Dear friend,
May I be granted the opportunity to introduce
myself, I am Mr. Li Le Song credit officer of the Foriegn
operations dept of the Hang Seng Bank ltd,Taikoo Shing
Branch.I have a obscured business suggestion for
you.Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Colonel Sadiq
Uday who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man
made a numbered fixed deposit for 12 calendar months,
with a value of Nineteen millions Five Hundred Thousand
United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity
several notice was sent to him, even during the war early
this year. Again after the war another notification was
sent and still no response came from him. We later find
out that the Colonel and his family had been killed
during the war in bomb blast that hit their home. After
further investigation it was also discovered that Colonel
Sadiq Uday 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, Nineteen millions 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 to the laws of my country at the
expiration 3 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 Colonel Sadiq Uday 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 have contacted an
attorney that will prepare the necessary document that
will back you up as the next of kin to Colonel Sadiq
Uday, 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 fill 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 the matter as 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. Once the funds have been transferred to your
nominated bank account the sharing ratio is open for
negotiation for you.
Should you be interested please send me your full
names and current residential address to my private
email: llsong33@yahoo.com.hk and shortly after, I
shall provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr.Li Le Song
