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 from 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 currentresidential address.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated and I will prefers
you to reach me on this email (cheung_pui101@walla.com)
Kind Regards
Mr. Cheung Pui.
