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 and Iraqi war our client our client Hamadi Hashem a business
man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of
Twenty one million
United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity
several notice was sent to him, even during the war. two years ago (2003).
Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came
from him. We later found out that Hamadi Hashem and his family had been
killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit his home at Mukaradeeb where
his personal oil well was.

After further investigation it was also discovered that Hamadi Hashem 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 one
millions 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 four years six months 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 Hamadi Hashem so that you will be
able to receive this 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 Hamadi Hashem
, 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 65% for me, 30% for you and 5% for any expenses
incurred during the course of this operation.
Should you be interested please send me your Full names and address and I
will provide you with more details of this operation.l will prefers you to
reach me via this email
for security purpose.
Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Wang Qin
