OFFICIAL OFFER..
FROM:MR CHOU MUI
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
chomui9@uymail.com
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Chou Mui
Assistant Director ofOperations of the Hang Seng Bank
Ltd,Sai Wan Ho Branch 171 Shaukiwan Road HongKong.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our client Hamadi Hashem
a business man made a numbered fixed deposit of
(346,736,899.68 HKD) for 18 calendar months, this is
valued to Forty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United
State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several
notice was sent to him, even during the war,two years ago
(2003). Again after the war another notification was sent
andstill no response came from him. We later found out that
Hamadi Hashem and his family had been killed during the war
in a bomb blast that hit his home at Mukaradeeb where his
personal oil well was.

After further investigation it was also discovered that
Hamadi Hashem 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 Four million 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 four years six months
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 Hamadi
Hashem 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 Hamadi Hashem .
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 file in for claims on your behalf and secure
the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favour for the
move of thefunds 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 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 . Should you be interested please send me your full
names and current residential address and I will prefer you to reach
me on the email address below(chomui9@uymail.com)and finally after
that I shall provide you with more detailsof this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Chou Mui
