OFFICIAL LETTER
FROM:MR.CHOU MUI
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
choumui20023@o2.pl
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Chou Mui , Assistant
Director of Operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Sai Wan Ho Branch,
171 Shaukiwan Road Hong Kong.Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our
client Hamadi Hashem a business man made a numbered fixed deposit
of (346,736,899.68 HKD) for 18 calendar months,
this is valued to Forty Four million Five Hundred Thousand 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, Forty Four 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 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 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 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 file
in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and
letter of probate in your favour 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 endeavour 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, 30% for you . Should you be interested please send me your
full names and current residential address and I will prefer you to
reach me on the email address below..
(choumui20023@o2.pl) and finally after that I shall provide
you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Chou Mui
