I replied and this was the proposal that was send to me. This is a plot to attract people who are greedy. I believed that the same latter was sent to hundreds of people.

Dear Ronald Lee,

First of all I want to thank you for considering my proposal. One aspect I will like to talk about is PARTNERSHIP. I strongly believe in the power and spirit of Partnership in business. Partnership it is all about mutual understanding, mutual efforts /contribution and mutual benefits for all parties involved in the partnership. On this note, I would want us to work as a team in pursuit of this interest with utmost professionalism, transparency, commitment and confidentiality.

The first thing I will do is to get you acquainted with the complete details (a general overview) of this transaction so as to give you a foundation on which to make a concrete decision.

I contacted you concerning a deceased customer Aziz Musa Numan (An Iraqi Crude oil merchant), and an investment he placed under our banks management …………………In June 2001, Aziz Musa Numan came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 18.3 million United States dollars ………………………………

………………… Aziz Musa Numan and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit his home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was…………………

In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin…….. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; our now deceased client died in-testate…….. According to practice, the Private banking sector will by the end of this year broadcast a request for statement of claim to Hang Seng Bank Ltd, failing to receive viable claims ……….is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of six {6} years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds………..There is US$22,500,000.00 deposit just lying unclaimed. This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track the deceased? family; they have investigated for several months and have found no identifiable family member. The investigation has come to an end.

My proposal; I am prepared to furnish the necessary details to you as the closest surviving relation. I am also proposing that after successful execution of the business deal and the money in your account, the funds be disbursed in the ratio 30/70; 30% of the funds will go to you for offering yourself as the next of kin and providing a foreign account especially an offshore account for safe transfer of the funds and 70% will be for me ……………..

I am aware of the consequences of this proposal………….I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones way once in a lifetime……………..If you give me positive signals, I will give you the relevant modus operandi to initiate this process towards a conclusion.

…………………….This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. I await your response.

Sincerely,

Mr. Patrick K. W. Chan.

He is using the name of a real bank and the name of an employee of the bank, but it was all fraud. He is definitely a con artist who is all out to swindle money from those who fall into it. Warn others about it.
