Subject: AN INVITATION TO TREAT!!!
Good Day,
I am Mr. Vincent Cheng Hoi Chuen, GBS, JP Chairman of the Hong Kong and
Shanghai Banking
Corporation Limited.
Our client 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 7 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.
All confirmable documents to back up the claims will be made available to
you prior to your
acceptance and as soon as I receive your return mail Via my email address:
choi_chu24@yahoo.com.hk
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
