I am Mr.Li Chow Wai, credit officer of the Bank Of East Asia .I have a
concealed business suggestion for you.Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our
client Gen.Paul D. Eaton who was with the Iraqi forces and also business
man made a numbered fixeddeposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of
Forty Three Million,Six Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my
branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war.Again
after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from
him. We later find out that the General and his family had been killed
during the war in bomb blast that hit theirhome.After further investigation
it was also discovered that Gen.Paul D. Eaton 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, Forty Three Million,Six 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 three 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.Paul D. Eaton 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 Gen.Paul D.
Eaton ,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 to 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 we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for
you and 5%for any expenses incurred during the course of this operation.
Should you be interested please send me your private phone and fax numbers
for easy communication, you can write me via my private boxthus:
(li_chowwai9@yahoo.com.hk)
and i will provide you with more details of this operation.Your earliest
response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Li Chow Wai
