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
millions Five Hundred Thousand
United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon
maturity several notice was
sent to him, even during the war and 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 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
prefers you to reach me on the email address below :
E-mail:cheungpui@k.ro
Tel/Fax:852-301-61720
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
