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 General.Ibrahim Moussa who was with the
Iraqi forces and
also business man made a numbered of fixed deposit for 24
calendar
months, with a value of Twenty millions Five Hundred
Thousand United
State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several
notice was sent
to him, even during the war early this year.
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 has
been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their
home.After
further investigation it was also discovered that Gen.
Ibrahim Moussa
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers
including the
documents 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 millions 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 the laws of
my country at
the expiration of 3 years the funds will revert to 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 Gen.Ibrahim Moussa 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
to enable it
come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that
will prepare the
necessary document that will certify you as the next of
kin to
Gen.Ibrahim Moussa, 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 favor for
the move of
the funds to an account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in this matter as we are
going to adopt
a legal method and the attorney will prepare all the
necessary
documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost
confidentiality 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 transaction.
Should you be interested please send me your private phone
and fax
numbers for easy communication and I will provide you with
more details
of this operation.Your earliest response to this letter
will be
appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Wang Qin.
