MR. WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONG KONG.
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Wang Qin, credit officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. It is indeed my pleasure to write to you this letter, which I believe will be a surprise to you. I actually found your contact details at the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
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 a business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$26,500.000.00) only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices were 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 had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigations, it was also discovered that Gen. Ibrahim Moussa 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 Six 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 of 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 Gen. Ibrahim Moussa so that you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
Please note that this transaction is 100% risk free and we shall abide strictly to all the legal procedures as contained in our laws and international laws, and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. The utmost priority of both of us is confidentiality and secrecy because I am still in active service with my bank. Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.
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 documents that will back you up 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 for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favour for the movement of the funds.
Once the funds have been transferred, we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the course of this operation.
Should you be interested, please contact me via my personal/secure email address: wangqin1@hangseng-bank.com , as I am not fluent in speaking English. It is easier for me to write.
As soon as I get your response, I will provide you with more details of this operation. Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Wang Qin.
