Subject: Dear Friend
DEAR FRIEND,
I am Mr peter wong Executive Director of the Hang Seng
Bank Ltd, taiwan.An Iraqi named Besem Faruak
a business man, made a numbered fixed deposit of
(126,336,8299.38 hk) for 18 calendar months, this is
valued to Eight million United State Dollars only in
my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him even
during the war four years ago (2003). Again after the
war another notification was sent and
still no response came from him. We later found out
that Besem Faruak and his family had been killed
during the war in Gunfire that hit their
home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was.
After further investigation it was also discovered
that Besem Faruak 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 we were
at my office that no one except me knew of his
deposit in my bank. So, Eigth milion United State
Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to
claim it. What bothers me is that according to the laws of my country
at the expiration five years six months, the funds will
revert to the ownership of the hong kong Government if
nobody applies to claim the funds.
My proposal, I am prepared to place you as the next of
kin in a position to instruct HANG SENG BANK to
release the deposit to you as the closest
surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am
prepared to share the money with you in half. That is:
I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to
you. We share the procentange50/50.
I would have gone ahead to ask the funds being released
to me, but that would have drawn a straight line in
my involvement in claiming the deposit.
I assure you that I could have the deposit
released to you within a few days.
I will simply inform the bank of the final closing
of the file relating to Besem Faruak, I will then
officially communicate with my
Bank and instruct them to release the deposit to
you. With these: all is done.
I am aware of the consequences of this
proposal.should be interested in executing this with
me,indicate your interest by sending me the following:
1. YOUR NAME
2. YOUR RESIDENT ADDRESS
3. YOUR OCCUPATION
4. YOUR PHONE NUMBER
5. DATE OF BIRTH
6. COUNTRY OF RESIDENT
Your response with the requested information should be
sent to reach me at my personal email address below:
peterwong_3@yahoo.com.hk
I shall then provide you with more details on this
operation when I hear from you.
Sincerely,
Mr.peter wong
