Good Day,
Before I start, I must first Apologies for this unsolicited mail to you.I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional
approach to starting a relationship but as time goes on you will realize the need for my action.
My name is BARRISTER MISHAK WYLIE ADAMS a british citizen base in Nigeria, also a Solicitor and the personal
Attorney to Major. Fadi Basem, I have a concealed business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war my 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 British
Pounds Sterling only in Hang Seng Bank Ltd branch (HSB) in London, United kingdom. Upon maturity several notice
sent to him,even during the war.
Again after the war another notification was sent to him and still no response came from him. Later, the bank find out
that the Major and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating my clients relatives, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
of my client, the said fund as stated above i.e the sum of Twenty four millions, Five Hundred Thousand British Pounds
Sterling can be paid to you instead of leaving it for Hang Seng Bank (HSB) London so, we can take part of it and leave
the rest for Charity. I have some necessary legal documents that can be used to back you up as next of kin to my late
client for this claim.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. 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 in
Nigeria, that no one except me knew of his deposit at Hang Seng Bank Ltd in London. So, Twenty four millions, Five
Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling is still lying in that bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.
My main reason for contacting you is to assist me in repatriating the money and properties left behind by my Client
before they are confiscated or declared unservicable by the bank where they are deposited and lodged Particularly
the Hang Seng Bank ( HSB) in London here where the deceased has a fixed sum of Twenty four millions, Five Hundred
Thousand British Pounds Sterling. The said bank has issued me a final notice to provide the next of kin of my Client or
they will be left with no other choice than to confiscate his funds.
What bothers me most is that according to the British Law, at the expiration 7 years the funds will revert to the ownership
of the British 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 will
prepare and provide the necessary documents 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 i can
commence on this job.
After you have been made the next of kin, I 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 I will prepare all the
necessary documents as I said. 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 65% for me,
30% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the course of this operation.
Finally, Should you be interested please send me your Full names and address including your telephone number
and fax number, and I will provide you with more details of this operation. l will prefers you to reach me via this
