CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.
Email:swonghk2005@yahoo.com.hk
I am Mr.Simon Wong, credit officer of the Dah Sing Bank Ltd.I have a
concealed business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our client General. Hassan Fazi who was
with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Fourty Three Million,Six
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. Hassan
Fazi 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, Fourty Three Million,Six 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.Hassan Fazi 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.Hassan Fazi ,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 for easy communication, you can write me via my private box thus:
(swonghk2005@yahoo.com.hk) and i will provide you with more details of
this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr.Simon Wong
