FROM THE DESK OF:
MR.WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD.BRANCH
CENTRAL HONG KONG
HONG KONG.
28th Sept 2005.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr Wang Qin, credit officer of Hang Seng Bank LTD,Hong Kong.I have an
urgent and very serious business proposition for you that should be handled
with extreme confidentiality.i am contacting you independently and no one is
aware of this communication between us,so if you are not interested,please
kindly discard this mail.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our client General.Hassan Fazi who was with
the Iraqi forces
and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit,for 18 calendar months
with a value
of Fourty Three Million,Six Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my
branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him
even during the war early this year but he never
responded. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no
response came
from him. We later found out that the General and
his family had been killed during the war in a
a bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Hassan Fazi
did not declare
any next of kin in his official papers including
all his bank deposit documents, 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 the sum of Fourty Three Million,Six 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 of three years the funds will revert to the ownership of the
Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, i urgently need a foreigner
to stand as the next of kin to Gen.Hassan Fazi so
that he will be able to receive this funds and later disburse it between
us.
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.Hassan Fazi ,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 swift transfer of the funds to an account that will be
provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all as we are going to adopt a very legal
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 70% for me, 25% for you and 5%for any
expenses incurred during the course of this
operation.
Should you be interested please send me your private phone and fax numbers
for easy communication,you can write me via my private box
thus:
(mrwangqin_56@yahoo.com.hk )
and i will provide you with more details of this
operation.
I Await your response urgentiy.
Best Regards
Mr.Wang Qin
