Good Day , I am Mr. Patrick K. W. Chan. Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Col. Hosamnumbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Thirty Million United State Dollars($30,000,000.00) 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 Col. Hosam Hassan 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 our client Col.Hosam Hassan did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including thetime he was
at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Thirty Million United State Dollars($30,000,000.00)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 tothe funds.

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.
