MR. WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK 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 our client Hamadi Hashem a business
man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of
Twenty one million 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, Twenty one
millions 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 this 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 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 a
legalized 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 bank account we shall
share in the ratio of 65% for me, 30% for you and 5% for any expenses
incurred during the course of this operation.
Should you be interested please send me your Full names and address and I
will provide you with more details of this operation.l will prefers you to
reach me
via this email for security purpose.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Wang Qin
