FROM: CHEUNG PUI
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung Pui
director of operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have
an urgent business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi Bassem
who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made
a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a
value of Twenty Four 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 Major and his family had
been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their
home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that
Major Fadi Basem 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 Four 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 Major Fadi Basem 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
Major Fadi Basem , 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 to 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, 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, you can write me via my private box
(cheung222003@yahoo.com.hk)
and finally after that i shall provide you with more details
of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Cheung Pui
