FROM: CHEUNG PUI
(cheungpui_2k@yahoo.com.hk)
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 . Again after the war another notification
was sent and still no response came from him. We later found 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($24,500,000,00) 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 5 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 will contact my attorney to 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 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 70% for me, 30% for you . Should you be
interested please send me your full names and current residential address
and I will prefer you to reach me on the email address below
(cheungpui_2k@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.
