Good Day,
May I be granted the opportunity to introduce myself, I am Mr.W K Mok
Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of the Foreign operations
department of Hang Seng Bank ltd,Taikoo Shing Branch.I have a obscured
business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General
Aadel Akgaal Bastaan who was with the Iraqi Military forces, and also a
business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 12 calendar months, with a
value of Eighteen Million Euros only in my branch. Upon maturity several
notice was sent to him, during the Iraq war. Again after the war another
notification was sent and still no response came from Him. It came to our
notice that the man (General Aadel Akgaal Bastaan) and his entire family had
been murderd during the war in a bomb blast. You can read more about the
bombings on visiting these sites below:
1.http://www.ccmep.org/usbombingwatch/2003.htm#3/19/03
2.http://civilians.info/iraq/deaths_data.php
Right now in my bank under an alias which only the two of us knew about as
the confidentiality of the matter was necessary for his protection. Due to
his untimely death, 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 Some in. I located you through an agency that helps seek people
by their email. My client did not declare any next of kin in his official
papers including the paper work of his bank deposit of Eighteen Million
Euros. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like you
as a foreigner to stand 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. 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 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 the matter as we are
going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the
necessary documents.The allocation of our money will be as follows: 30% to
you for your part in this, 60% for me and and 10% for any unforeseeable
expenses we may incur. I think this is extremely fair, as you have nothing
to lose but just a little time, while on the other hand I am staking my
flawless reputation among other things. And besides 30% of Eighteen Million
Euros is no pocket change. Once you are approved, the entire transaction
should take no longer than twelve business days after which we will go about
our daily business, but just millions of dollars richer.
As you can see this is easier than taking candy from a baby, but mind you,
trust is something that is developed over time and that is something that we
do not have. So I have to let you know that it will highly unfeasible to try
to run away with the money because even though only you can transfer money
in and out of your account, the transfer can only be authorized by my
department of which i happen to be the head. The money will be transferred
from my bank to an account you will provide. So please, there should be no
room for greed because Eighteen Million Euros can quench even the most
insatiable desire for the almighty dollar. Again, I will be in charge of
everything else. I will assume all responsibilities for this endeavor so you
don't have to worry about any legal ramifications, just what you will do
with all that money.
Your urgent response is highly anticipated so please email me through this
email; mrwkmok@yahoo.com.hk for more details on this transaction as soon as
possible. This should be kept very secret and confidential.I believe you
know.
kind Regards,
Mr. W.K Mok.
