Chen Qingxuan
Hang Seng Bank
83 Des Voeux Road
Central Hong-kong
Hong-Kong.
I am Mr. Chen Qingxuan, credit officer of Hang Seng Bank China I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. I honestly apologize and hope I do not cause you much embarrassment by contacting you through this means for a transaction of this magnitude, but this is due to confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium, Furthermore due to this issue on my hands now, it became necessary for me to seek your assistance, and it is imperative for me to know your opinion. On April 21 2002, a then Iraqi Oil consultant/contractor and ( Retired major of the iraqi speacial elite force ) with the Iraqi Solid Minerals Corporation Mr Fadi Bassem who made a (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$ 9,000,000.00 (NINE MILLION DOLLARS) in my branch
Being that we operate a standard banking procedures Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Hong Kong Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. Fadi Bassem died from an ambush on his way to the office directly in front of a very popular mosque just at the start of the historic election which was suppose to take six weeks, on further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Fadi Bassem died did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$9,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. I would love us to retrieve these funds before the corrupt governments get both here in Hong Kong and over there in Baghdad. He was killed along with his family and until his death he had 4kids whom were also killed along with his body-guard .
No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Hong Kong, at the expiration of 4(Four) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Fadi Bassem died so that the fruits of this dedicated husband who served the state of Iraqi with all his dedication and honesty will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and authorization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 75% for me and 20% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the transaction.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and with my position as the credit officer guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately. You may reply to my email box,
