    First I wish to thank you for your response. I sincerely appreciate your interest to assist me in this transaction,however I would like to be sure of your willingness, trustworthiness andcommitment to execute this project with me, I cannot afford to compromisethese virtues and none of your personal information will be shared withanybody whatsoever, I have my principles. About me and the funds: Like I said earlier, I am Mr. Cheung Eric Li Ka aDirector of the Hang Seng Bank LTD Hong Kong. My client Col. Ahmad AliMoh’d Hassan, who was with the Iraqi forces and also a Merchant, made afixed deposit with a value of 15.5m USD for 18 months with my bank. Uponmaturity several notices was sent to him but we did not hear from him orany of his relatives. It was later discovered that he and his family werekilled in Iraqi war with NO living witness to this fund. Now what I want todo is to place you as the next of kin to my late client since he had noneand have the funds released to you for the both of us to share in the ratio50% for me and 50% for you. I got hold of your email through the web directories and I had decided tocontact you since I needed a reliable foreigner that can help me pull thefunds out of my bank as I cannot do it myself and I do not want anyonearound me (family, friends and my bank) to be aware that the move is fromme.You should not have anything to worry about, as I want you to know that Ihave had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. Ihave contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document thatwill back you up as the next of kin to Col. Ahmad Ali Mohamed Hassan, andall that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me withyour Full Names, your Age and Address so that the attorney can commence hisjob. The attorney will prepare the Affidavits which shall legally put youin place as next of kin, he will obtain the necessary clearances which willcover all the aspects involved in this transaction from the Hong Kongauthorities including the Justice department. What I expect from you is trust and commitment, I want this huge sum ofmoney (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars)transferred with your assistance. The fact that you are a foreigner giveyou the priviledge to stand in as my deceased client beneficiary and Iassure you that none of his relatives will ever come for the funds. Whatbothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at theexpiration of 4 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the HongKong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Hence, I want us toact fast and get this funds transferred in our favour and as a banker Iknow that if we follow up this transaction diligently it would be completedwithin 10 working days. I want you to assure me that you will follow up this business seriously andas soon as I hear from you with your information, I shall give the Attorneya go-ahead to prepare the documents in your name. I shall be waiting foryour response and assurance in this regard, you need to be someone whom Ican rely upon, at least for absolute commitment.
