URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED
FROM: CHEUNG PUI
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
SAI WAN HO BRANCH,
83, DES VOEUX ROAD,
HONG KONG,
cheung_p07@yahoo.com.hk)
Dear Sir,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am
Mr. Cheung Pui director of operations of
the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.
I have an obscured business suggestion for you.Before the U.S and Iraqi war
our client Major Fadi Bassem who was with the
Iraqi force and also businessman 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 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 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 3 years and 6 months, 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
Bassem 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
Bassem , 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 .This ratio is subjected
to negotiations in the course of this venture. Should you be interested
please send me your full names and current residential address and I will
prefers you to reach me on the email address below
(cheung_p07@yahoo.com.hk)and finally after that i shall provide you with
more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Regards
Mr. Cheung Pui
