MR. SIMON WONG
DAH SING BANK LTD.
19 DES VOEUX RD.
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.
EMAIL:project0012004@netscape.net
For your kind attention,
I am Mr. Simon Wong, senior credit officer of the Dah Sing Bank Ltd.I have
a concealed business proposal for you.
After the United State and Iraqi war, our client Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah
who was the deputy governor of Baghdad in Iraq and also business man made
a numbered fixed deposit for 12 calendar months, with a value of Fourty
Millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even after the war late this
year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response
came from him. We later find out that the Governor has been assasinated
in Baghdad.
The websites below is a verification of the news about his death:

http://www.uslaboragainstwar.org/article.php?id=6979
After further investigation it was also discovered that Hatem Kamil Abdul
Fatah 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 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 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 Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah so that you will be able to receive
his funds.
THE PREREQUISITE OF THE PROJECT
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 Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah,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 60% for me, 30% for you and 10% for any expenses
incurred during the course of this operation.
Should you be interested please send me your full particulars including
your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication, you can write

provide you with more details of this operation as well as my particulars.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
