Good Day,
INVESTMENT/PARTNERSHIP RELATIONSHIP.
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 General. Fadi Bassem who was a
business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a
value of Twenty four millions Five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars($24.5 million USD) 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 General. 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 General.
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 Gen. 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 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, 25% for you and 5% 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
appreciate you to reach me through this secure email below,Email:

Kind Regards
Mr. Cheung Pui.
