Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung Pui director of
operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Sai Wan Ho Branch.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 a business man made a
numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty Four
million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon
maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war two years ago
(2003)
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 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 to the laws of my country at the expiration four years six
months 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 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 NAMES AND ADDRESS a 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 favour 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 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 ADDRESSa
and I will prefer you to reach me on the email address
below(E-mail:cheung752002@yahoo.com.hk) or through my Fax Numebr
Tel/Fax:+85230152154 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
