Subject: YOUR URGENT RESPONDS WILL BE APPRECIATED!!!
Mr Patrick K. W. Chan. (pk_22wchan@yahoo.com.hk)
Good Day ,
I am Mr. Patrick K. W. Chan. Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of the Hang Seng Bank
Ltd.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Col. Hosam Hassan who was with the Iraqi forces and also
businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Thirty
million United State Dollars($30,000,000.00) 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 Col. Hosam Hassan 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 client Col.Hosam Hassan 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, Thirty million ($30,000,000.00) 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 5 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 Col.Hosam Hassan so that you will be able to receive his funds.
MODALITIES:
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 Col. Hosam Hassan, 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 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 to 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 60% for me, 40%
for you. And I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below: (pk_22wchan@yahoo.com.hk)
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, Patrick K.W. Chan.
