I have an obscured<br>business suggestion for you. In November, 1999, Ahmad Fahmi an<br>Indonesian, a contractor with the Iraqi Government and also a<br>businessman, made a time investment of US$24.5M as secured growth<br>funds for (60) sixty calendar months in my Branch. This investment has<br>matured and has been lying in our Bank reserve for the past two years,<br>and under the Hong Kong banking laws, any time Investment unclaimed<br>after three years will be turned over to the Hong Kong Government<br>purse.<\/p>\n<p>Upon maturity several notices were sent to him and no response came<br>from him. Early This year, it was later discovered that the Ahmad<br>Fahmi and his family were killed in a convoy attack in Musol, Iraqi on<br>22nd Aug, 2004. After further investigation it was also discovered<br>that Ahmad Fahmi did not declare any next of kin in his official<br>papers including the paper work of his Bank deposit. And he also<br>confided in me the last time he was in my Office that no one except me<br>knew of his deposit in my Bank.<\/p>\n<p>Against this backdrop. I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the<br>next of kin to Ahmad Fahmi so that you will be able to receive this<br>funds. I have contacted an Attorney that will prepare the necessary<br>document that will back you up as the next of kin to Ahmad Fahmi and<br>also the rightful beneficial to the funds. After you have been made<br>the next of kin, the Attorney will also fill in for claims on your<br>behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your<br>favour for the transfer of the funds to your nominated bank account.We<br>are going adopt a legalized method and the Attorney will prepare all<br>the necessary documents.Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion<br>in all matters concerning this issue. What is required from you at<br>this stage is for you to provide me with your full names, address,<br>direct telephone and fax numbers to enable my Attorney commence his<br>job.<\/p>\n<p>Reply strictly if you are interested with the requested information<br>via my personal email address hshjunhuan12@hotmail.com to enable<br>the Attorney commences his job immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Mr.Jun Huan.<br>hshjunhuan12@hotmail.com<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7622297540113836091-2352275215875324260?l=exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a while since I\u2019ve posted about scam e-mails, but a couple have made it past my spam filter in recent days, and so I thought it might be worth warning the gullible out there.
