OFFICIAL LETTER
FROM:MR.CHOU MUI
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
cchoumui2001@uymail.com
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Chou Mui , Assistant Director
of Operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Sai Wan Ho Branch,171 Shaukiwan Road
Hong Kong.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 and still 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 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 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 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..
(cchoumui2001@uymail.com) and finally after that I shall provide you with
more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Chou Mui
