I am Mr. Wang HongZhang, Chief Disciplinary Officer, People's Bank of China (PBC), 32 Chengfang street, Xi Cheng district, Beijing. I have an
obscured 
business proposal for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war,a client of Bank of China, Khazeal Hamood Hasaab a Merchant made a numbered fixed deposit valued at $24,500,000.00 (Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars), for 18 calendar months, at Bank of China, Tower Branch, 1 Garden Road Hong Kong.
Upon maturity several notices were sent to him, even during the war began in 2003. Again, after the war another notification was sent, but no response came from him. It was later found out that Mr Khazeal Hamood Hasaab, his wife and two sons had been killed during the war.

After upon further investigation, it was also discovered that also Mr Khazeal did not declare any
kin of next in his official papers, including the paperwork of his bank deposit. He also confided, in the Chief Risk Officer, Bank of China (BOCHK), that no one knew of his deposit in the bank. According to the laws of my country,
at the expiration of 4years and 6 months such funds are reverted to the Peoples Bank Of China (PBC), where it will be deposited in the reserve of the Government, if nobody applies claim. Due to the fact that the fund has been in the bank for more than four years, provisions are being made to be reverted to my Bank (PBC). When the case was presented at my desk, I contacted the risk officer(BOCHK), who is a good friend of mine and gathered all information that I have to you. Against this backdrop,
I will like you (
no thanks 
), as a foreigner, to stand
kin of next to Khazeal Hamood Hasaab, so that we
(WE?) can receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE
I want you know that there is no risk involved. We have had everything planned out so that we shall come succesful (COME succesful?

)
I have contacted an attorney who will prepare the necessary documentS that will back you up as the next of kin to Khazeal Hamood Hasaab. All that is required 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 account that will be provided by you. Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Should you be interested I provide you with more details on this operation.
You can reach me the email below.
