BUSINESS FOR US;
From: Mr. Cheng Pui
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
Sai Wan Ho Branch
171 Shaukiwan Road
Hong Kong.
Email:puicheng@rediffmail.com
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheng Pui credit officer
of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a business suggestion for the two us.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General. Ibrahim Moussa who was
with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of ($25.5 million USD)
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
General and his family had been killed during the war in bomb blast
that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Ibrahim
Moussa did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including
the paper work of his bankdeposit. And he also confided in me the last
time he was at my office that no one except me and his wife knew of his
deposit in my bank. So, the funds are still lying in my bank and no one
will ever come forward to claim it since the wife also died.
What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the
expiration of 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 Gen. Ibrahim Moussa so that you will be
able to receive this funds and assist me in investing it too..
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
Gen. Ibrahim Moussa, all that is required from you at this stage is for
you to provide me with your Full Names,age 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 you by either certified cheque/draft or online banking.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to adopt
a legalized method through the attorney.. Please endeavor to observe
utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue to avoid my bank
knowing
I am involved in the transfer o.k
Once the funds have been transferred to you either by cheque or online bank
account,
to avoid much taxes when the funds is withdrawn. we shall share in the ratio
of
70% for me, 30%
for you after the operation. Should you be interested please send me your full
names and
current residential address for us to proceed..
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated,and I will
prefers you to reach me on this email(puicheng@libero.it)first
for details of the transaction.If you are not interested still let me
know so that we look for another person.
Kind Regards
Mr. Cheng Pui.
