CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.
email:simwong24@netscape.net
I am Mr.Simon Wong, credit officer of the Dah Sing Bank Ltd.I have a
concealed business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war,our client General. Hassan Fazi
who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar
months, with a value of Fourty Three Million,Six 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 find out that the General and his family had been killed during
the war in bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Hassan
Fazi 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, Fourty Three Million,Six 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 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.Hassan Fazi 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.Hassan Fazi ,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 funds to an account
that will be provided by you. There is no risk involved at all in the matter
as we are going 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, 25% for you and 5%for any expenses incurred during the course of this operation.
Should you be interested please send me your private phone and fax
numbers for easy communication, you can write me via my private box
thus:
(simwong24@netscape.net) and i will provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr.Simon Wong
