Dear
Friend,
I am Mr.
Chen Guangyuan of Investment Banking, Union Bank Of China ( Hong Kong ). On
July 6, 2004 , our client Mr. Irvin Poot, a businessman, made a numbered fixed
deposit for 6 (six) calendar months, with a value of US$20.5m only in my
branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him and no response came from
him. Another notification was sent early February 2006 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.
After
further investigations, it was also discovered that Mr. Irvin Poot 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, Twenty 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 of my country, at the expiration of one year (1 year) 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 Mr.
Irvin Poot to enable you receive the funds. Let us put heads together to see
how we can transfer these funds out of Hong Kong and use it judiciously.
I have
contacted an Attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back
you up as the next of kin to Mr. Irvin Poot, 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.
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 on this email
address with your full names, address, fax and telephone number to chen_guang04@yahoo.com.hk
if you are interested and more details will be provided to you about the Project.
Sincerely,
Mr. Chen Guangyuan.
