Subject: GOODDAY.
MR.MING YANG
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
83, Des Voeux Road.,
Central HK,
Hong Kong.
(mingeyang7@yahoo.com.hk)
Goodday,
Let me start by introducing myself.I am Mr. Ming Yang
director of operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.I have an
obscured business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and
Iraqi war our client Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan who was with
the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty Four
million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in
my branch.Upon maturity several notices was sent to him,
even during the war which began in 2003. Again after the war
another notification was sent and still no response came
from him. We later find out that the General along with his
wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a
bomb blast that hit their home. You can read more about the
bombings on visiting these sites below:
1.http://www.ccmep.org/usbombingwatch/2003.htm#3/19/03
2.http://civilians.info/iraq/deaths_data.php
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen.
Aadel Akgaal Bastaan 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, Twenty Four 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 Gen.
Aadel Akgaal Bastaan so that you will be able to receive
his funds.
MODALITIES:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so
that we shall come out successful. I have an attorney that
will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as
the next of kin to Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan, 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 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 this
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 we shall then share in the
ratio of 65% for me, 35% for you.
Should you be interested please send me.
1.) Your full name and address,
2.) Your company name and address if any,.
3.) Your private / official telephone and fax number.
And I will prefer you reach me on my private email address
