Best Offer from Bank of China

Before receiving such email as below, I have been receiving tons of emails from supposedly Africans of African nations. This is the first time such email has been linked to an East Asian bank.

Such fraudsters will be hoping that you respond to their emails and get you to commit a certain sum for the purported legal and administrative fees to cover whatever expenses required to obtain those funds supposedly stashed up in the untouched bank account.

I would have been a multi-billionaire by now if all those emails were true hahaha. In the first place, how did they obtain my email address?

And this Liu Yan has the audacity to tell us that this fund is legal (if it was true). This would have been considered money laundering.

One thing about this guy or girl or people, it's written in good english / they got the Bank's wrong / the Bank's address is correct / there is such a BOCHK Charitable Foundation.

Now the big catch. When you google for the name of General Mohammed Jassim Ali, you can find it all over the google search results.

I sincerely ask for forgiveness for I know this may seem like a complete intrusion to your privacy but right about now this is my option of communication. This mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as unserious could come into your mind; but please consider it a divine wish and accept it with a deep sense of humility.

This letter must surprise you because we have never meet before neither in person nor by correspondence,but I believe that it takes just one day to meet or know someone either physically or through correspondence.

I got your contact through my personal search, you were revealed as being quite astute in private entrepreneurship,and one has no doubt in your ability to handle a financial business transaction. I am Mr. Liu Yan a Transfer Supervisor Operations in Investment Section in Bank of China Ltd., Secretariat of the BOCHK Charitable Foundation, 13/F., Bank of China Tower, 1 Garden Road, Hong Kong. I have an obscured business suggestion for you.

Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General Mohammed Jassim Ali who work with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of (I will disclose amount upon your reply) in my branch.

Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even early in the war,again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him.

We later find out that General Mohammed Jassim Ali and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.After further investigation it was also discovered that General Mohammed Jassim Ali 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, (I will disclose amount upon your reply) 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 to the laws of my country at the expiration 3 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 General Mohammed Jassim Ali so that you will be able to receive his funds.

I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful.I have contacted an attorney who will prepare the legal documents that will back you up as the next of kin to General Mohammed Jassim Ali, all what is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names, private phone number 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 favor for the transfer of the funds to an account that will be provided by you with my guidance.

There is no risk involved at all in the 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 your nominated bank account we shall discuss the percentage issue on your reply.

If you are interested please send me a mail on (liuyan_9bnkofchn@yahoo.com.hk) and your full names and current residential address, and I will prefer you to reach me on my private and secure email address below and finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation.
