Dear Friend,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Patrick Chan Director and
Chief financial officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.I have an obscured
business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our client Col Hosam Hassan who was
with
the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit
for 18 calendar months, with a value of Thirty Million United State
Dollars only in my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him,even during the war .
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 Col Hosam
Hassan 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,Thirty Million United State Dollars is still
lying in my bank and no one had never showed up to claim it.
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.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you
as
a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Col Hosam Hassan 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 Col Hosam Hassan.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters
concerning
this issue.Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated
bank
account we shallshare in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you.
Should you be interested please send me your full names and current
residential address and I will prefer you to reach me on the email
address below;
pat_chan33@yahoo.com.hk
And finally after that i shall provide you with more details of this
operation.
Your earliest response to this mail will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr Patrick Chan.
