Subject: Urgent Business Proposal
Mr. Wang Qin
Hang Seng Bank Ltd.
Des Voeux Rd, Branch,
Central Hong Kong,
Dear Friend,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Wang Qin Credit officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have
a Concealed business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our client General. Jacob Alanni
who was an Iraqi Business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 Calendar months, with a value of
Twenty Nine millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my Branch. Upon maturity
several notices was sent to him, during the war, and 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. Jacob Alanni 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 nine 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 5 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

contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary Document that will back you up as the next of kin

kin, the Attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate in your favour 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 Endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all matters
