Wonder what this Mr. Yang got in store for me...
Quote:
Good Day,

I sincerely hope that this letter will not come to you as a surprise or
an embarrassment since we neither knew each other before nor had any
neither previous correspondence nor contact. Let me start by introducing
myself. I am Mr. Ming Yang, Director of Operations of the Hang Seng
Bank Ltd, Sai Wan Ho Branch, Hong Kong . I have an obscured business
suggestion for you.
I am here-by seeking your service in giving a clear research and
feasibility studies on areas I could invest on. Your services will be paid
for, and you will be a partner, if your recommendation is accepted.

As a bank employee, I cannot operate any personal investment till I am
retired and with the Anti-corruption Bill passed in Hong Kong; it is
risky for a fixed income earner to own any huge amount of money in Hong
Kong or any foreign country. It is then advisable to invest in any
foreign land secretly and patiently waits for retirement.

For security purpose, I shall not accept or acknowledge any emails in
relation to this without this code; [CODE NO: AM-002]. Should you be
further interested, I would prefer you to reach me on this email address:
(mails4ming_yang@strompost.com) and finally after that I shall provide
you with more details of this operation.

Kind Regards,
Mr. Ming Yang

Not sure where the spiritx@home.nl came from, but that's the Netherlands TLD, so I'm assuming he sent it to you.

Ming Yang is a real person, matter of fact several people with that name. So the scammer picks a real person and impersonates them. I've encountered this before on Craigslist where the person wishing to buy an item gave me a name/number of someone in Wisconsin who I then called up - to find out that person no longer lived there, hadn't for years, the number was a business (telemarketer).

Based on the info above, it's obvious it is a scam.

People have gotten scammers' real names before and then posted it on the Internet with instructions to call constantly, etc. One scammer turned out to be a 16 yo Nigerian kid, his mom was not amused.
