FROM:MR.LI LE SONG
Hang Seng Bank Ltd

Taikoo Shing Branch
Hong Kong.
(lilesong9090@yahoo.com.hk)
I am Mr. Li Le Song credit officer of the Foriegn operations dept of
the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Taikoo Shing Branch.I have an 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 a business man made a
numbered fixed deposit for 18 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
last year. Again after the war another notification was sent to him and
still no response came from him. We later found 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 laws
of my country at the expiration 4 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 favour 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 to 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 and I will prefer you to reach me on the
email address below ((lilesong9090@yahoo.com.hk) and finally after that
I shall provide you with more details of this operation.Your earliest
response to this letter would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr.Li Le Song.
