Subject: Hang Seng Bank Ltd.
FROM: Mr Patrick Chan
Hang Seng Bank Ltd.
Sai Wan Ho Branch,
83, Des Voeux Road,
Hong Kong.
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr Patrick K W Chan 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 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 Twenty Four millions 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 Col 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 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, 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 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 file 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 endeavour 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,
1, Full names,
2, private phone number,
3, current residential address,
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 Patrick Chan.
