I am Mr. Lee Raymond Wing Hung, Chief Financial Officer, Bank of China,
Tower Branch, 1 Garden Road Hong Kong. I have an obscured business proposal
for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our client Aajel Jjber Hassef a
Merchant made a numbered fixed deposit valued at Twenty Four million Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars, for 18 calendar months, in my branch.
Upon maturity several notices were sent to him, even during the war which
began in 2003. Again, after the war another notification was sent, but still
no response came from him. We later found out that my client, his wife and
two sons had been killed during the war.

After further investigation, it was also discovered that Aajel Jjber Hassef
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers, including the
paperwork of his bank deposit. 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 3 years and 6
months the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government,
if nobody applies to claim it. Against this backdrop, I will like you, as a
foreigner, to stand as next of kin to Aajel Jjber Hassef, so that we can
receive his funds.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that there is no risk involved. I have had everything
planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an
attorney who will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as
the next of kin to Aajel Jjber Hassef. All that is required from you, at
this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names, private phone/fax
and current residential address, so that the attorney can commence his job.
After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file for
claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate in your favour for the move of the funds to an account that will be
provided by you. Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all
matters concerning this issue. Should you be interested I shall provide you
with more details on this operation. You can reach me with the email below.

Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Lee Raymond Wing Hung.

Anyone else receive this crap?

I do the lottery [UK] online and they do notify you if you win - but it goes straight back into the bank via the card you used anyway.

Many of these emails used to come from Nigeria and The Gold Coast, IIRC.
Most people are wise to them nowadays, I think - mind you I suppose there are people who still fall for it.

Well, I sent him all the required information.
He seemed very pleased overall.
There was one last request, that I provide my bank account number so he could directly place the money into my account.
I was sceptical about this last request, but then figured it would be the only way to proceed with the transaction.
He said the transaction will take about 4-6 weeks I can hardly wait.
First thing I'll do is buy a brand new truck woohooo.
Then a good quality fishing boat oh oh and some new scuba gear.

Wow going to be rich I tell ya RICH RICH RICH!!!

Either he just fell for that, or was being sarcastic (sarcastic wasn't funny though).
