FROM MR. CHEUNG PUI
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG ,
HONG KONG .

Dear Friend,

Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr Cheung Pui director of
operations Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an obscured business suggestion
for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi Bassem
who was with the Iraqi forces and also 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 in my branch.
Upon maturity several notices 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 a bomb blast that hit their
home.

After further investigations 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.

As you can see, twenty four million five hundred thousand United
States 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
by-laws of my country at the expiration of 6 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 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
will 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 name 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 documentation for the movement 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 endeavour to observe utmost discretion in
all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been
transferred, 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 end me your private phone and fax
numbers for easy communication, finally after that I shall provide
you with more details of this operation.

I also know that you will be surprise about how i got your contact; I
got your contact from an old friend who once works with the EUROPEAN UNION
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY (EUCCI) and now a diplomat.

Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Mr. Cheung Pui.
