Dear Friend,
May I be granted the opportunity to introduce myself, I am Mr. W K Mok
Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of the Foreign 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 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. We later find out that the
General Aadel Akgaal Bastaan and his family had been killed during the war
in a bomb blast. 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 General 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, Eighteen Million Euros 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 2 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 General Aadel Akgaal Bastaan
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 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.
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 isopen for negotiation for you. Should you be interested
please send me your full names and current residential address to my private
Email:mokoo22@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. W K Mok.
