Mr. Wang Qin.
DAH SING BANK LTD.
19 DES VOEUX RD.
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.
Dear One,
I am Mr. wang qin, 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
Six Million five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars($6,500,000) 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, Six 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.
