MR. CHEUNG PUI
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
Sai Wan Ho Branch
171 Shaukiwan Road
Hong Kong.
cheungpui_17@mail2world.com
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 a 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 business man
made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with
a value of Twenty Four millions 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 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 Bassem 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 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 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 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
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 then negoiate the sharing
ratio. Should you be interested please send me your private
phone and fax numbers for easy communication and I
will provide you with more details of this
operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated..please contact me via this

Kind Regards
Mr. Cheung Pui
