CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.

Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Simon Wong
credit officer of Dah Sing Bank Ltd.I have a beneficial
business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Mr. Hatem Kamil
Abdul Fatah who was a contractor to the Iraqi forces and
also business man and deputy governor of Baghdad, made a
numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value
of Twenty-four Million,Five hundred thousand United States
Dollars only in my branch [US$24,500,000.00].
Upon maturity several notices were sent to him, even during
the war. Again after further much notification to his
business address and still no response came from him. We
later found out that Mr Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah was killed
in a drive-by shooting, and his entire family died in a
bomb blast that hit their home respectively
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3970619.stm)
After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr.
Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah 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-four Million,Five hundred thousand United
States 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 three years 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
Mr.Hatem Kamil Abdul fatah 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 Mr.Hatem Kamil Abdul
Fatah,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 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 to 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 and 30% for you.
Should you be interested please send me your private phone
and fax numbers for easy communication, you can write me via
my private box:
swongs1@hong-kong-1.com , and I will provide you with more
details of this operation.Your earliest response to this
letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Simon Wong
Dah Sing Bank Ltd.
