MR.SIMON WONG
DAH SING BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.
RETURN EMAIL:simonwong01234@yahoo.com.sg

Dear Friend,

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, 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
