Dear Friend,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung Pui director of
operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Hong kong.
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 million Five Hundred Thousand United
State Dollars only in my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him,even during the war
early last year.Again after the waranother 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 wasalso discovered that Major Fadi Basem did not
declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper
workof 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 million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is
still lyingin 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 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, Email:
(puicheung_213hk@yahoo.com.hk)
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
