Subject: Would This Interest You.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr.Khalid Osman Mohammed credit officer of the HSBC Bank Honk Kong. I have an obscured business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General Quaser Abdul who (in this case I am his accounting officer) was with the Iraqi forces and also a businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for 18
calendar months and advised that after the maturity,the money should be transfered to our affiliate branch The United Arab Emirates(UAE).
Now, the total value of the money is Eleven million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars(11,500,000USD) only and the money is in our affiliate branch in Europe. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the Opration Iraqi Freedom. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. I as his accounting officer (as all correspondence to him is passed through me) later found out that the General and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation, I discovered that General Quaser Abdul 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, Eleven million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars(11,500,000USD) is still lying in my bank's Affiliate Branch in The United Arab Emirates(UAE) and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of The United Arab Emirates(UAE), as it concerns their banking rules, at the expiration of 3 years the funds will be reverted to our Bank in Hong Kong an this in turn will be reverted 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 General Quaser Abdul so that you will be able to receive his funds.
All that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the designated attorney can commence his job.
After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file 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. This in turn I will send to the Affiliate Bank in The United Arab Emirates(UAE).
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to 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, 30% for you.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr.Khalid Osman Mohammed.
