Message from Jeremy: To all Tech IT Easy readers, who could obviously not necessarily remember the initial announcement, I have invited blogger Lucien to write about Web 2.0, China, and many other things that happen to interest him at the moment. Lucien, they’re all yours!

I try to do a guide to find out exactly how China Mobile charges you for GPRS (exchange rate is around 1 euro = 10 RMB).

Level 1 : No Package

If you already have a mobile and you do not want to call China Mobile to subscribe to any GPRS package, you are customer of this package. It is the unified fee : 0.03 RMB per 1K of traffic. The majority of visitors are using this package.

Level 2 : 5 RMB for 10 Megabytes of CMWAP Traffic

CMWAP means China Mobile WAP, you cannot access the Internet. You can only access a very small part of it – those WAP sites directly connected with China Mobile.

Level 3: 20 RMB for Unlimited CMWAP

Level 4: 20 RMB for 50M of CMWAP or CMNET

CMNET means China Mobile Internet. If you exceed 50M of traffic, you pay 0.01 RMB per Kilobytes.

Level 5: 100 RMB for 800 M

Level 6: 200 RMB for 2000M

Level 7: 500 RMB for Unlimited CMNET and CMWAP

To give you some ideas of how much 500 RMB are, let me share my data : When I worked for some chinese IT startup companies in 1998, I earned around 8k RMB, some friends of mine earn 4k and the salary average in most cities is around 2k.

I feel so honoured…I’ll remember this day for a very long time. Check this out: are hoaxers so stupid to pick up a name of a UN General Secretary when preparing their crap?

Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and if it might offend you without your prior consent and writing through this channel.I have a proposal for you  this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

I am Koffi Anan,The Chairman, Contract Awarding Committee of the ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES ( ECOWAS)with Headquarters in Lome,Togo. I got your information in a business directory from the Togolaise Chamber of Commerce and Industries when I was searching for a reliable,honest and trustworthy person to entrust this business with.I was simply inspired and motivated to pick your contacts from the many names and lists in the directory.

After discussing my view and your profile with my colleagues,they were very much satisfied and decided to contact you immediately for this mutual business relationship.We wish to transfer the sum of; USD$10,000,000,00-(Ten Million United States Dollars only.)into your personal or company`s bank account.This fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by us for the supply of ammunitions, hard/softwares,phamaceauticals/ medical items,light and heavy duty vehicles, appeals and other administrative logistics etc for the ECOMOG in Sierra-Leone and Liberia during the Peace Keeping Projects.

This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the attendant lope holes sealed off.As the Chairman of CAC,I have the cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary of the Organization.We arranged and over invoiced the contract funds supplied by different companies from different countries during the crisis. It was our consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to transfer this money out of West Africa.This is borne out of our belief in the non-stable and sporous political nature of this sub-region.The original contractors have been duely paid by the Banque Centrale Des Etats De L`Afrique De L`Quest (Central Bank of the West African States)through our bankers-Societe Generale Banque.This balance is suspended in the escrow accounts awaiting claims by any foreign company of our choice.We intend to pay out this fund NOW as the organization is winding up its activities since the aim of returning PEACE to the countries and the coast has been achieved.

Based on the laws and ethics of employment,we as civil servants working under this organization, are not allowed to operate a foreign account.This is the more reason why we needed your assistance to provide an account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our future investment with your comprehensive advise,assistance and partnership in your country. It is however agreed,as the account owner in this deal to allow you 40% of the entire sum as compensation, 55% will be held on trust for us while 5% will be used to defray any incidental charges and cost during the course of the transaction.

This transaction will be successfully concluded within 14 days if you accord us your unalloyed and due cooperation.You should provide the followings;

YOUR COMPANY`S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,TEL

AND FAX NUMBERS.(if available)

THE NAME OF YOUR BANK,ITS ADDRESS WITH TEL,FAX

AND TELEX NUMBERS.

THE ACCOUNT NUMBER

THE COMPLETE MAILING ADDRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY WITH

TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.

Upon the receipt of this informations,the documents and approval with the texts will be sent to you for confirmation and then forwarded to the organization for ratification and subsequent payment.As with the case of all organized (sensitive)and conspired DEALS, we solicit for your unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this business. We hope to retire peacefully and lead a honorable business life afterwards. There are no risks involved.

Please for the confidentiality of this business, send

your replies to koffi_anan6@yahoo.co.in)

REPLY ASAP.

With regards.

Koffi Anan.
