FROM: MR CHEUNG PUI
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
Sai Wan Ho Branch
83, Des Voeux Road.,
Central HK,
Hong Kong.
(cheung_pui250@yahoo.com.hk)
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 Basem who was
with the Iraqi forces and also a business man made a numbered fixed deposit
for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty Four million 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 found 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 Basem 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 million 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 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 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 my attorney to 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 file in for
claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate in your favor for the movement 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 to 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
prefer you to reach me on the email address below:
(cheung_pui250@yahoo.com.hk) and finally after that i shall provide you with
more details of this operation.
Your earliest response
Cheung Pui
