MR. MING YANG
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
83, Des Voeux Road.,
Central HK,
Hong Kong.
(mingyang011hk@yahoo.com.hk)
Goodday,
Let me start by introducing myself.I am Mr. Ming Yang director of operations of the Hang Seng
Bank Ltd.I have an obscured business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client
Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a numbered
fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand
United State Dollars only in my branch.Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during
the war which began in 2003. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no
response came from him. We later find out that the General along with his wife and only daughter
had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan 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, Twenty Four million 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 laws of my country at the expiration 4 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. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan so that you will be able to receive his funds.
MODALITIES:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I
have an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of
kin to Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan, 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 of probate in your favour for the move of the funds to an
account that will be provided by you.There is no risk involved at all in this 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 we shall then share in the ratio of 65% for me,
35% for you.
Should you be interested please send me.
1. Your full name and address,
2. Your company name and address if any,.
3. Your private / official telephone and fax number.
And I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below:mingyang011hk@yahoo.com.hk and
finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Ming Yang
