MR. WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.
I am Mr. Wang Qin credit officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.I have a
concealed business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our client General. Ibrahim Moussa who
was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty millions Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war early
this year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still
no response came from him. We later find out that the General and his
family had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Ibrahim
Moussa 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, Twenty 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 to the laws of my country at the
expiration three 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 Gen. Ibrahim Moussa so that you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we
shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare
the
necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to
Gen.Ibrahim Moussa,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
letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account
that
will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going 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
share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you and 5% for any expenses
incurred during the course of this operation.
Should you be interested please send me your private phone and fax numbers
and
i will provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Wang Qin
