Anyone else get this email? I'd love to forward this to someone who could scare/take action on these individuals. Is it legal to send this type of email?


-------------------------------------------------------------

MR. Song Li le
Hang Seng Bank Ltd.
Sai Wan Ho Branch,
83, Des Voeux
Road,Hong Kong.
(songlileprivacy@yahoo.com.hk)

Dear Friend,
Let me
start by introducing myself.I am Mr. SONG LI LE director of operations
of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.I have an obscured business suggestion for
you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Colonel Sadiq Uday who was
with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Nineteen millions Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only 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 find 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. You can read more about the bombings on
visiting these sites below:

1.http://www.ccmep.org/usbombingwatch/2003.
htm#3/19/03
2.http://civilians.info/iraq/deaths_data.php

After further
investigation it was also discovered that Colonel Sadiq Uday 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,
Nineteen millions 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 5 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 Colonel Sadiq Uday so that you will be
able to receive his funds.

MODALITIES:

I want you to know that I
have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I
have an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will
back you up as the next of kin to Colonel Sadiq Uday, all that is
required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full
Names 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 of probate
in your favour for the move 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. Once the funds have been
transferred to your nominated bank account we shall then share in the
ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you.Should you be interested please send
me your,
1,Full names,
2,private phone number,
3,current residential
address.

And I will prefer you reach me on my private email address
below: (songlileprivacy@yahoo.com.hk) and finally after that I shall
provide you with more details of this operation.Your earliest response
to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Mr. Song Li le

Considering he is asking you to take part in a con, I would say that it is not legal. Otherwise, seems legit. I would definitely go for it.

Isn't there somewhere you're supposed to report those Nigerian e-mails to? This is the same thing, so send this to them as well.

It's just spam. I get hundreds of those daily on all of my email accounts. Whether it's scam (50%) or product ads (50%) it's all illegal.

yeah, but they send them from servers in countries that the stuff is legal so most of the time you can't really do anything about it.

First thing that I thought was, "At least he didn't pretend to be an wealthy African businessman who needs helps moving his money."
