Dear friend,
Let me start by introducing myself, my name is Mr.Vincent Cheung. I am
writing you to make a proposition to you that will be favourable to you
and I. I know that
this is an unusual manner of communicating such a proposition, but it
is pertinent I make a move at this point, if I am to succeed in this
venture.I work in the operations department of a bank in Hong Kong
{name withheld for security reasons at this point}.I am responsible for
arranging high volume deposits in my bank and tracing next of kin/beneficiaries of
investors/investments at my bank at maturity of such investments.Over
the years I have processed such deposits/investments. There have of
course been cases of unclaimed deposits and no known next of
kin/beneficiary,due to the fact that by
the law here, monies such as this if unclaimed and if no next of kin is
found after three years reverts automatically to the state, my
superiors found a way around this by presenting phoney next of kin/beneficiary
for this monies and instructed me in such cases to process applications for
claims on behalf of those phoney people as next of kin/beneficiary for this
monies and shared it among themselves.I have been the officer in charge
of all such transactions over the last five years.
However at this present time there is a deposit made by one Major Fadi
Basem who was with the Iraqi forces and also a business man who made a
numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months running into millions
of(US)dollars.Upon maturity,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month,I sent a reminder and finally discovered
that the Majorand his family had been killed during the war in a bomb
blast that hit theirhome. On further investigation,I found out that he
died without making aWILL,and all attempts to trace his next of kin
was fruitless.I therefore made further investigation and discovered
that Major Fadi did not declare any next
of kin or relations in all his official documents,including his Bank
Deposit paperwork in our Bank.I am the only one in full knowledge of
the fact that there is no next of kin/beneficiary.This time around,I intend
processing this claim application myself with the assistance and
agreement of a trustworthy partner to conclude it,knowing fully well that if I
disclose this to my superiors they will once again use me to divert the monies for
themselves and give me peanuts for my efforts. I have perfected all the
legal modalities,withthe help of a trusted friend,confidant who is
also an attorney all necessary documentation for the successful
transfer of the monies to a supposed next of
kin/beneficiary of my choosing.This we can successfully achieve if you
are willing to be a partner with me in this deal,it is straight forward
and very risk-free as all processes will be done within the dictates of the
law.If you are interested in being a partner with me in this, please send
me an e-mail with your full names and address.Once I receive this, the
attorney will immediately commence filing the necessary application for
the final release and transfer of the funds to an account nominated by
you. However, if you feel this is above your head,kindly destroy this
letter and forget about it. Due to the nature and amount of money
involved in this and the fact that I am still
employed by the bank, you must keep this totally confidential.Once I
receive this information, I will then send you a more detailed
explanation of the scope and procedure we will take to effectively secure this fund
for the benefit of us all. Once again I want you to know that there is totally
no risk involved as everything will be processed legally.
I WILL BE EXPECTING YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE VIA EMAIL.
Thank you for your time and I urgently and anxiously await a positive
reply.
Best
regards,
Mr.Vincent
