Subject: Hello
MR. SONG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONG KONG.
Dear Sir,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Song Qin credit officer of
The Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a concealed business proposal 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 were
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 found
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 3 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 this 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 movement 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. You should reply only to this mailbox (songqin1@tiscali.it)
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.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kindest regards
Qin
