Subject: PLEASE, READ AND GET BACK TO ME PLEASE,
FROM:Mr.Cheung Pui
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
Fu Shan Mansion
25 Taikoo Shing Road
Taikoo Shing Branch
Hong Kong.
Email:cheung_pui401@yahoo.com.hk
Let me start by introducing my self. I am Mr. Cheung Pui director of
operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.
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 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 Major and his family had been killed during the
war in bomb blast that hit their home.
You can read more about the bombings on visiting these sites below:
1.http://www.ccmep.org/usbombingwatch/2003.htm#3/19/03
2.http://civilians.info/iraq/deaths_data.php
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 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 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 outso 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 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, private phone/fax
and current residential address, and I will prefers you to reach me on the
email address below,
(cheung_pui401@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
Mr. Cheung Pui
