Subject: Confirm Receipt (From Hong Kong)
From: Mr. Cheung Pui
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
Sai Wan Ho Branch
171 Shaukiwan Road
Hong Kong.
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung Pui credit officer of
the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a concealed business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi Bassem 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 early this year.
Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came
rom him. We later find out that the General 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 Bassem
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 laws of my country at the expiration 3 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 Bassem 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
Bassem, 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 file 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 60% for me, 30% for you and 10% for any
expenses incurred during the course of this operation.
Should you be interested please send me your full names and current
residential address. Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated and I will prefers you to reach me on this email
Kind Regards
Mr. Cheung Pui.
