Subject: FROM MR. LILE SONG
MR. LILE SONG
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
83, Des Voeux Road.,
Central HK,
Hong Kong.
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Li Le Song 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 Colonel Sadiq Uday who was
with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for
18 calendar months, with a value of Nineteen millions Five Hundred Thousnd
United state Dollars (USD$19.5M) 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.
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 Thousnd United state Dollars Only is still lying in
my bank and no one will know of 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 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 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.I would appreciate it if you reply me through my personal email
address (lilesong_2@walla.com). Should you be interested please send me your
full names, private phone/fax and current residential address and finally
after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Lile Song.
