MR CHEUNG PUI
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
Sai Wan Ho Branch
171 Shaukiwan Road
Hong Kong.
E-MAIL: cheungpui_hk1@yahoo.com.hk
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung Pui director of operations
of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a obscured business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi Basem 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 million 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 discoveredthat 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 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 to your nominated bank account
we shall share in the ratio of 60% for me, 40%for you . Should you be interested
please send me your full names and current residential address and I will
prefers you to reach me on the email address below
( cheungpui_hk1@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
