Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?CONFIDENTIAL=20MUTUAL=20BUSINESS=20PROPOSAL=2E?=
FROM: MR. CHEUNG PUI
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
Sai Wan Ho Branch
171 Shaukiwan Road
Hong Kong.
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 an obscured business
suggestion 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 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 a 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 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 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 and 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
share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you. Should you be interested
please send me your full names and current residential address and finally
after that i shall provide you with more details of this operation. I will
prefer that you reach me via this email (cheung_p100@yahoo.com.hk) or by
Tel/Fax Number: +852 301 57987 for now, before I can provide a confidential
telephone number for security purpose.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Cheung pui.
