Subject: DEAR FRIEND,
DEAR FRIEND,
I am Mr.paul leech Executive Director of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd, taiwan.An
Iraqi named Besem Faruak
a business man made a numbered fixed deposit of (126,336,8299.38 TWD) for
18 calendar months, this is
valued to Eigth milion United State Dollars only in my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war,four
years ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent and
still no response came from him. We later found out that Besem Faruak and
his family had been killed during the war in Gunfire that hit their
home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was. After further
investigation it was also discovered that Besem Faruak
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 we
was
at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So,
Eigth milion United State Dollars is still lying
in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me
is that according to the laws of my country
at the expiration five years six months the funds will revert to the
ownership of the taiwan Government if nobody
applies to claim the funds.
My proposal, I am prepared to place you as the next of kin in a position
to instruct HANG SENG BANK to release the deposit to you as the closest
surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share
the money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the
next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the
procentange50/50.
I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would
have drawn a straight line in my involvement in claiming the
deposit.I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within
a few days.
I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating
to Besem Faruak I will then officially communicate with my
Bank and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these: all is
done.
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal.should be interested in
executing this with me;
indicate your interest by sending me the following:
1. YOUR NAME
2. YOUR RESIDENT ADDRESS
3. YOUR OCCUPATION
4. YOUR PHONE NUMBER
5. DATE OF BIRTH
6. COUNTRY OF RESIDENT
Your response with the requested information should be
sent to reach me at my personal email address below:
paul_leech13@yahoo.com.tw
I shall then provide you with more details on this
operation when I hear from you.
Sincerely,
Mr.paul leech.
