Good Day,
Top of the day to you and don't be surprise by my mail to you as every
information contained is real which you will find out yourself that is
why I
need you compliance, of which am rest assured that i will get from you.
As
per the PERCENTAGE is very NEGOTIABLE between the both of us, just have
it
at the back of your mind while your read this mail carefully, further
correspondence details would be sent to you once I receive your email
confirming that you have received my mail, as you should be aware that
this
mail did not come to you by mistake but rather, met for you as this
project
would be mutually benefiting to the both of us. I must advice that you
keep
this very confidential to yourself and do not disclose it to anyone.
INTRODUCTION:
May I be granted the opportunity to introduce myself, I am Mr. K Mok
Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of the Foreign operations
department of Hang Seng Bank LTD. Taikoo Shing Branch.
SOURCE OF FUNDS:
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General Aadel Akgaal Bastaan
who was
with the Iraqi Military forces, and also a business man made a numbered
fixed deposit for 12 calendar months, with a value of Eighteen Million
Euros
only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, during
the
Iraq war. Again after the war another notification was sent and still
no
response came from Him. It came to our notice that the man (General
Aadel
Akgaal Bastaan) and his entire family had been murdered during the war
in a
bomb blast. You can read more about the bombings on visiting these
sites
below:

PREAMBLE:
After further investigation it was discovered that the Late General
Aadel
Akgaal Bastaan did not declare any NEXT of KIN in his, official papers
of
the DEPOSIT that was made. And he also confided in me the last time he
was
at my office that no one except myself knew of this DEPOSIT in my bank.
So,
Eighteen Million Euros is still lying in my bank and no one will ever
come
forward to claim it.
UNJUSTIFIED LAW EMBIBED:
What bothers me most is that according to the 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 as the (NEXT OF
KIN),
this of which is very unjust as the Government use such funds for their
selfish reasons and do not account for such Funds. This is why I feel
is
unjust as if the government would disburse such funds amongst the less
privileged it would have been fair thus the reason and need arise for
me to
make claims of this funds ASAP hence that is why you have been chosen.
YOUR ROLE:
Against this backdrop, my Suggestion to you is that I will like you as
a
foreigner to stand as the NEXT OF KIN to Late General Aadel Akgaal
Bastaan
so that you will be able to receive his funds. You shall be presented
as the
TRUE and LEGAL NEXT OF KIN to the late DEPOSITOR.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 legal next of kin to Late General 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 letter of
probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will
be
provided by you.
YOUR GAURANTEE:
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as all that would be
done is
in accordance with the law of international trans-boundaries. Thus, 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 strictly to my private alternative email:
w_k_mok_2009@yahoo.co.in
as any response to this mail box would not be acknowledged, shortly
after I
shall provide you with more details of this operation please a copy of
your
response must be sent to my alternate email as stated above if you
really
