Dear Friend,
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 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 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
Basem did not declare any next of kin in his official papers
including
the paper work of his bankdeposit. 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 willever 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 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;
(cheungpui_hk009@yahoo.com.hk)
and finally after that i shall provide you with more details
of this
operation.
Your earliest response to this mail will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Cheung Pui.
