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 million 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 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 million 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 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: songg116@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
