Subject: LET ME KNOW YOUR INTENTION !!!
MR CHEUNG PUI
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
Sai Wan Ho Branch
171 Shaukiwan Road
Hong Kong.
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung Pui director of
operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. 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 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 p! apers 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 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 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 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
negotiate our s! haring percentage and agreed on it.Should you be interested
please send me your full names and
current residential address and I will prefers you to reach me on the
email address below(cheungpul0444@yahoo.com.hk ) 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
