Beware of internet scam letters. A few days ago I received this letter via
the email from someone who I don’t know. Already in the Caribbean there have
been reports that the receipts of similar scam letters have milked
unsuspecting citizens of hard earned cash. Should you receive such email,
our advice is simple,
DO NOT
RESPOND!
Below are
copies of the scam letters:
FROM:
MR CHEUNG PARK
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
Sai Wan Ho Branch
83, Des Voeux Road., Central HK,
Hong Kong.
E-mail:cheungpark21@yahoo.com.hk
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung PARK Director of
Operations with the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a concealed 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 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 a bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Major Fadi Bassem
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 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 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 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
Bassem, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me
with your Full Names and Address and your telephone numbers 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 share in the ratio of 60% for me, 40% for you. Should
you be interested please send me your Full names and address, your telephone
and fax numbers and I will provide you with more details of this operation.
l
will prefers you to reach me via this email:
cheungpark21@yahoo.com.hk as it is more convenient for me. Your
earliest
response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
MR Cheung Park

I am Mr. Lee Raymond Wing Hung, Chief Financial Officer, Bank of China,
Tower Branch, 1 Garden Road Hong Kong. I have an obscured business proposal
for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our client Aajel Jaber Hassef a
Merchant made a numbered fixed deposit valued at Twenty Four million Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars, for 18 calendar months, in my branch.
Upon maturity several notices were sent to him, even during the war which
began in 2003. Again, after the war another notification was sent, but still
no response came from him. We later found out that my client, his wife and
two sons had been killed during the war.

After further investigation, it was also discovered that Aajel Jaber Hassef
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers, including the
paperwork of his bank deposit. 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
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 laws of my country, at the expiration of 3 years and 6
months the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government,
if nobody applies to claim it. Against this backdrop, I will like you, as a
foreigner, to stand as next of kin to Aajel Jaber Hassef, so that we can
receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE

the next of kin to Aajel Jaber Hassef. All that is required from you, at
this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names, private phone/fax
and current residential address, so that the attorney can commence his job.
After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file for
claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate in your favour for the move of the funds to an account that will be
provided by you. Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all
