Love this...I think the spammers are losing their touch. I'd rather win the Nigerian lottery, no risk there (LOL)...they're asking me to falsify documentation of next of kin here!

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. 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 has subsided, 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 States 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. 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 file 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 a nominated bank account we shall then share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you. Should you be interested please send me the following:
1. Full names
2. Private phone/fax
3. 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.

Oh, I do like the phrase, "going adopt a legalized method." Not necessarily legal, mind you, but legalized...legal-appearing...pseudo legal-ish.

This guy should become a political speech-writer.

But he's got it all planned out to use legalized methods with an attorney and everything!

Surely you've seen this "next-of-kin" spam before, haven't you? It's a very common approach.

I've gotten some that say I am the next of kin according to their records, but I've never gotten the hey I'd like to make you the fake next of kin.

I usually just win the lottery, I'm very lucky like that.

That just balances out all the bad luck of all those people with millions in deposits in foreign banks. Inevitably, they're killed in a plane crash (or in a war) or driven out of the country by some mean dictator--and they never indicate a next-of-kin in their records!

LOL good point!!! Let this be a lesson, next time you're about to deposit 37.2 million in a foreign bank and not tell anyone in your family about it...
