Subject: GOOD DAY.
Bank of China (Hong Kong)
Eastern Commercial Centre,
393-407 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
Good day,
I am Jing Hao the foreign operations manager of BANK OF CHINA
(Hong-Kong).I have decided to contact you on a business Transaction
that requires confidentiality, Trust and transparency, where both of
us have a lot to benefit.Though I know that contact of this nature
will make any one apprehensive and worried, I am assuring you that
everything has been taken care of, and you have nothing to fear at all
and I would be very glad if you would allow me bring you to a clearer
picture of what is on ground, what we intend to do and how we intend
to do it.In November, 1999, Ahmad Abdu an Indonesian, a contractor
with the Iraqi Government and also a businessman, made a Time
investment of (US$24.6M) Twenty-Four million, Six Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars only in my branch under secured growth funds for
(60) sixty calendar months.This investment has matured and has been
lying in
our Bank reserve for the past three years. Upon maturity
several notices were sent to him. Another notification was sent last
year and still no response came from him.
Early This year it was later discovered that the Ahmad Abdu and his
family were killed in a convoy attack in Musol, Iraq. After further
investigation it was also discovered that Ahmad Abdu 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 in my
Office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my Bank.Against
this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Ahmad Abdu so that you will
be able to receive these funds to your possession for the both of us.
I have contacted an Attorney that will prepare the necessary document
that Will back you up as the next of kin to Ahmad Abdu, all which is
required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your
Full
names, Address, direct telephone and fax numbers 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 letter of probate in your favor for the transfer of the funds to
your nominated bank account. We are going 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.Upon
your acceptance I shall send you my identity for more confidentiality
and trust in each other as I shall trust you not to elope at
completion.
Reply strictly if you are interested with the requested information
via my personal email address ( jinghao@hotmail.com)
to enable my Attorney commences his job immediately.
My regard,
Mr Jing Hao
