From: "Cheung Pui" <puicheung111@hotmail.com>

Subject: WRITE ME
MR CHEUNG PUI
(cheunggpui20002002@yahoo.com.hk)
Dear friend,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Cheung Pui,director of
operations
of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Des Voeux RD Branch.I have a obscured business
suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major FadiBasem 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 and 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 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
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 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 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
prefers you to reach me on the email address
:(cheunggpui20002002@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,
Cheung Pui.
