MR. WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.
Dear Sir,
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
