Subject: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY(ASSISSTANT DIRECTOR HANG SENG BANK)
FROM:MR.CHOU MUI
HANG SENG BANK LTD,
HONG KONG.
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 a business man made a numbered
fixed deposit of (346,736,899.68 HKD) for 18 calendar months, this is
valued to Fourty 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 bomb blast that hit
their
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 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 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
legalised method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary
documents.Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all matters
concerning
this issue.
Note that you will be highly compensated in your involvement
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.
E-mail:chuomee@yahoo.com.hk
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
