scanner I will send you a copy. Mr. Qin please make sure to keep this confidential as my little buddy Gilligan sometimes gets into trouble and reads my mail. Skipper WANG QIN Dear skipper, compliment of the day, happy easter today, i hope you must have gooten to the dry land today, how are you colleague at work, i want you to be rest assure of my full confidentiality, know i will want you to know that you will be required to open an offshore online account wityh one of our affilate corresponding bank in united kingdom, this will enable us to have a smooth transfer, Skipper, i want your fast response because am sending this message from home not from office, because we are on easter holiday break, today till tuesday, i will want you to get the form fill and also get your passport scanned and send it via e-mail attachement to me, i will send the offshore online bank to you, for you to apply for account, and as soon as the account has been opened fill the form in the required palce to fill banking information fill the bank detail you open, then send it to me, for me to summitt it to the department to continue with the processing, of the transfer, i await your mail. Best regards Mr. Wang qin. SKIPPER Mr. Qin, We are offshore right now and no one has found us yet. My passport is dry but I do not have a scanner here. My colleagues are all doing well. Gilligan has been running around causing trouble. He said that he saw a gorilla in the jungle but I think that he was drinking too much fermented coconut juice. Mr. Howell and his wife are thinking about buying the island we are on if we are rescued. He wants to place a country club on the island with the 18th hole of the golf course next to the lagoon. Ginger is trying to find a mirror and the professor is trying to develop a cure for crabs by making a palm leaf extract potion. Mary Ann is well Marry Ann. She is everyone's fantasy of the girl next door. We have named the Island after my first mate Gilligan as he is the first one to set foot on the Island after the storm. We have a digital camera so I will send you a picture of the boat. As you can see will will have a rough time fixing it. I will send the documents as soon as I can but you must understand that the conditions here are as primitive as can be. See the attached picture. I am the one in the hat. Regards Skipper [we didn't get the pics - picture Alan Hale Jr. in a loud shirt] WANG QIN Dear Skipper, compliment of the day, Thanks for your response to my mail, i pray for you to get rescue as soon as possible, pls hold on with the sending of the fax, do the opening of the account and get the account activated, and fill the claim form with the account informatiom. I am sending you the website of the bank so you can browse it and make enquiries on offshore/on-line account opening. I advice you like I said earlier that you open an account via online With the bank so that once the funds are released, they will be moved Straight into your account and the transfer will not attract the Monetary bodies, as the transfer will be seen as in-house. (Same telex type and banking coordinates with my Bank).You can then transfer the funds in safe bits to your main account for both of us. Please find below the banks website. TRANS ATLANTIC PRIVATE BANK UK. http: www.tapb.com Please do this and get back to me immediately.

SKIPPER Mr Qin, I hope you received the picture of the Minnow and as you can see the storm really took a big chunk out of our ship. The professor has tried to cook up some caulk from some native plant species. Gilligan actually did see a gorilla but Ginger swooned it with a lovely little dance and now that are sharing a hut together. He is actually quite nice and was just looking for a mate. We have not been rescued yet but we are holding on though the conditions are as primitive as can be. If you have any contacts in the Coast Guard could you send them our way. We saw an airplane but the guy was going the wrong way to rescue us. It is very disheartening that we have not been rescued as I want to help you get the money and get a share. Even a lot of money does not help those in need like us, as Mr. Howell can attest. He has millions and he is stuck hear with all of us. As I said earlier we named the island for my little buddy and first mate Gilligan. Now it is officially "Gilligan's Island". I have to go for now as I have coconuts to cut up for the pie. Mary Ann send here best wishes and asks if you are single? Skipper WANG QIN Dear skipper, compliment of the day, why do you call or e-mail the coast guard for rescue, i await your mail SKIPPER Dear Wang, We did send out a distress signal. I can not call as we have now telephone service here other than two coconuts strung together. The professor will apply for a patent when we get back. I did e-mail the Coast Guard but they want a very large bribe from us as there schedule is now very busy chasing terrorist around the world. I have sent out messages and we hope to get a reply. I was just hoping that maybe you had a contact who could help us. By the way do you have a picture of yourself, it would be nice to see your face so I know with whom I speak. It is a little lonely here with just the Howells' Gilligan, Ginger, Marry Ann and the professor here. Had go see what Gilligan was up to. He found a pilot that crashed here 33 years ago. Wrong Way Feldman crashed his biplane on our island. His plane has some damage but Gilligan thinks that we may be able to fix the plane from some part on the Minnow. I will let you know. We may be saved very soon now. Got to go help with the plane. Please write back, Skipper WANG QIN Dear skipper, Compliment of the day. i pray you get rescue soon, i will attached a copy of my international passport, and my working identity card for you to know whom you are dealing with. like i told