Mr.Cheung Pui
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
Sai Wan Ho Branch
Hong Kong.
puicheung58@yahoo.ie
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Cheung Pui director of perations
of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Sai Wan Ho Branch.I have a obscured
business suggestion for you.
A business man by name Abel Newman made a numbered fixed deposit for 18
calendar months, with a value of Eleven millions Five Hundred Thousand
United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity
several notice was sent to him,up till early last year, several
notifications was sent and still no response came from him. We later find
out that the Mr. Newman and his family had died in a terrible accident while
on vacation in the himalayas.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr. Abel Newman 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, Eleven 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 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 Mr. Abel Newman 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 Mr. Abel
Newman,
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 I will prefers you to reach me on the email address
below (puicheung58@yahoo.ie) and finally after that I shall
provide you with more details of this operation.
