Subject: Get back to me.
August 27, 2006
Greetings to you. I apologize if this mail does not suit your personal or business ethics. May I be granted the opportunity to introduce myself; I am Mr. Patrick K Chan Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of the foreign operations department of Hang Seng Bank LTD.
http://www.hangseng.com/hsb/eng/abo/bd/index.html
Before the U.S and Iraqi war a personal client of mine Mr. Aadheam Ali, A very successful Merchant who was with the Iraqi Military forces, made a numbered fixed deposit for twelve
calendar months, with a value of Eighteen Million Euros only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, during the Iraq war but no response came from Him. It later came to our notice that my client (Mr. Aadheam Ali) and his entire family had been murdered during the war in a missile bomb blast.
From my investigation, which I have done perfectly, I discovered that the Late Mr. Aadheam Ali did not declare any NEXT of KIN in his official papers of the DEPOSIT that was made and he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me being his accounts officer knew of this DEPOSIT in my bank. So, Eighteen Million Euros is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. Now what bothers me most is that according to the to
the laws of my country at the expiration 5 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds as the (NEXT OF KIN), thus the reason and need for me to make claims of this funds as soon as possible and make the best use of it, hence that is why I have contacted you.
If you will like to assist me as a trustworthy partner, then indicate your interest after which we shall both discuss on the modalities. All other information to facilitate the transfer of the funds out of my country will be revealed to you in due course. The Percentage sharing Ratio is very NEGOTIABLE between the both of us for a fair deal.
If you are not interested, please also indicate so that it will enable me to contact other foreign partners with recommendations to carry out this deal. A swift acknowledgment of your receipt of this mail will be appreciated.
Most Respectfully,
Patrick K Chan.
