Subject: From Union Bank China.
Dear Friend,
Greetings to you and your family.I hope you are having a blissful week.I am
Mr.Joseph Chau of Investment Banking,Union Bank Of China.On July 6, 2004,our
client Mr. Irvin poot,a businessman,made a numbered fixed deposit for 6
(six) calendar months,with a value of US$20.5m only in my branch. Upon
maturity several notice was sent to him and no response came from him.
Another notification was sent early February and still no response came from
him.The Bank officially sent a two-man delegate to his residence in Malaysia
were he resides only to find out that the business mogul and his family
perished in the Tsunami disaster.
After further investigations,it was also discovered that Mr.Irvin Poot did
not declare any next of kin in his official papers,including the paper work
of his bank deposit.So, Twenty million, Five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to
claim it.According to the laws of my country, at the expiration of one year
(1 year) the funds will revert to the ownership of Hong Kong Government if
nobody applies to claim the funds.
MY PROPOSITION:
I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr.Irvin Poot
to enable you receive the funds.Lets put heads together to claim and
transfer these funds out of Hong Kong and use it judiciously.I have
contacted an Attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will
back you up as the next of kin to Mr.Irvin Poot,all that is required from
you at this stage is for you to provide me with your full names and Address
including your direct phone and fax numbers for my Attorney to commence his
job.My Attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the
necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the funds to be
moved to an account that will be provided by you.
Note that sharing percentage is negotiable by the two parties.Contact me on
this email address (joseph_chau1010@web-mail.com.ar)with your full names and
address if you are interested and more details will be provided to you about
the Project.
