WOW - He didn't even claim to be a doctor either! Just plain old "Pat"....
We get that dear old biddy, Mrs. Anita Nuddaman to reply - Tuesday, 15th April, 2008 -
Hello Mr Chan,
Thank you for your email.
I am interested in your proposition, but do not fully understand how I could help?
I am only a housewife, and not a banking person if this is of any help to you.
Since my husband passed away last year, I pretty much keep to myself and don't go out very much, so this all sounds so very exciting.
sincerely,
Anita Nuddaman
Our scammer takes the bait! A lovely old dear isn't she. A bit vunerable perhaps.

Subject: FULL DETAILS OF OUR PROPOSED PROJECT FOR OUR MUTUAL BENEFIT. (RESPOND FAST).
Patrick K. W. Chan
(Executive Director & Chief financial Officer)
Hang Seng Bank Limited
83 Des Voeux Road, Central
Hong Kong SAR
My Dear Anita Nuddaman,
First of all I want to thank you for considering my proposal. One aspect I will like to talk about is PARTNERSHIP. I strongly believe in the power and spirit of Partnership in business. Partnership it is all about mutual understanding, mutual efforts /contribution and mutual benefits for all parties involved in the partnership. On this note, I would want us to work as a team in pursuit of
this interest with utmost professionalism, transparency, commitment and confidentiality.
The first thing I will do is to get you acquainted with the complete details (a general overview) of this transaction so as to give you a foundation on which to make a concrete decision.
I contacted you concerning a deceased customer Aziz Musa Numan (An Iraqi Crude oil merchant), and an investment he placed under our banks management. Once again I
would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail. I am contacting you independently and no one is informed of this communication I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
In June 2001, Aziz Musa Numan came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 18.3 million United States dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case because of his high net worth profile; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto
chief operations officer of the private banking sector, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favoured route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 600 traditional stocks and bond managers and 300 managers of alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at this point at 22.5 million United States dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war (U.S and Iraqi war), Four years ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of Hang Seng Bank Ltd. Information started to trickle in that Aziz Musa Numan and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit his home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes.
In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence. Accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank even gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; our now deceased client died in-testate. In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private
investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. It is quite clear now that our dear client died with no known or identifiable family member.
This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the portfolio and the late beneficiary of the deposit. According to practice, the Private banking sector will by the end of this year broadcast a request for statement of claim to Hang Seng Bank Ltd, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit to Management of Hang Seng Bank Ltd. This will result in the money entering the Hang Seng accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the private banking division. What bothers me most is that
according to the laws of my country at the expiration of six {6} years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. This will not happen if I have my way.
What I wish to relate to you will smack off unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who sit upon certain chairs and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose. There is US$22,500,000.00 deposit just lying unclaimed. This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track
the deceased family; they have investigated for several months and have found no identifiable family member. The investigation has come to an end.
My proposal; I am prepared to furnish the necessary details to you as the closest surviving relation. I am also proposing that after successful execution of the business deal and the money in your account, the funds be disbursed in the ratio 30/70; 30% of the funds will go to you for offering yourself as the next of kin and providing a foreign account especially an offshore account for safe transfer of the funds and 70% will be for me. Please let me know in your next correspondence if the above sharing ratio is okay by you because we can fine-tune this based on our
interactions incase you have any problem with it. Following the master plan for this deal I am looking at a bank that have transaction understanding with my bank as first point of transfer to put off eyebrows that may be raised or to avoid unnecessary questioning.
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. Once more, I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail and forget I ever contacted you, I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such
opportunities only come ones way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by. For once I find myself in total control of my destiny. This chance won`t pass me by and please do not let me miss my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. If you give me positive signals, I will give you the relevant modus operandi to initiate this process towards a conclusion.
I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is
nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. I await your response.
Sincerely,
Mr. Patrick K. W. Chan

Amazing - I thought he said we would mutually decide the split, whats this 30/70. I reckon this Noggie thinks Anita Nuddaman to be a soft touch!
She writes back a little apprehensively..... - 15th April, 2008 -
Dear Mr Chan,
I am a litle overcome by the enormity of your proposal. That is a huge amount of money for someone to leave laying around. Poor Mr Numan, and his family too, what a terrible terrible thing to have happen.
I guess that is one of the tragedies of war that we never stop to consider. If there is anything that I can do to help, then I will.
