Subject: FROM MR WANG QIN HONG KONG
MR. WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.
EMAIL:mrwang_qin_hsb@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 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 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:mrwang_qin_hsb@yahoo.com.hk
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Wang Qin
