I am Mr. Eiji Cheng Liu, Bank Manager DBS Bank Hong
Kong branch, I am contacting you for a highly confidential business
interest that is of mutual benefit to you and me.
Here it is:
An Arabian Oil Consultant and Contractor with the Chinese Solid
Minerals Corporation, Fawzy Sameh, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit of
US$11,500,000.00 (Eleven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) with my bank between 1998-1999. At maturity of this Investment, I
sent series of notification to his forwarding address but got no
response. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from
his contract employers, the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr.
Fawzy Sameh died in a plane crash in Egypt Air Flight 990, 1999 air
crash. Since we got this information about his death and on further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all
attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that FAWZY SAMEH did not declare any next of
kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank
Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This amount US$11,500,000.00 is still in my
Bank at this moment and the interest is being rolled over with the
principal sum at the end of each year. With my many years of banking
experience, I know that no one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Laws of Hong Kong, at the expiration of 7(seven) years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if
nobody applies to claim the fund. My proposal to you is that I will like
you as foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Fawzy Sameh, so that
the fruits of this man's labor will not get into the hands of some
corrupt government officials here in Hong Kong.
How it will work is this, I will like you to provide me immediately
your full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the
necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of
kin of Fawzy Sameh. We shall employ the services of an
Attorney here for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain
the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your
favor for the transfer. A bank account outside Hong Kong that you
Will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as
the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account
for us to share in the ratio of 85% for me and 15% for you. There is no
risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by
the attorney and my position as the bank Manager Guarantees 100%
successful execution of this transaction. Please if you are interested, I
want you to reply immediately via the private email address above. Upon
your response, I shall then provide you with more
Details that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me
your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
I want you to observe utmost confidentiality, please. Awaiting your
urgent reply via my confidential email Address:
eijichengliu005@yahoo.com.uk
Much Regards,
Mr. Eiji Cheng Liu
