Subj: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP ME INFORMED
Good day,
I am Ma Delun, on staff of Private Banking Services at the Bank of China (BOC) United Kingdom. I am contacting you concerning our customer and, an investment placed under our banks management 5 years ago.
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 private investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
In 2003, the subject matter; ref: bb/boc/bank/0012 came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services Department. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 8.35 million United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over(invest) on his behalf.
I was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the Private Banking Services Department, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at thispoint at over 10 million United States Dollars, this marginwas not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments. In mid 2005, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash paymentsin Europe. He directed that I liquidate the funds and had it deposited with a firm.
I informed him that the bank would have to make special arrangements to havethis done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us.Cash movement across borders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate in and had the funds available. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited in a security consultancy firm, the firm is a specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited.
He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 9th October, 2005.
In January last year, we got a call from the security firm informing us that the inactivity of that particular portfolio. This was an astoundingposition as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the deposit, and I could not understand why he had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate him I immediately passed the task oflocating him to the internal investigations department of the bank of china. Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently he was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Canne, South of France. We were soon enough able to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward 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. In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; he died intestate.
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. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. The investigation did not ever yield any result My official capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the results of the investigation.
This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit. According to practice, the firm will by the end of this financial Year broadcast a request for statements of claim to BOC, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit back to BOC. This will result in the money entering the BOC accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the Private Banking Services Department. This will not happen if I have my way.
What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose. There is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited , I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as BOC is concerned, the transaction with our deceased customer concluded when I sent the funds to the firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track this man’s family; they have investigated for months and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end.
My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to give instruction for the release of the deposit to you as the closest Surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.
I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to the customer I will then officially communicate with firm and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these two things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have firm direct the funds to another bank with you as account holder. This way there will be no need for you to think of receiving the money from the firm. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions.
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones’ way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny. These chances won’t pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Let’s share the blessing.
If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same Email account. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. 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, 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. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, send me your response on this email immediately to enable us commence this line of discussion.
I await your response.
Ma Delun.

January 9th, 2009 at 11:08 am
LMFAO. Just got this email twice in one day from the same person. All these get rich quick schemes are hillareous and seeing as the global economy is tanking I am certain there will be quite a few dreamers that will be taken for a lot of money believing in the dream of free money. I am certain that these scams work otherwise why would the same people waste as much time as they do coming up with these various stories and plots.
January 9th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
I also received two identical emails from him today. Does/Can anyone do anything about him?

Just got this email from Ma Delun…..is there any way to catch him?? He’s like these Russian women trying to scam men (in America or anywhere for that matter) into sending them money to come to America.
March 5th, 2009 at 8:08 am
You have to give this person an A for persistence. I just received the same exact letter this morning.
March 26th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Another day, another scam E-mail! I got it today and I am amazed that they have been sending the same one for years! Who falls for this stuff? A stranger is going to just pass out money for no reason.
April 30th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
He/She is still going…What a fool. To think that someone will actually fall for this scam is so sad. The part that askes …please don’t dob me in, makes me laugh! When it’s too good to believe…it probably is.
May 1st, 2009 at 4:58 am
got it today as well
May 13th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
I get at least 2 of these emails everyday. At first I was stunned, but after a little while of thinking about it. If I am such a lucky person to have won lottos I had never played or benfisaries of peaple I never heard of. But can’t win a dime in real life. Something is wrong.
This Ma Delun has a real good story going on. He should write a book and become legit at making money.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Hi people,
I got this email today and he reiced the netherlands. I knew if it is a long story that it will not be true so all a ly. This email goes by me to the spamfilter bye bye.

