FROM:MR. CHEUNG PUI
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
Sai Wan Ho Branch 171 Shaukiwan Road
Hong Kong.
Reply to:cheung_seu@yahoo.com
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung Pui director of
operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Sai Wan Ho Branch.I have a
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 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
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
thefunds 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 esidential
address and I wi! ll prefers you to reach me on the email address
below: (cheung_seu@yahoo.com).
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
