FROM THE DESK OF MR. SIMON WONG
DAH SING BANK LTD.
19 DES VOEUX RD.
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.
EMAIL:mrsimwong@yahoo.com.hk
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Simon Wong, credit officer of Dah Sing Bank Ltd, Hong Kong. I have
an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On october 15, 1999, our client Mr. Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah who was the deputy
governor of Baghdad in Iraq and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit
for 12 calendar months, with a value of Fourty Millions Five Hundred Thousand
United State Dollars only in my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even after the war late this
year.
Another notification was sent and still no response came from him.
We later find out that the Governor has been assasinated in Baghdad.
The websites below is a verification of the news about his death:

After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr. Hatem Kamil Abdul
Fatah 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.
According to the Hong Kong Law,under china's foreign and defense affairs,at
the expiration of 5 (five) years,such funds will revert to the ownership
of the chinese Government for financing military operations,such as purchasing
of arms and ammunitions for the military.
In order to avert this negative development,i will like to seek for your
permission as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Hatem Kamil
Abdul Fatah so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not be use for
financing weapons which will further enhance the courses of war in the world
in general.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of
60% for me and 30% for you and 10% for Expenses Incurred in the course of
the transaction.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction
will be done by my attorney and with my position as the credit officer guarantees
the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested,please
reply immediately.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and that will
help you understand the transaction.
You should observe utmost confidentiality,and rest assured that this transaction
would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance
to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks and regards.
Mr.Simon Wong
