Let me start by introducing myself. I am DR.Yong Ling Director of Operations
of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Sai Wan Ho Branch.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 a business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18
calendar months, with a value "DEPOSIT" only in my branch.Upon maturity
several notice was sent to him, even during the war two years
ago(2003).Again after the war another notification was sent and still no
response came from him. We later found 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,fund 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 laws of my country at the expiration four
years six months 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.
Please,if you are capable of standing as the next of Kin to Major Fadi
Basem,you should indicate so that i will give you more information.
Absolute confidentiality is required from you.Besides,I will use my
connection to get some documents to back up the fund so that the fund can
not be question by any authourity.
More information await you in my next response to your email message.
Please,reply me on my confidential email(yongling@katamail.com)for more
information.
Treat as very urgent.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr.Yong Ling.
