Subject: ATTENTION PLEASE
MR. MING YANG
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
83, Des Voeux Road,
Central HK,
Hong Kong.
Email:(ming_yang7@msn.com)
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 of three(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.
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 Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan, all that is
required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full
Name(s) 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. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account
we shall then share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you. Should you be
interested please send me your full names, private phone/fax and current
residential address and I will prefer you reach me on my private email
address below:
Email:(ming_yang7@hotmail.com) 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. Ming Yang
