Hello again.
Before that 419 Nigerian type scam, I already encountered a modus operandi. Somebody had e-mailed that I was chosen among thousand e-mail addressee to act as a relative of a deceased bank client who deposited Million USD amount in a certain Hong Kong Bank. The one they referred to was an Iraqi official died during US led attack on Iraq including his immediate family member. That person accordingly did not declared any relatives in his bank documents. If nobody would claim as relative of that client, the whole amount of that said account would go the Government of Hong Kong. He introduced himself to me as certain Patrick Chan holding the position of an Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer......Below is the e-mail he sent to me:

MR. PATRICK K.W. CHAN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
83, Des Voeux Road.,
Central HK,
Hong Kong.

Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Patrick K.W. Chan (Executive
Director and Chief Financial Officer) 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.
You can read more about the bombings on visiting this site below:
U.S. Bombing Watch: When was the last time the U.S. Bombed Iraq? .
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
of 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 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 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 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 70% for me, 30% for you. Should you be interested
please send me your the following:
1. Full names
2. Private phone/fax
2. Current residential address
and I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below 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. Patrick Chan.
