Another Attorney Scam E-Mail Purportedly from China

For those of us who are collectors of attorney scam e-mail, yours truly included, here's another:

From: Mr. Qiming Wang.
Legal Representative/Owner,
Quanzhou Haitian Textile Co.,Ltd,
Address: Haitian Industrial Park,
Jiangnan Development Zone,
Quanzhou, Fujian
China.
Email: qimingwang41@gmail.com
Website: http://www.htt.cn

Dear Sir,

Request for Legal assistance.

This is an official request for legal representation on behalf of Quanzhou Haitian Textile Co.,Ltd. We are a textile company with principal business in garment manufacturing and trading.

We are presently incapacitated due to international legal boundaries to exert pressure on our delinquent customers and we request for your services accordingly. We got your contact information from the Online Lawyers Directory as a result of our search for a reliable firm or individual to provide legal services as requested.

After a careful review of your profile as well as your qualification and experience, we are of the opinion that you are capable and qualified to provide the legal services as requested.

On behalf of Quanzhou Haitian Textile Co.,Ltd, Please accept my sincerest appreciation in advance for your willingness to render your services as we look forward to your prompt response to our request.

Thank you..
Mr. Qiming Wang.
Legal Representative/Owner,.
Quanzhou Haitian Textile Co.,Ltd..

Notice how the content is basically similar to all those that have come before it:

1) The recipient is addressed neither by name nor by firm.
2) The text is written in a slightly archaic English "we are presently incapacitated..."
3) The proposed legal service required is the collection of the debt.
4) The question an attorney may have -- how did you find out about me? -- is answered with the proffered validation that the contact information came from the "Online Lawyers Directory." But which one?

Note the use of a gmail account, which enables the sender to hide important information about the origin of the e-mail.

Miss Johnson From London [TypeKey Profile Page]:

It would be interesting to know whether you and
other attorneys have been receiving significantly more of this "scambait" from China since China's economy took a turn south. Is Nigeria in danger
of losing its crown, in this regard?
