Dear Friend,
(chenqingxuan_1hk@yahoo.com.hk)
Let me start by introducing myself, I am chen qingxuan director of
operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Hong kong. 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 businessman
made a numbered,fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of
Twenty million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my
branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him,even during the
war early last year.Again after the waranother notification was sent
and still no response came from him.
We later find 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 workof 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 million
Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lyingin 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 4 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 have contacted a Lawyer 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 so that the attorney
can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the
attorney will also fill 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 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, Email:
(chenqingxuan_1hk@yahoo.com.hk)
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. Chen Qingxuan
