Subject: Hello
MR. ALBERT CHUNG
CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
83, Des Voeux Road,
Central HK, Hong Kong.
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself, I am Mr. Albert Chung Executive Director and Credit Account Officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd Hong Kong. I am writing you this letter based on the latest development at my bank, which I will like to bring to your personal edification. I am a top official in charge of client accounts in (EQUITABLE PCI BANK) which is now HANG SENG BANK LTD. inside Hong Kong, the merger was late 2007.
I discovered this fund in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter. You shall read more about the crash on visiting this site which I got during my investigation;
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list
Since I got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately, I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behind for the claim. Immediately I realized these funds $25.8m(Twenty five million eight hundred US Dollars), I placed it on Sundry Escrow Account here in our bank in Hong Kong. since nobody is coming for it and I don’t want this money to go back into the Government treasury account as unclaimed BILL.
Because of my position as the Executive Director and Credit Account Officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd Hong Kong,
the code of conduct bureau forbids me from operating a foreign account,this is why I am contacting you to stand as the next of kin of the deceased.
Due to his untimely death in early 2000, the funds have been sitting in the account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do something about it.. This is where you come in. I located you through an agency that helps seek people by their email.My client did not declare any other next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit apart from his late daughter. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to our client so that you will be able to receive his funds. I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we can come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to my client.
Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall then share in the ratio of 60% for me, 40% for you. I will assume all responsibilities for this endeavor so you don't have to worry about any legal ramifications.Your urgent response is highly anticipated so please let me know if you are interested for more details on this transaction. This should be kept very secret and confidential.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Albert Chung.
