Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2005 17:59:35 -0800
Subject: HI...
FROM:PUI CHEUNG,
(mr cheungpui4@yahoo.com.hk).
Let me start by introducing myself ,I am Mr PUI
CHEUNG, Director of Operations of Hang Seng Bank Ltd.
I have an urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you.I honestly apologize and hope I
do not cause you much embarrassment by contacting
you through this means for a transaction of this
magnitude,but this is due to confidentiality and
prompt access reposed on this medium,sorry my
English is not very good.
Furthermore,due to this issue on my hands now,it
became necesary for me to seek your assistance, and
it is imperative for me to know your opinion.On June
6,1999, an American Oil consultant/contractor with
the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr. Richard
Nault made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for
twelve calendar months,valued at US$30,000,000.00
(Thirty Million Dollars only) in my branch.
Upon maturity,I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,
we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from
his contract employers, the Hong Kong Solid Minerals
Corporation that Mr. Richard Nault died from an
automobile accident.
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 Mr.Richard Nault
did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official documents,including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$30,000,000.00
is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is
being rolled over with the principal sum at the end
of each year.
No one will ever come forward to claim it. According
to Laws of Hong Kong, at the expiration of 5(five)
years,the money will revert to the ownership of the
Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the
fund.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like
you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to
Mr. Richard Nault so that the fruits of this old
man's labor will not get into the hands of some
corrupt government officials.This is simple, I will
like you to provide 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.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for
drafting and authorization of the WILL and to obtain the
necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favour for the
transfer.The money will be paid into your account
for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 25%
for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course
of the transaction.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for
this transaction will be done by the attorney and
with my position as the director of operatons guarantees
the successful execution of this transaction.If you
are interested,please reply immediately.You may
reply to my email box, mr cheungpui4@yahoo.com.hk
Upon your response. I shall then provide you with
more details and relevant documents that will help
you understand the transaction.Please send me your
confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
communication. You should observe utmost
confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us
because I shall require your assistance to invest my
share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply, when you are interested.
Thanks and regards.
Mr.Pui Cheung.
