Subject: HELLO
Dah Sing Bank, Limited,
G/F, 18A-22 King Kwong Street,
Happy Valley,
Hong Kong.
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Peter Chang credit officer of
the Dah Sing Bank.
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 business man made a
numbered fixed deposit for 18
calendar months, with a value of Twenty 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
find 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. 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 millions 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 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 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 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.
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 70% for
me, 25% for you and 5% for any
expenses incurred during the course of this peration. Should you be
interested please send me your private
phone and fax numbers for easy communication,please reply to my private
email box{peterchan555@myway.com} and i will provide you with more details
of this
operation.Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Peter Chang.
