Mr Simon Wong,
Dah Sing Bank Ltd.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONG KONG.
1st July 2005.
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
familyhad 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 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.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
phone and fax
numbers for easy communication
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
