Subject: TREAT AS URGENT!!!
CITIZENS INTERNATION BANK PLC
From the desk of: mrs janet Smith

Private email: head_manager@citizensbanknigplc.net
For your kind attention,
I am mrs janet Smith, 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
Forty Million Five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars ($40,500,000) 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 assassinated in Baghdad.
The websites below is a verification of the news about
his death:

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, Forty Million Five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars ($40,500,000) 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.
THE PREREQUISITE OF THE PROJECT
I want you to know that I have had everything worked
out so that we shall come out successful in this
project.
I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the
necessary document that will back you up as the next
of kin to Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah, all that is
required from you at this stage is for you to provide

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 to adopt a legalized
method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary
documents.

matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have
