MR. WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.
(il_qin@yahoo.com)
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 General.Ibrahim Moussa who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman 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 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 to the laws of my country at the expiration 3 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 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 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 and I will provide you with more details of this operation. My E-mail
(il_qin@yahoo.com).com)

Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Mr. Wang Qin.

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for your response, and your interest in this transaction. Like I said before,due to this issue on my hands now,it became necesary for me to seek your assistance, I appreciate the fact that you are ready to assist me in executing this project,and also to help me in investing my money in your country. You should not have anything to worry
about. I will do everything legally required to ensure that the project goes smoothly,it shall pass through all Laws of International Banking
Having resolved to entrust this transaction into your hands, I want to remind you that, it needs your commitment and diligent follow up.If you work seriously,the entire transaction should be over in a couple of days.
READ THE FOLLOWING AND GET BACK TO ME:
Firstly, I will want to know the type of occupation that you do and how
old you are. You should note that this project is highly capital intensive.
This is why I have to be very careful. I need your total devotion and trust
to see this through. I know we have not met before,but I am very confident that we will be able to establish the necessary trust that we need to execute this project.
I am now in contact with a foreign online bank. I now intend that you open
an account in your name in this foreign bank.The money would be transfered
to your account which you will open in the bank for both of us, this is the best way,I have found,it will protect us from my bank.
I want us to enjoy this money in peace when we conclude. So you should listen
to my instructions and follow them religiously. Also You have to know that
I cannot transfer this money in my name as my bank will be aware that it
is from me. This is where I need you.
As result of this,you will have to open an account in the corresponding bank. I will obtain a certificate of deposit from this my
bank,it will be issued in your name. This will make you the bonafide owner of the funds. After this,the money will be banked online for both of us. We can then instruct the bank to transfer our various shares into our respective
home bank accounts. I will also perfect the documentations with the assistance
of my attorney to give the transaction the legal right. Before I commence,I will need you to send me a copy of any form your
identification (Driver's licence or International passport) and your current address. I want to be sure that I am transacting with the correct person. As soon
as I get these from you,I will commence the paper work. I hope you will understand why I need all these. The money in question
is big and I want to ensure that I know you well before I proceed to give you
all the details to commence the project. I will also send you my international
passport upon receipt of your identification.
I will send the name and contact details of the bank and their website to
you so that you can commence communication with them. Our local telephones lines could be intercepted easily,so they are not
safe for the project. So untill I have installed a more private means of communication i suggest we maintain contact via email.
Ensure that you keep this project confidential, do not discuss it with anybody,
because of the confidential nature of this transaction and my work. Attached to this mail is acopy of my passport and the deposit slip.
Please reply soonest.

Regards,
Wang Qin.

I´m negotiating this bank in Cayman Islands that I will open a account there, I allready have few accounts there but they are my offshore companies and few of my trustee agents. I will use my own information to do this so I will do this personally. That way I can be sure that everyhing go as planned. I will give my Lawyer this information and he will do everything ready for transaction.
My Lawyer Mr. Emmanuel Sanchez will be contacting you pretty soon for more information needed. I in otherhand will have to make a short business trip to Kuala Lumpur, India I will be there over the weekend. I´m back at my office here in Paris monday. Then I can provide u those identification papers so hope you can wait a few days. My plane leaves shortly and I´m on my way to airport as I write this E-mail on my limo. But don´t worry Mr. Qin I handle this business and in monday I will be able to contact you on this matter. My lawyer Mr. Sanchez will contact you via E-mail this weekend.
