MR. CHEUNG PUI

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 a obscured business
suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi
Bassem 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. 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 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 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 then negoiate the
sharing ratio. Should you be interested please send me
your private phone and fax numbers for easy
communication and I will provide you with more details
of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated.please contact me via this
