Subject: DEAR FRIEND
MR. WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONG KONG.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Let me start by introducing my self. I am Mr. Wang Qin, credit officer of
the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a concealed business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General. Ibrahim Moussa who was with
the Iraqi forces and also a business man made a numbered fixed deposit for
18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty Six Million Five Hundred
Thousand
United State Dollars (US$26,500.000.00) only in my branch. Upon maturity
several notices were 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 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 Six
Million, 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 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. 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 documents 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 as you would like them to appear in the
documentation. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will
also file for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and
letter of probate in your favor for the movement of the funds. There is
no risk involved at all in the matter 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, we shall share in the ratio of
60% for me, 35% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the course
of this operation. Should you be interested, please contact me via email the
above email strictly as I am not fluent in English and I would like all
communication to be via email. As soon as I get your response, I will
provide you with more details of this operation. Your earliest response to
this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Wang Qin
