PT Lee

 

Fraud.

One out of five.

My Greetings!

It is understandable that you might be a little bit apprehensive because you do not know me, Please forgive this unusual manner to contact you, but this particular letter/email is of exceptional and very private nature, as by virtue of my vantage position in Hang Seng Bank Ltd -Hong Kong i have a lucrative business proposal of mutual interest to share with you. There is no way for me to know whether I will be properly understood, but it is my duty to write and reach out to you, TRUSTING that you will give this proposal a positive consideration.

I am Mr.P. Lee a South Korean, 59 years old and happily married with children, and i am a Director of Hang Seng Bank Ltd,in charge of the International Remittance department. I will need you to assist me in executing a business project from our bank worth US$25.5 Million. These funds were deposited with our bank by a customer of our bank who is a national {citizen} of your country, who unfortunately died in the December
2004 Asia Tsunami disaster.

The deceased account has been declared dormants since 2006 and these funds will be confiscated/declared unserviceable and turned over to the Hong Kong government if the deceased business associates or next-of-kin did not claim this money; since all efforts to trace any living relative of the deceased proved abortive, I have decided that i will have you claim this money as the deceased business associate/or next-of-kin, since you are from the same country and perhaps have some similarities in certain areas. Everything concerning this transaction shall be LEGALLY done without hitch, as i was the deceased account Officer and all the relevant documents of this deposit were kept under my care.

Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue, as i hope that you are a sincere,honest,matured person and above all TRUSTWORTHY. Once the funds have been successfully transferred into your account, we shall share it in a ratio of 30% for you, 65% for me and my associates in the bank and the reminder 5% to take care of contingencies.

I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below :{
ptchunglee@hotmail.com) and finally after that I shall furnish you with more information about this operation. I am counting on your anticipated co-operation for a successful and hitch free business transaction between us, that will be mutually beneficial, for a start oblige me these

2. Current contact address:-

3. Your present Occupation:-

Just received this e-mail. These people must think we're stupid to even consider that this is legitimate.