It is very late over here, and I am not usually up so late, but this is so very exciting, that I will never get back to sleep tonight. Your offer is much more than generous. Are you sure that the 70-30 is correct. It just seems so much for an old woman like me, not that I am ungrateful mind you, but oh dear, you are talking about millions, what ever would I do with it all.
Couldn't you donate most of my share to the Red Cross to help some of these victims of war. I mean, it's not that I don't respect your generous offer, but my Henry left me very well provided for after he passed away, so it's not as if i need all that extra money at all.
Oh well, let me know if I can help then, I best try to get some sleep before morning.
sincerely yours,
Anita
There you go. She doesn't need his money. Henry left her well heeled in his will. Anita Nuddaman is already a wealthy widow!
From Mr. Patrick K.W.Chan. - Wed, 16 Apr 2008
Subject: PLEASE SEND YOUR DETAILS AS REQUESTED HERE AND COPY OF YOUR I.D CARD URGENTLY.
Thank you so much for your response to my email. I will want to start by introducing myself once again. I am Mr. Patrick K.W. Chan (Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer) of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd and a little more clarification on the details of the proposed project thus:
However, before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Aziz Musa Omar Numan who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars Only (US$22.5M) in my Branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war which began in 2003. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found 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 Aziz Musa Omar Numan 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-two Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$22.5M) 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 6 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 Aziz Musa Omar Numan so that you will be able to receive this fund. Note that the 30% i offer to give to you is enough because of the significant role you are
playing in this project, so, if you co-operate with me in totality to get this transaction sail through, we would be most grateful to you if you wholeheartedly join concerted effort together with me in concluding this project successfully and my plan for your information is to invest part of my own share of the money in your country and go into joint business with you and resign my appointment with the Hang Seng Bank.
Again, all relevant documents shall be given to you for your permanent record purposes once we conclude the transaction.
MODALITIES:
I want further remind you that all the modalities for a smooth run of this project has carefully been worked out so that we shall come out successful. I have a very responsible and reliable attorney that will prepare the necessary documents that will back you up as the next of kin to Aziz Musa Omar Numan, all that is required
from you at this stage is for you to provide me with the following details:
Full Names:
Contact Address:
Telephone Number:
Mobile Number:
Occupation:
Nationality:
Age:
Any form of Identification 9either driver`s licence, working I.D or international Passport, we do not have problem with any of these form of identification. 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 favour for the movement 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 to 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. By projection, this entire project is expected to last for a maximum of TWO WEEKS depending on your swift responses, committment and co-operations from time to time.
Once the funds have been transferred to your offshore bank account, we shall then share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you respectively. Should you find this comfortable. Anyway, my intention and advise to you is to invest part of your share of the 30% and my share of 70% to help victims of war dying of diseases, malnutrition, hunger, stalvatione.t.c, less privilege in the society, motherless baby homes, S.O.S homes and red cross organisation to assist them to have life back in shape. There are so many people too in the
society who are suffering from terminal ailments/diseases like, cancer, H.I.V Aid, heart problems and kidney problems alike who also need our help, so, with this money we are going to commit substantial part of this money into our society around us to make impact in the society through this money. All these are the major underlying needs intended use for this money when we conclude the transfer into your Account.You really do not have to worry about these arrangements because as soon as we complete these transfer, i will arrange to meet you personally one-on-one and face to face to fine tune these plans and for us to know how we can embark on this social projects. From my own point of view, we shall select areas of interest to invest at least 20-30% of this amount on the social work project while we shall share the balance amongst us. It is always very necessary to cater for our society, humanity and enviroment.
Please in
order to make all these plans work out, it will be necessary for to let me have the above mentioned detials/requirements and I will provide you with my international passport, family photograph too and other relevant information about this project.
Meanwhile, all communications between us will strictly be by e-mail contacts for security reasons to avoid anyone taping into our telephone conversations, which could easily get us away, this is majorly for security reasons. Since the original owner of this money whom you are now standing for as his next of kin, while you are yet alive in this terrible world full of various kinds of problems facing humanity, you owe a duty to God to make contribution to your society on social work and humanity, this project has given you the opportunity to do so, therefore, you have the committment to put in everything possible to make it work in order for our goals and objective of this
transaction to be achieved.
Your telephone is required in case the Attorney who will do the paper work will reasons to reach you by telephone during the execution of this project.As soon as i receive the above requirements, details of the attorney shall be release to you in due course.
