From: "Mr Patrick K.W. Chan" <pk_22wchan@yahoo.com.hk>
Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 18:12:47 +0200
Subject: YOUR URGENT RESPONDS WILL BE APPRECIATED!!!
Mr Patrick K. W. Chan.
(pk_22wchan@yahoo.com.hk)
Good Day Friend,I am Mr. Patrick K. W. Chan. Executive
Director and
Chief FinancialOfficer 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 millionUnited 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
life 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
clientCol.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 m
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
lawsof my country at the
expiration 5 years the funds will revert to theownership 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 wa nt 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. HosamHassan, 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
attorneywill 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 sh are in the
ratio of 60% for me, 40% for you. And I will
prefer you

below:

and finally after that I shall provide you with
more
details of this
operation. Your earliest response to this letter will be
