THIS E-MAIL CAME FROM MONGOLIA

Good Day,

 

I am Mr. Vincent Cheng Hoi Chuen, GBS, JP Chairman of the Hong Kong and

Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited.

 

BRIGADIER AMER ALI NAYEF, a businessman and also who was with the Iraqi

forces, made a fixed deposit, of Twenty Two million Five Hundred Thousand

United State Dollars only in my branch, a number of notices was sent to

him, before the war which began in 2003 and also after the war but, no

response came from him. We later found out that Brigadier Amer Ali Nayef

was shot dead along with his son, Khalid Amer also in the force as they

left the family home for work in the south of the city.

 

After more inquiry it was also discovered that the late Brigadier, did not

declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of

his bank deposit. What bothers me most is according to the laws of my

country at the expiration of 6 years the funds will be reverted to the

ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody comes for the funds,

Against this scenery, I have all the information needed to claim these

funds and I want you to act as the beneficiary of the deposit, there is no

risk involved in this matter, as we are going to adopt a legitimate method

and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.

 

All I require is your honest co-operation and I guarantee that this will

be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any

breach of the law. Please accept my apologies, keep my confidence and

disregard this email if you do not appreciate this proposition I have

offered you.

 

and I will let you know what is required of you. Your earliest response to

this letter will be appreciated.

 

Best Regards,

Mr. Vincent Cheng
