Good day Sir/Madam,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Barrister Woo Cheng (esq.), a
creditable lawyer of the Woo Cheng Chambers, London . I have an obscured
business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war my client Gen.
Aadel Akgaal Bastaan who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman
made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of 15
Million US Dollars (Fifteen million United State Dollars only) in a branch
of the Hang Seng Bank, Hong Kong . Upon maturity several notices was sent
to him by the Bank, even during the war which began in 2003, He asked me
as a personal friend and lawyer to help monitor his account. During the
war my friend the General along with his wife and only daughter were
killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.
You can read more about the bombings on visiting these
sites below:

Due to the hasty deposit of the funds Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan 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 with the Hang Seng Bank.
So, Fifteen million United State Dollars is still lying in an offshore
bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most
is that according to the laws of Hong Kong at the expiration 4 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 Gen.
Aadel Akgaal Bastaan so that you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall
come out successful. I will prepare the necessary documents that will back
you up as the next of kin to Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan, all that is
required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full
Names and Address so that I can commence my job. After you have been made
the next of kin, I 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 this matter, as we are going to adopt
a legalized method and I will prepare all the necessary documents
involved. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters
concerning this issue. Should you be interested please send me the
following details:
Full name:
Private phone/fax:
Residential address:
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
Barr. Woo Cheng.
