Subject: personal
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 obscured 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 this 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 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,
(cheung542003@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
