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.

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. 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.

Mr. Wang Qin
