Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung Pui credit officer
of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a concealed business suggestion for
you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General. Fadi Bassem who was a
business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with
a value of Twenty four millions Five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars($24.5 million USD) 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 General and his family had been killed during
the war in bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that General. 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 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 General. 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 Gen.
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 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, 25% for you and 5% for any
expenses incurred during the course of this operation. Should you be
interested please send me your full names and current residential address.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.And i will
appreciate you to reach me through this secure email below,

Kind Regards
Mr. Cheung Pui.
