Subject: CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY!!!
FROM: Cheung Pui.
Hang Seng Bank Ltd.
Sai Wan Ho Branch,
83, Des Voeux Road,
Hong Kong.
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.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 passed away 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 came
to my office that no one except me knew of hisdeposit in my bank.Till this
moment,his Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars
is still lying in my bank and no one has ever come forward as the next of
kin to claim it.
What bothers me most is that according to the to the laws of my country,
at the expiration of 6 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the
Hong Kong Government if nobody comes out as the next of kin to claim
the funds.Since then I have made several enquiries to the embassy to
locate any of his extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
With several unsuccessful attempts in locating the next of kin against
this backdrop,my suggestion now,is to make a business with somebody
from the other side of the track to stand as the next of kin to Major Fadi
Basem
to assist me withdraw the funds before the funds revert to the the ownership
of
Hong Kong Government.It is upon this facts that I decided to contact you so
that we can transact this business confidentially with a sharing ratio of
70%
for me,30% for you.
I could have done this deal alone but It is only a foreigner that can stand
as the next of kin since he was a foriegner.Also because of my position in
this country as a civil servants,i'm not allowed to operate a foreign
account
and moreover i'm still the director of operations in the Hang Seng Bank,
that would eventually raise an eye brow on me during the transfer,this is
the actual reason why I want you to assist me forward claims as the next of
kin.
Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account that
will be
provided by you,we shall disburse it in the ratio of 70% for me,30% for you.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we
can come out successful.I have contacted an attorney that will prepare
all the necessary documents that will back you up as the next of kin to
Major Fadi.I guarantee that this transaction is 100% risk free.As we are
going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the
necessary documents that will protect you from any breach of the law.
What is expected from you now is to provide me with your full names and
current residential address so that the attorney can commence his job.
After you have been made the next of kin,he will also fill in for your
claims and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your
favor for on your behalf for the transfer of the funds into a norminated
bank account that will be provided by you.If this is OK by you,and you do
not wish to take undue advantage of my trust after transfer,then I hope to
bestow on you.All that is required from you at this stage is your
trustworthy
and total honest commitment.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this
issue.Kindly get back to me immediately to enable me enlighten you on how to
see this transaction successful.I will not contact someone else until I hear
from you,so as to enable me decide on what to do next.And I will prefer you
to reach me confidentially with the email address below;
(cpuihk_852@yahoo.com.hk).
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
