Dear Friend,
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 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 discovered that Major Fadi Basem did
not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work
of his bankdeposit. 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 willever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is
that according to the 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 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 to
your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30%
for you . Should you be interested please send me your full names and
current residential address and I will prefer you to reach
me on the email address below;
(cheu_ng01@primposta.com)
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.