June 5th, 2009 at 2:11 am
Received exact same email from Ma Delun this morning, must be a complete idiot to not realise people are going to look into this
July 5th, 2009 at 6:48 pm

July 20th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
hahahaha I got that too. Money aint that important. shows how our gov’t really acts at the smell of paper.
July 20th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
what i think is hilarious though is “I am a banker” this guy didn’t do his homework. the reallll Ma Delun is the PBOC vice governor. not just a “banker”. Countries are run by banks and to think this guy is scamming on a dead person’s bank account makes me wonder why we’re in debt.
August 15th, 2009 at 6:37 am
Bloody hell, is this guy still doing the rounds on people…? I got this email last year an its still being sent around…!? I think this guy need to get a job or a hobby or something. lol

February 15th, 2010 at 7:33 am
I should add - he sent the twenty-four paragraph email.
March 18th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
Got it today, sender is from Ma Delun , and reply to address is madelunm@yahoo.com.hk. Unbelievable!
March 20th, 2010 at 3:54 am
Long trip for that kind of spamming: I just received it yesterday. More than 2 years after first appearence. It probably takes a lot of time to make fortune by this way. As usually, deleted without any tear.
March 22nd, 2010 at 3:39 pm
OMG - I got this scam mail today 2/22/10. You would think they could track the source of this crap and have stopped it by now!!!
April 8th, 2010 at 2:26 am
Ha! Received this email yesterday (4/7/10). What a douchebag.
April 12th, 2010 at 10:50 am
Still going… anyone been able to trace this message back to its source? Maybe force the ISP to take action, if nothing else give him a little push back! What a dick!
April 13th, 2010 at 12:19 am
Mr Delun is still at it, got this on April 10th 2010.
I responded for the giggles and when he replied it was clear to me that it was a scam (not that it never was clear duh) but the bonehead could at least take the time and address the email to me after my first reply, even though I used a bogus gmail account and a fake name he still referred to me as; Friend.
The funny part is in his reply he writes: CAN I TRUST YOU!.
someone please nail this fu**er!
If you need any info i will gladly help. I assure you I can keep him going with emails. I can just send him fake info….LOL maybe that what we should do send him on a wild goose chase.
PS the IP trace is a cell phone.
April 30th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
yeah I got that shit too…sent me a picture and everything…sounded to damn good to be true…stay at guys…cant fool americas cyber family
May 3rd, 2010 at 5:34 am

May 17th, 2010 at 4:08 am
omg..i got it today..lol..
Dear Friend,
Compliments of the day to you. By way of introduction, I am Ma Delun,
Head, Operations Department of Bank Of China.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 have a
business proposal which I believe would be of interest to you. It concerns
a deceased client and an estate he left behind, without naming a
beneficiary toThere is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited , I alone have the
deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct
them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as
BOC is concerned, the transaction with our deceased customer
concluded when I sent the funds to the firm, all outstanding interactions in
relation to the file are just customer services and due process. They
are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party
that comes forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent great
amounts of money trying to track this man’s family; they have
investigated for months and have found no family. The investigation has
come to an end.
My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to
give instruction for the release of the deposit to you as the closest
Surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the
money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of
kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50..
If its in your interest to proceed with the transaction,
please respond to this email account (madelun32@gmail.com) I will give
you a detailed account of the source and origin of the estate as well as
the transaction proper.I anticipate your cooperation.
Regards,
Ma Delun.
this is sooo funny….
May 18th, 2010 at 11:11 am
Just got that email today..
June 2nd, 2010 at 10:01 am
Scam the scammer…
After contacting the rat, I eagerly played along. upon request I found a Bank Transfer form online. So I printed it out, and filled it out with a bunch of phony bank information. I then scanned the form, making sure the fake Notary Seal was somewhat visible (for the added effect) and emailed that form back. I received a return email thanking me in broken engrish (lol) telling me that my funds would be deposited within 48 hours.
I truly wish I could see the persons face when they realize that they were scammed. For what it’s worth, trying to scam the person felt like a personal victory!
July 4th, 2010 at 11:16 am
He is still at it except a shorter email..
“Good Day,
Greetings of the day to you,although you may be skeptical receiving this email as we have not met before, I am Ma Delun,a staff of Private Banking Services at the Bank of China (BOC) United Kingdom,nevertheless I have a business proposition involving the sum of ($8,370,000.00 USD) deposited in a security consultancy firm which i know will be of mutual benefit to both of us, and I believe we can handle together,once we have a common understanding and mutual cooperation in the execution of the modalities.Please get back to me for more information via my private email only (delunma7@googlemail.com)”
