Does anyone actually fall for this nonsense?

Quote
From MR. PATRICK CHAN.
Email: (patrckchaaannn@yahoo.com.hk)
Good Day

I am Mr. Patrick Chan, Executive Director and C.F.O of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a concealed business suggestion for you.

Our client Gen Khalid Ali Abdullah who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman, made a fixed deposit, with a value of Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch, several notices was sent to him, before the war which began in 2003. Also after the war another notification was sent, and 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 more inquiry it was also discovered that this Gen. did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. 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 scenery, my suggestion, I will like you to stand as next of kin to Gen Khalid Ali Abdullah so that you will be able to receive his funds.I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful.

There is no risk involved at all in this matter, as we are going toadopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.

Should you be interested send me the following so that the Attorney can commence his job:
1, Full names,
2, private phone number,
3, current residential address, 

And I prefer you reach me on my private email address above after which I shall provide you with more details on this operation.

Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Mr. Patrick Chan.
