Dear Friend,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung Pui
director of operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Hong kong. 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 last 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 disc! ! overed that Major Fadi Basem
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers
including the paper workof 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
lyingin my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim
it. What bothers me most is that according to the lawsof 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
anattorney that will prepare the nece! ! ssary 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 thenecessary 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;
Email:(pcheungp_hk2000@yahoo.com.hk)
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
