Subject: REVIEW FADI BASEM'S ESTATE
FROM:MR.CHEUNG PUI
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
Sai Wan Ho Branch
171 Shaukiwan Road
Hong Kong.
e-mail address:dr_cheungpui2004@yahoo.com.hk.
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Dr.Cheung Pui,director of
operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Sai Wan Ho Branch.I have a business
proposal for
you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war,our client Major Fadi Basem who was with the
Iraqi forces and also businessman 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
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 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 3 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
documents 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 transfer 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,25%for you,and 5% for any expenses incurred
during the course of the operation. 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:dr_cheungpui2004@yahoo.com.hk.
Once i get your response to co-operate,i shall provide you with more details
of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Dr.Cheung pui.
