Subject: Good day Sir/Madam...........Business Proposal
Good day Sir/Madam,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Peter T S Wong director of
operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd in Hong Kong.I have an obscured
business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war one of 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 One hundred and twenty five million, seven hundred and fifty
thousand U.S 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 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, One
hundred and twenty five million, seven hundred and fifty thousand U.S
dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to
claim it.
When I discovered he and his family is dead i had to look for a very
reliable person who can stand as the Next of kin to that funds , so that
the funds will be transfered out of the bank immediately. 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.
Please treat this business with utmost confidentiality and send me the
following.
(1)Full names, (2)Private Phone number (3)Current residential address,
(4)Occupation (5)Age and Proffession.
Therefore , if you know you are capable of involving in this mouth
watering transaction, please send me an email to my Private email below,
so that i will give you more details about this transaction and how we
will successfully carry out this transaction without any risk involved.
Mr.Peter T S Wong