you in my previous mail, you will be required to open an offshore account with one of our affilate bank in united kingdom, the bank details shall be sent to you as soon as you are ready to open the account i wait your mail Regards Wang qin. SKIPPER Dear Wang, Sorry I have been busy preparing for our rescue. We have been helping the pilot "Wrong Way" Feldman repair his plane. We were able to fix the wings and control levers. We had enough gas in the minnow to fill the tank. The Octane was not high enough so we added Mr. Howell's 40 year old scotch to the mix and we thing that the engine will fire. We are clearing the palm trees to make a runway and soon Feldman will be off and we can be rescued. His plane is too small to carry us so we will have to wait. It should be just a few more days now. Skipper WANG QIN Dear skipper, Compliment of the day, I pray for you to get rescue soon, how are you coping? how did you get food to eat, how is minor, and the galigan team, you are the only delay we have to complete our mutual benefit transaction. Regards Wang Qin. Skipper replies: SKIPPER Dear Wang, Well we had a huge setback with the Pilot Wrong Way Feldman. He was able to get back to Hawaii after we fixed his plane. He could not take any passengers as the plane was small. We heard his interview which was broadcast on radio but he was unable to give directions as to our whereabouts. We are all sad and now our ship the "Minnow" can not be saved as we used the parts to fix the plane. We are coping alright and the whole gang on Gilligan's Island are doing fine. We eat lots of coconuts, we eat raw coconuts, stewed coconuts, cooked coconuts, creamed coconuts, shredded coconuts, BBQ coconuts, poached coconuts, boiled coconuts, coconut milk, steamed coconuts, broiled coconuts, grilled coconuts, plank roasted coconuts, and shrimp. Do you like shrimp? Skipper WANG QIN o.k please kindly e-mail me as soon as ypu have gotten home. regards wang qin. WANG QIN Dear Skipper, compliment of the day, i hope you are home now, to proceed with our mutual benefit deal, you will be required to open an online offshore account with the TRANS ATLANTIC BANK UK, you cn conatct the bank via their URL, to apply for the account, these account will be for the transfer of the fund in question. know your full coporation is needed i want you to apply for the offshore account as soon as possible, you can conatc the bank on this URL, www.tapb.com get back to me as soon as you have applied for the account. regards Wang Qin. WANG QIN Dear Skipper, compliment of the day have not heard from you please reply: regards WANG QIN am fed up, there is no time to waste SKIPPER Dear Wang, I am so sorry that I have not written but we have been having some real problems here of late. Our food supply was running low and we did not have enough to eat. We were all losing a lot of weight and were starving to death. Rainwater was not enough. We decided that one of us must sacrifice for the good of the rest. Though I was the most meaty I was spared as I needed to organize the rescue. We took a secret vote and decided that Ginger was the most useless to us, so we ate her. First I ate her and then Gilligan ate her and then the professor and Mary Ann and the Howells. She gave us all sustenance and now we are all agreed that Ginger is good for something. I hope that we are rescued soon but I have to admit that I would eat Ginger again and again. I hope that I am not too late to conduct business with you. I could use the money once we leave Gilligan's Island. Please tell me of your life to help cheer us up. Mary Ann saw your picture and asked if you were married or had a girlfriend. She said that she would consider becoming a mistress if the benefits were good. Take care my friend. Skipper WANG QIN Dear skipper, thank god that u are back to hawaii, i have been out for a profession course in japan, if u are still very much intrested in my proposition, you will be required to open an online offshore account with the TAPB, bank Uk, to enable us to have a smooth deal. please get back to me as soon as possible. Mr.wang qin. SKIPPER Wang, I am so happy to hear from you. We arrived back in Hawaii and Gilligan was so glad to be back that he actually peed his pants. We all mourn the loss of Ginger. It was a bit difficult explaining to Hawaii 5-0 that we had to kill and eat her. Mary Ann and I are living together in a small hut on the North Shore. She surfs the big ones daily and I am looking for a new boat to skipper. Due to our newfound celebrity Martha Stewart came over and did the decorating for the hut. She seems to like the orange color a lot right now. It also seems a bit austere. I hope it is only a phase. I was going to get on as the captain of a Japanese fishing boat but before they returned the U.S. Navy hit and sunk them with a submarine. It is a good thing that our insurance claim on the minnow came through and we now have a couple of million dollars to live on. But don't worry we could all use a little more so lets do the deal. The professor is now working for Betty Crocker at a laboratory. Oh the things he can do with a coconut. Mr. and Mrs Howell have purchased a country club and golf course. They closed it down and have built a mansion on the 18th hole. They play polo on the weekends and Mary Ann and I went to see them last month. My little buddy Gilligan is doing well and bought out Dukes downtown. He is turning it into a beatnik poetry bar. If you come to Hawaii let us know, we can put you up for free. Lets do this deal and get it done now. Skipper Sadly Mr. Qin has not responded. The whole gang of Gilligan's Island is most disappointed. They were going to name their new boat the 419 in honor of Mr. Qin. Feel free to write Mr. Qin if you wish. I am sure that he is having a wonderful time. Wang Qin <wangqinhk@cosmo.com> |
