MR. Wang K. Mok
Hang Seng Bank Ltd.
Sai Wan Ho Branch,
83, Des Voeux Road,
Hong Kong.

Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself.I am Mr. WANG K. MOK director of
operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.I have an obscured business suggestion
for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan
who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty Four million Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch.Upon maturity
several notices was sent to him, even during the war which began in 2003.
Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came
from him. We later find out that the General along with his wife and only
daughter had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their
home. You can read more about the bombings on visiting these sites below:
1.http://www.ccmep.org/usbombingwatch/2003.htm#3/19/03
2.http://civilians.info/iraq/deaths_data.php
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Aadel Akgaal
Bastaan did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including
the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time
he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank.
So, Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still
lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers
me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration 3
years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if
nobody applies to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan so that
you will be able to receive his funds.
MODALITIES:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall
come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare the necessary
document that will back you up as the next of kin to Gen. Aadel Akgaal
Bastaan, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide
me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his
job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill
in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and of
probate in your favour for the move of the funds to an account that will be
provided by you.There is no risk involved at all in this matter, as we are
going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the
necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all
matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your
nominated bank account we shall then share in the ratio of 65% for me, 35%
for you.
Should you be interested please send me your,
1,Full names,
2,private phone/fax number;
3,current residential address,
And I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below:
(wang2mok@yahoo.com.hk) and finally after that I shall provide you with more
details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Wang K. Mok.
