New Email Scam?

Melion

Never seen this one before

Dear Friend,

In the early Nineties to 2002, while my Partner, Mrs lui, a former top
executive in Bank of China was still working at the Kaiping sub-branch of the
bank of China as a manager, China-linked stocks boomed on the Hong
Kong bourse.
Because of this boom, many of us mainland Chinese decided to set up so-
called "window" companies to speculate in stocks and real estate in
Hong Kong--
China's window on the rest of the world. As you may be aware, bank of China is
the worlds largest lender after HSBC, hence my friends and I, managers
too,set-
up a few window companies and borrowed monies to ourselves using these
companies knowing our positions would ensure that this was not discovered.
Initially this was done to make more money from the boom.

Bank of China accountants carried out a routine check during October
2001 and a
loss of US$485 million was discovered. The accountants initially thought that
the computers at the bank had gone defective, my partner immediately
knew there
was a problem and made arrangements to leave China for good after some other
top executives were found out.

Some other top Executives deposited most of the money in their names in some
banks in China and so far about 75-80 million US dollars has been
discovered by
local authorities in China.

Because of the hit from Bank of China while my partner was still in China, an
arranged funeral was held for my partner after she had deposited
$44,500,000.00
with DBS Bank, Taipei Branch, Taiwan . And $83,500,000.00 with International
bank of Taipei now Sino Pac bank which is my bank i work with. I need you to
assist me in pulling this money from the two separate banks mentioned above. I
want you to know that Bank of China is not aware of these monies in
these banks
mentioned above because my partner did not deposit the money in these banks
with his name.

My partner is still very much alive and this fund cannot be claimed until a
next of kin is brought forward. My suggestion to you is that I will
like you as
a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to my partner so that you will be able
to receive his funds and for the money be pulled out from my bank and out from
my country. We really have limited time left to pull this money out from my
bank; this is why I need your assistance to pull the money out.

If interested I want you to send me your complete names, permanent residential
address, phone numbers and your occupation.

Do reply me through this email address below for confidentiality purpose

Looks like a fairly standard phishing email to me, only instead of a Nigerian prince it's a Chinese bank executive...

PLEASE HELP ME Dear sir/madam,
I am Mrs. SUHA ARAFAT, the wife of YASSER ARAFAT, the Palestinian leader who died recently in Paris. Since his death and even prior to the announcement, I have been thrown into a state of antagonism,confusion,humiliation,frustration and hopelessness by the present leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the new Prime Minister.
I have even been subjected to physical and psychological torture. As a widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with everybody in the country at the moment. You must have heard over the media reports and the Internet on the discovery of some fund in my husband secret bank account and companies and the allegations of some huge sums of money deposited by my husband in my name of which I have refuses to disclose or give up to the corrupt Palestine Government.
In fact the total sum allegedly discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of about $6.5 Billion Dollars. And they are not relenting on their effort to make me poor for life. As you know, the Muslim community has no regards for woman, more importantly when the woman is from a christian background,hence my desire for a foreign assistance.
I have deposited the sum of 22.5 million dollars with a Financial firm in Africa whose name is withheld for now until we open communication. I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your bank account forsafe keeping and any Investment opportunity.
This arrangement will be known to you and I alone and all our correspondence should be strictly on email alone because our government has tapped all mylines and are monitoring all my moves. In view of the above, if you are willing to assist for our mutual benefits, we will have to negotiate on your Percentage share of the $22.5,000,000 that will be kept in your position for a while and invested in your name for my trust pending when my Daughter, Zahwa,will come off age and takefull responsibility of her Family Estate/inheritance.
Please note that this is a golden opportunity that comes once in life time and more so, if you are honest, I am going to entrust more funds in your care as this is one of the legacy we keep for our children.
In case you don't accept please do not let me out to the security and international media as I am giving you this information in total trust and confidence I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith.
Please expedite action.

Yours sincerely, Mrs. Suha Arafat

Ya know, someday someone is going to get a legitimate email from a widow trying to access her billions or from a multi-national lottery organisation telling you how to claim your win and your not going to believe them. Isn't it better to believethese emails in the off-chance it's actually legitimate?
