Subject: Bank Investment Project.
FROM DAH SING BANK LTD.
19 DES VOEUX RD.CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONG KONG.
swong205@lycos.com
I am Mr. Simon Wong credit officer of the Dah Sing 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
business man 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.
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 nvestigation 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 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 equired 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
weare going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all
the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe ultmost 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 70% for me,25% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the
course of this operation. Should you be interested please send me your
private phone and fax numbers for easy communication, you can write me
via the above
email box and i will provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
You can aswell reply to my personal email address: swong205@lycos.com
Kind Regards.
