Dear Sir,
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. Ibrahim Moussa who was
with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit
for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty millions Five 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.Ibrahim Moussa 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 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 four 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. Ibrahim Moussa 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. Ibrahim
Moussa, 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 alegalized 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 bankaccount we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you
and 5% for anyexpenses incurred during the course of this operation.
Should you be interested please send me your private phone and fax numbers
to this email address (wa_qinhk@hotmail.com) 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. Wang Qin
