achieve success as I introduce to you this project.
There is the sum of $24,500,000.00 in my bank as I am a staff of "Hang
Seng Bank Ltd.There were no beneficiaries stated concerning these funds
which means no one would ever come forward to claim it.That is why I ask
that we work together so as to have the sum transfered out of my
bank.Should you be interested please send me your:
1,Full names,
2,Occupation,
3,Private phone number,
4,Current residential address.
After that I shall furnish you with more details about this Opreation.I
will be waiting for your response and assurance.
Regards

Dear Mr Chan,

I am delighted that such a fortune had come my way. It is extremely rare to receive such a letter as yours and my heart certainly beats twice as fast on the prospect of sharing such a large amount with you. It is specially exciting that you dug up my most secret email address, and I am sure it cannot be an accident, the hand of the Invisible must have been at work.

I would gladly pass to you all my personal details as long as I know who you are for certain, not that I do not trust you, but you know when such huge sum in at stake it is best to know the person we are dealing with and that the transaction is absolutely legal - not that I have the slightest doubt that it is, but I prefer to have solid proof in my hand about the genuineness of your offer.

Therefore, in order to prove that this whole thing is not a scam I assume you are willing to make a trial transaction to my bank account, as it is normal with such things.

If you are willing to further our dealings and deposit a small fraction of the above-mentioned amount (say, 1%) into my account, please don't hesitate to contact me. Looking forward to your positive response.

Kindest Regards,

Bel Antos

Dear Partner,

Thank you so much for your response to my email. I will want to start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Patrick K.W. Chan (Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer) of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.

Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Gen. Abbas Radhi Ismail 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.

After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Abbas Radhi Ismail 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 6 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. Abbas Radhi Ismail 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. Abbas Radhi Ismail, 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 favour for the movement 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 endeavour 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 let me know and I will provide you with further information about this project.

Kind Regards
Mr Patrick Chan.

Dear Mr Patrick,

I am greatly disturbed seeing that you have not yet had the chance to read my email, but instead you have sent me a standard reply. Shouldn't the trust I furnished in you deteriorate from such treatment of yours? Do I not deserve to be treated better than the other hundred thousand clients of yours that respond to this email scam?

While I am greatly concerned by the absence of my faraway uncle, Gen. Abbas Radhi Ismail, a great champion of the Hindu faith, I am somewhat perplexed as to how his close relatives are not aware of such bank balance. Perhaps they also died in the Korean war along with my dear relative. What about his only son? Thankfully he didn't die!

I have seriously considered your offer, but my humble heart exceedingly vibrates when I think about the 30% I would receive for my services. I simply, with a clear conscience, cannot take it. Really, I cannot accept more than 29.95% which is the most I am willing to have transferred to my bank account, for transferring more than $7,337,750 would arise the suspicion of not only the bank manager, but also of the police and the tax office. And I need to make it clear I do not intend to pay tax on my share, do you?

So, dear partner, let me know my options, and don't forget that I still want you to make a trial transfer of 1% of the amount in question to prove your genuineness.

Kindest Regards,

Bel Antos

PS: You can call me Bel. The "partner" is too general.

Your Brother

Oh, my dear Brother!

How much I missed these enlightening words! I had to take my tablets because in my excitement that I have found a true business partner my heart was beating out of place. I sense that the matter is urgent so much that you have forgotten to check the spelling (as usual) and unfortunately for me my eyes stumble over such obvious spelling errors, but hey, why does it matter when you are in the process of making my day!

I know, dear brother, you are a man of few words and I sense you are the ONE I can surely trust with all my heart. A man in such a high position must be beyond reproach and beyond approach as well, but thankfully you stumbled in my way and like an angel without wings falling from the sky offered the best deal of my lifetime!!!

Why should I hesitate to give you all my details? I should not really, except for the fact that all my papers need to be re-done as I lost them in the fire... Oh, dear, didn't I tell you I had a house fire last month? Just a little one, not very big, but all my papers burned along with my stash of cash and for an old woman like me it is very difficult to get to town to organise these again especially that I am disabled and need special taxi to get around, which is expensive. I have sufficient funds in my account (oh, I am not a millionaire, but have a few hundred thousand), but to access it I need to get my papers done again so that I can identify myself and request new bank savings cards. I do have a credit union account with the nearby branch, but I have no funds on it having used it to live since the fire, my other account is with the National Bank that has no nearby branch. So life is complicated and to act urgently I would really need at least $850 to pay for all expenses as I will have to make a few trips to town and pay for the papers. Once done I can reimburse you for all your expenses.

My brother, I of course trust you and in no way I doubt, but just for surety I would that you make that trial transaction so that I fully know that your offer is genuine. I understand that the 1% mentioned earlier is a huge sum even to a prestigious bank manager as yourself - they don't even pay bank managers well nowadays -, but for a start it would be a positive sign if I received that $850 for my immediate expenses, which would surely cause all my doubts to evaporate. Once you kindly help me to regain my papers I will immediately continue our very prosperous business with you.

Kindest Regards and big hugs to my dear brother,

Aunty Bel Antos
