Subject: GOODDAY,PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO READ CAREFULLY!!!
From:Mr. Cheung Pui
Hang Seng Bank Ltd.
Sai Wan Ho Branch,
83, Des Voeux Road,
Hong Kong.
E-mail:cheungpui_hsbdop@yahoo.com.hk
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Cheung Pui director of
operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd, Sai Wan-Ho Branch. I have an
obscured business suggestion for you. One of our clients/personal
friend, Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American who was a private business
man unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines
Flight 261 which crashed on January 31st 2000, including his wife and
only daughter.
You can read more about the crash on visiting these sites below,
1. http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list
2. http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
Before the plane crash, Mr. Morris Thompson made a numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months with a value of US$24,500,000.00 (Twenty
Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, another notification was
sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that Mr.
Morris Thompson and his family had been killed in that plane crash.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr. Morris
Thompson next of kin is his daughter who died with him. What bothers me
most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration 4
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 Mr. Morris Thompson so that you will be able to receive
these funds for both of us.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we
shall come out successfully. I have contacted an attorney that will
prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin
to Mr. Morris Thompson, 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 file in for claims on your behalf and secure the
necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the movement
of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.
This process is 100% risk free as we have set out all the modalities to
see that a legalized method is used because the attorney will prepare
all the necessary documents. Please note that utmost secrecy and
confidentiality is required at all times during this transaction. Once
the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall
share in the ratio of 65% for me, 30% for you and 5% set aside for any
incidental expenses incurred during this transaction. If you are not
interested, please delete this letter so that I can scout for another
competent partner to conclude this transaction. Should you be interested
please send me your full names, telephone/fax number, and email address.
I will prefer that you reach me via this email
address(cheungpui_hsbdop@yahoo.com.hk)
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Cheung Pui.
