Subject: Hello
FROM:MR. WANG QIN CHEUNG PUI
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
Sai Wan Ho Branch
171 Shaukiwan Road
Hong Kong.
e-mail address : wang.qincheung@laposte.net
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Wang Qin Cheung Pui,director
of operations of the Hang Seng
Bank Ltd,Sai Wan Ho Branch.I have a business proposal for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war,our client Major Fadi Basem who was with the
Iraqi forces and also 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
early this year. Again after the war another 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
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 million 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 3 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 an attorney that will prepare the
necessary documents 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 transfer 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,25%for you,and 5% for any expenses incurred
during the course of the operation. 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:
wang.qincheung@laposte.net Once i get your response to co-operate,i shall
provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Wang Qin Cheung Pui
FROM:WANG QIN CHEUNG PUI.
