Greetings Brother
I received your email, and I thank you for showing some great responsibility and trust. I must also
thank you for your partnership in this project, which shall be based on mutual respect, transparency
and above all, honesty. I am prepared to have entire confidence in you to do the business with all
honesty. I know that you have such confidence in me as well, and believe that I am capable and that
all efforts you and I will put in the transaction will not be in vain. I feel very comfortable dealing with
you, especially after your previous emails, I know you will not let me down. Do understand that the
success of this transaction is a means for us to build a solid foundation for our Children and Grand
Children; a foundation they will build upon when we are gone.
This is to inform you that the entire funds have been reprofiled successfully, and available for
onward disbursement from my bank. In that light, I am sending you the contact details of the
offshore bank so you can make inquiries regarding their offshore account opening. Like I advised
earlier, you are to open an offshore numbered account with the offshore bank so that the funds can
be moved from my bank straight into the account, and the transfer of the entire funds between both
banks will not trigger any red flags because of their close correspondent relationship with my bank.
You can then begin to transfer the funds in safe bits by bits to personal accounts for the both of us.
Please find below the contact details of the offshore bank;
The Hachijuni Bank Ltd
Suites 1503-04, 15/F The Hong Kong Club Building,
3A Chater Road, Central,
Hong Kong.
Tel: +852 8192 4927.
Fax: +852 8192 9200.
Email: [email protected]
Webpage: www.hachijunihk.com/home

I advise you email the bank on [email protected] immediately so that the account
opening can be fast, we have to make sure that the online/offshore account is ready to receive the
funds once they are released. Please note that it is imperative the entire funds are moved from my
bank in a timely manner to avoid any complications so I urge you to treat the online account opening
with utmost urgency.
Lastly, I want to assure you once again that I have planned out everything carefully, and you have
absolutely nothing to worry about. We are in this boat together, and anything that touches you
touches me too so you can be rest assured always that I put both our interest close to my heart. All
our actions will certainly be legal and must pass through all laws of international banking, so we can
enjoy the benefits without any problem in the future, I shall not fail you. I give you my word and my
word is my bond; I shall never depart from it. Our code of operation is "Partnership protection first",
and I shall work ONLY in protecting you and your name 100%, you are my partner, and it is my
responsibility to protect you first before any other thing. We shall live a low key lifestyle, and we
shall always remember, "Loose Lips Sink Ships". You and I have the capability to accomplish this
project and you must rely on this, this is a sensitive project for which I am making so much
commitments. I therefore insist on strict confidentiality and believe that you can be trusted with
same. The need for confidentiality in all matters relating to this transaction is of great importance, as
a loose lip is the element of foreseeable failure. So please take note.

VERY IMPORTANT

The Banking details are all correct EXCEPT....the Telephone numbers and e-mail are scammed when applying online for an off-shore account - you always come through to a MR SARAH CODY IN HONG KONG. I WAS TAKEN FOR 5000EUROS

^^^ If I am reading this correctly it appears that you were scammed by another criminal. Were you trying to launder money offshore?

certainly not Byron - I am in the commodity trade and therefore supply into various countries with those funds going into an off shore account

Hopefully Alan and I answered your question.

As Alan said in the other thread. Any one can visit you. You will need to make sure the lender is authorized and regulated by your country. Scammers will often send people to meet with victims pretending to be bankers and diplomats. I strongly suggest that you go to an institution in your country that is regulated for a loan.

I am very sorry if I insulted you or made you feel bad. I simply did not understand.

My sincere apologies.

hachijuniasia.com and hachijunihk.com are BOTH fake. Both are registered for only one year (no one starts a bank expecting to be in business only one year). hachijuniasia.com has no IP address and was registered by someone (claiming to be) in Arizona, not Asia; hachijunihk.com was registered by hidden and its home page is not where you'd expect it to be.

hachijunihk.com is in the process of being reported for fraud. Please provide an email from hachijuniasia.com, with complete headers, so that we can report it too for fraud.
