Can somebody tell me whether or not this is a scam? I replied "What is it?" although it is still too early in the morning to know whether or not I will get a response.

Will someone please help me?!

It is an advance fee fraud scam, where the scammer will ask you to pay some fees to release a large sum of not existing money. Don't fall for this scam!

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.

CHAN, CHAK HUNG.
BANK OF EAST ASIA, LIMITED

Dear Friend,

It is understandable that you might be apprehensive because you do not
know me but I have a lucrative business proposal of mutual interest to share with you.
I am Chan Chak Hung,Foreign operation
Manager of the Bank of East Asia Limited (China), 10 Des Voeux Road Central, China. Recently,I discovered that an
Account Owned by General Ahmed Kamal, who was an Iraqi forces
and also a businessman(Jeweler) made a numbered fixed deposit for 12 calendar
months, with a value of Two Million Three Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only into an account with my branch,
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, but there was no response.
Consequently, another notification was sent and still no
response came from him. We later find out that General Ahmed Kamal and
his Governor who is served as the chief police officer had been killed when
a roadside bomb hit their convoy of vehicles at Diwaniya where his personal oil well was.
After further inquiries, it was discovered that General Ahmed Kamal
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers, including the
paper work of his bank deposit. The last time he came to my office, he
confided in me that no one knew of this deposit in my bank. What
bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country, at the
expiration of six{6} years,the funds will be revert to the ownership
of the China Government, if nobody applies to claim it. Against
this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like to accost you
as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to General Ahmed Kamal, so
that you will be able to receive his funds.

MODALITIES:
I want you to know that all modalities for the successful of this
transfer to you have been mapped out and success is 100% sure. I have
an attorney that will prepare the necessary documents that will back
you up as the next of kin to General Ahmed Kamal, all that is required
from you is 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 file for
claims on your behalf and also secure the necessary approval and
letter of probate in your favor for the movement of the funds to an
account that will be provided by you. We are going to adopt a
legalized method because the attorney will prepare all necessary
documents in your favor..
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 share in the ratio of 50% for me, 50% for you.
I sent you this mail not without a measure of uncertainty as to what the
consequences entails.
If you are interested,please send me your:
Full names and address.Telephone and fax numbers.
And finally after that I shall furnish you with more informations
about this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards
Chan Chak Hung
