Mr. Fong Edwin.
May bank Hong Kong,
21/F, Man Yee Building,
68 Des Voeux Road Central,
Hong Kong.
Greetings,
I am Mr. Fong Edwin of Trade Finance Department, May bank Hong Kong. On July 6, 2004, our client Dr. Ravia Pumin, a businessman, made a numbered fixed deposit for 6 (six) calendar months, with a value of US$16.5m only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him and no response came from him. Another notification was sent early August 2005 and still no response came from him. The Bank officially sent two-man delegate to his residence in Malaysia were he reside only to find out that the Business mogul and his family perished in the Tsunami Disaster on 26th December 2004.
After further investigations, it was also discovered that Dr. Ravia Pumin 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 visited my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Sixteen million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to the laws in Hong Kong, at the expiration of two year (2 years) the funds will revert to the ownership of Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Dr. Ravia Pumin to enable you receive the funds. Lets put heads together to see how we can transfer these funds out of Hong Kong and use it judiciously.
I have contacted my Attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Dr.Ravia Pumin, all that is require from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your full names and Address including your direct phone and fax numbers for my Attorney to commence his job. It can be sent through my personal Fax Line +852 301 530 91 or email.
My Attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the funds to be move to an account that will be provided by you.
We are going to adopt a legalized method and the Attorney will prepare all the necessary documents and no risk involve.
Note that sharing percentage is negotiable by the two parties. Contact me via my personal fax line+852 301 530 91 or email address with your full names, address, fax and Telephone number if you are interested and more details will be provided to you about the Project.
