VERY URGENT

MR. CHEUNG WONG
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONG KONG.

Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr Cheung Wong director of
operations Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an obscured business suggestion for
you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi Bassem who was
with the Iraqi forces and also a business man made a numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of twenty four millions five
hundred thousand United State Dollars in my branch. Upon maturity several
notices 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 found
out that the Major and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb
blast that hit their home.
After further investigations 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.
As you can see, 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 by-laws of my
country at the expiration of 5 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 Bassem 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 will
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 name and address so that the attorney can commence his
job, after you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file
in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary documentation 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 to 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, we shall
share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you and 5% for any expenses
incurred during the course of this operation.
If you be interested please send me your private phone and fax numbers
for easy communication and finally after that I shall provide you with
more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Mr. Cheung Wong.
