I am Mr. Joseph Poon director of operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an obscured business proposal for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client political party official and a business man Muhannad al-Hakim, made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, value at Forty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars, in my branch. Upon maturity several notices where 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 Muhannad al-Hakim, his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a gun fire.
http://w w w.iraqbodycount.net/names.htm
After further investigation it was also discovered that Muhannad al-Hakim did not declare any next of kin in his official papers, including the paper work of his bank deposit. 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 Four million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars is still lying in my bank, and no one will know of it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country, at the expiration of 3 years and 6 months 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 Muhannad al-Hakim so that you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have everything carefully planned. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary documents that will back you up as the next of kin to Muhannad al-Hakim. All that is required from you at this stage is to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. I will use my position to influence the move of the funds. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will file 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 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. Should you be interested please send me your full names, private phone/fax and current residential address and finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation. I prefer you to reach me with the below.
