In other news, I have received this very interesting proposal in my inbox.
So I just thought I'd pass it on to Labcoin investors, as they seem to like such opportunities, I hope the e-mail is still active ;-)

[email protected]To Whom It May Concern,
INVESTMENT PROPOSAL OF $8.350 MILLION DOLLARS
I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this email confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this letter. I contact you independently and no one is informed of this communication.
My name is Kuen Yang working with Hong Leong Bank, Hong Kong; I am getting in touch with you regarding the estate of a deceased client with similar last name and an investment placed under the banks management.
In 2001, Mr. Albert came to my office to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of $8.350 million United States Dollars, which he wished to have us invest on his behalf.
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 plus capital stood at this point at over 10 million United States Dollars. In mid 2002, he instructed that the principal sum ($8.350 Million USD) be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments.
We got in touch with a specialist bank namely Public Bank who agreed to receive this money for a fee and make cash available to our client. However Public Bank got in touch with us last year that this money has not been claimed. On further enquiries we found out that Albert was involved in an accident. He has no next of kin, which means he died intestate and the reason I am writing you is because you are namesakes sharing the same last name.
What I propose is that since I have exclusive access to his file, you will be made the beneficiary of these funds. Public Bank will contact you informing you that money has been willed to you. On verification, which will be the details I make available to Hong Leong Bank. Public Bank will be instructed to make payments to you after all the necessary verification and application is done. You do not need to have known Albert. I know this might be a bit heavy for you but please trust me on this. For all your troubles I propose that we split the money in half. In the banking circle this happens every time. The other option is that the money will revert back to the state after the stipulated time span.
Nobody is getting hurt; this is a lifetime opportunity for us. I hold the KEY to these funds, and as a Hong Kong National we see so much cash and funds being re-assigned daily. I would want us to keep communication for now strictly by the above telephone and email.
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 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, we should act swiftly on this. Please get back to me immediately via the email above.
I await your response.
Your Friend and Partner.
Mr. Kuen Yang
However, you may want to be careful with large investments in questionable opportunites...
