Subject: Letter From Mr Wang
MR. WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.
Dear Sir,
Let me start by introducing myself. 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/Iraqi war our
client General. Ibrahim Moussa who was with the Iraqi forces and also a
businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a
value of Twenty Millions, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in
my branch in september2002. Upon maturity several
notices were sent to him without a response. We later found 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
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 3 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 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. Ibrahim Moussa,
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 file 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 to adopt a
legal method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this
issue. Please remember to respond to my private email
wang9ng@yahoo.com.hk
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 transaction. Should you be interested
please send me your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication and
I will provide you with more details of this transaction.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Wang Qin
