Dear Sir/Madam,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung Pui director of
operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a obscured business suggestion
for you.
I honestly apologize and hope I do not cause you much embarrassment by
contacting you through this means for a transaction of this magnitude,but
this is due to confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this
medium,sorry my English is not very good.
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 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 Heeter
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 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 allmatters
concerning this issue.Once the funds have beentransferred 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 prefer you to reach me on the email address below
(pcheungpui_hk003@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.
Kind Regards
Mr. Cheung Pui
