Subject: ATTN: READ & RESPOND PLEASE
GOOD DAY,
May I be granted the OPPORTUNITY to introduce myself, I am Mr.W K Mok
MANAGING DIRECTOR and CHEIF OPERATING OFFICER of the FORIEGN OPERATIONS
DEPARTMENT of HANG SENG BANK HONG KONG 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.
It came to our notice that the man (General Aadel Akgaal Bastaan) and his
entire family had been murderd 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
Right now in my bank under an alias which only the two of us knew about as
the confidentiality of the matter was necessary for his protection. Due to
his untimely death, the funds have been sitting in the account ever since
and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do something about it. This
is where you come in. I located you through an agency that helps seek people
by their email. My client did not declare any next of kin in his official
papers including the paper work of his bank deposit of Eighteen Million
Euros. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like you
as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to our client so that you will be
able to receive his funds. I want you to know that I have had everything
PLANNED out so that we can come out SUCCESFULLY. I have contacted an
ATTORNEY that will prepare the necessary DOCUMENTATIONS that will back you
up as the LEGAL NEXT OF KIN to my LATE CLIENT. All that is required from you
at this stage is for you to provide me with your FULL NAME,RESIDENCE ADDRESS
& PHONE/FAX NUMBERS if any so that the ATTORNEY CAN commence his job.
After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file 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 to adopt a LEGALIZED method and the ATTORNEY will prepare all the
necessary DOCUMENTS.The allocation of OUR money will be as follows: 30% to
YOU for your part in this, 60% for ME and 10% for any unforeseeable
expenses we may INCURE. I think this is extremely fair, as you have nothing
to lose but just a little time, while on the other hand I am staking my
flawless reputation among other things. And besides 30% of Eighteen Million
Euros is no POCKET CHANGE. Once you are APPROVED, the entire TRANSACTION
should take no longer than 10 BUSINESS WORKING DAYS WHICH IMPLIES THAT BY
NEXT WEEK WE WILL BE ABLE TO INVEST THIS MONEY IN YOUR COUNTRY AS I WOULD BE
COMING OVER TO MEET WITH YOU IN PERSON SO THAT WE CAN INVEST.Once We CLAIM
this money we become just millions of DOLLAR RICHER.
As you can see this is easier than taking CANDY from a baby, but mind you,
TRUST is something that is DEVELOPED over time and that is something that we
do NOT have. So I have to let you know that it will highly unfeasible to try
to RUN away with the MONEY because even though only you can transfer MONEY
in and out of your ACCOUNT, the TRANSFER can only be AUTHORIZED by my
department of which I happen to be the HEAD. The money will be TRANSFERRED
from my bank to an ACCOUNT you will provide. So PLEASE, there should be no
room for GREED because Eighteen Million Euros can quench even the most
insatiable desire for the almighty DOLLAR. Again, I will be in charge of
everything else. I will assume all responsibilities for this endeavor so you
don't have to worry about any LEGAL ramifications, just what you will do
with all that money.
I ANTICIPATE YOUR SWIFT RESPONSE TO THIS EMAIL: mrwkmok07@yahoo.com.hk,
SHORTLY AFTER I SHALL GET BACK TO YOU WITH FURTHER DETAILS OF THIS BUSINESS.
I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME DEDICATED TO READ THROUGH MY PROPOSAL TO
YOU, GOD WILL SURELY BLESS YOU. PLEASE TRY TO LET ME KNOW IF YOU WILL RENDER
ME YOUR ASSISTANCE OR NOT SO THAT I KNOW IF I AM TO SEEK FOR ASSISTANCE FROM
SOMEONE ELSE WHO CAN ASSIST ME WITH THIS. THIS SHOULD BE KEPT AS A TOP
SECRETE AND CONFIDENTAIL, I BELIEVE YOU KNOW; THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR YOUR
ATTENTION.
Most Respectfully,
W K Mok.
