Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr Jea John Lee I work with Chong Hing Bank Limited
Hong Kong.Before the U.S and Iraqi war our
client Colonel Sadiq Uday who was with the Iraqi forces and
also
businessman, made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar
months, with a
value of Nineteen 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
found out that the Colonel 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
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 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 5 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.
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 your,

2:Occupation

Kind Regards,
Mr Jea John Lee
