State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent=20
to him, even during the war early this year.Again after the war=20
another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We=20
later find out that Col.Hosam Hassan and his famil y had been killed=20
during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.

After further investigation it was also discovered that Col. Hosam=20
Hassan did not declare any next of kin in his official papers=20
including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in=20
me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his=20
deposit in my bank.So, Thirty million United State Dollar is still=20

bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the=20
expiration 4 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong=20

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 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.
=20
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to adopt=20
a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary
documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters
concerning this issue.
