MR. WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.
EMAIL: pwang030@yahoo.com.hk
Hello,
Compliment of the day,Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Wang Qin
credit officer of the Hang
Seng Bank Ltd in Hong kong. 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 ($20.5
M)Twenty million 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 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 3
years the funds will revert to the ownership of the HongKong 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 ne cessary 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 file 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.
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 private
phone and fax numbers for
easy communication and I will provide you with more details of this
operation.
Please reply through this EMAIL: pwang030@yahoo.com.hk or call me on
+447031841023 for i am
currently working in The United kingdom with our branch there.Your earliest
response to this letter will
be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Wang Qin
