Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
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 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 24 calendar months, with a value of Twenty Four millions
Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon
maturity several notices 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 of 3 years the funds
will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody
applies to claim the funds. It is against this background I am
requesting that you act as the benefactor of this fund as I am not in
position to stand as the beneficiary since only a foreigner can stand
as the next of kin to Major Fadi Basem.
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 transfer 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 70% for me,
30%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 :[Cheung2007pui@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,
Cheung Pui.
