MR. WANG QIN
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 conceald 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 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 notice was sent to him, even during the war. Again
after the war
another notification was sent and still date no response came from him.
We later find out that the General and his family had been killed during
the war in a 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 fill in for claims on your behalf and
secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for
the move of the fund to an account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in this transaction as we are going to
adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary
documents. Please
endeavor 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, 30% for you.
Should you be interested please send me your Full names, address tel/fax
number 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
