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 $9.5 Million (Nine Million,Five 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 found 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(simmwong@gawab.com)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
