MR. WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
83 DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONG KONG.
Email:wanqinr@yahoo.com.hk
Dear Sir,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Wang Qin, a credit officer
of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd and I have a concealed business proposal for
your consideration.
Before the U.S/Iraqi war, our client, General Ibrahim Moussa who was
with the Iraqi forces and also business man, made a tenored fixed deposit
for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty millions Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity, several
notices were sent to him during the war and early this year. Even after
the war another notification was sent and yet no response came from
him. We later found out, however,that the General and his family had been
killed during the war in one of the bomb blasts that hit their home.
On investigation,it was discovered that Gen. Ibrahim Moussa did not
declare any next of kin in his official papers including his bank deposit
documentation. However, during my last discussion with him in my
office,he confided in me that no one except me knew of his deposit in my
bank. Consequently, the sum of Twenty millions Five Hundred Thousand United
State Dollars is still lying in my bank without the knowledge of any
other party and hence,and no one will ever come forward to claim it.
My worry right now is that according to the laws of my country, at the
expiration of 3 years, ownership of the the funds will revert to the
Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
It is against this backdrop that we require your assistance in the
retrieval of this amount. To this end, i suggest you, as a foreigner, stand
as the next of kin to Gen. Ibrahim Moussa so that you will be able to
receive the funds. This is about the only way we can withdraw the funds;
otherwise, it falls into the coffers of the Hong Kong government.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want to assure you that I have everything flawlessly planned out to
ensure hitch-free implementation, so that we shall come out successful.
I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the relevant documents
necessary to back you up as the next of kin to Gen.Ibrahim Moussa. All
that is required of you at this stage is for you to provide me with your
Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence preparation of
the requisite documenmts.
The attorney is to file in the necessary papers to support your claim
as the next of kin on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and
letter of probate in your favor for the transfer of the funds to an
account, details of which would be provided by you.
Rest assured that there is no risk involved at all in the matteras we
are going to adopt a legal and acceptable approach supported by
documents prepared by the attorney. Please endeavor to observe utmost
discretion in all matters concerning this transaction.
You may reply to my email box,: wanqinr@yahoo.com.hk
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 the transaction.
Your prompt response to this letter will be appreciated.
Yours sincerely
Mr. Wang Qin
