Dear friend,
May I be granted the opportunity to introduce
myself, I am Mr. Li Le Song credit officer of
the Foriegn operations dept of the Hang Seng
Bank ltd,Taikoo Shing Branch.I have a obscured
business suggestion for you.Before the U.S and
Iraqi war our client Colonel Sadiq Uday who was
with the Iraqi forces and also business man
made a numbered fixed deposit for 12 calendar
months, with a value of Nineteen millions Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in
my branch. Upon maturity several notice was
sent to him, even during the war early this
year. Again after the war another notification
was sent and still no response came from him.
We later find out that the Colonel and his
family had been killed during the war in bomb
blast that hit their home. After further
investigation it was also discovered that
Colonel Sadiq Uday 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, Nineteen millions 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
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
Colonel Sadiq Uday so that you will be able to
receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything
planned out so that we shall come out
successful. I have contacted an attorney that
will prepare the necessary document that will
back you up as the next of kin to Colonel Sadiq
Uday, 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 letter of probate in your favor
for the move of the funds to an account that
will be provided by you. There is no risk
involved at all in the 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 the sharing ratio is open for
negotiation for you.
Should you be interested please send me your
full names and current residential address to
my private email lilesong_85@yahoo.com.hk and
shortly after, I shall provide you with more
details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr.Li Le Song
