From: Vincent Hoi C. Cheng <vchenghcv@yahoo.com.hk> Subject: Chuen Cheng, To: Date: Sunday, March 22, 2009, 10:21 PM
Good Day,
I am Mr. Vincent Cheng Hoi Chuen, GBS, JP Chairman of the
Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited.
Our client BRIGADIER AMER ALI NAYEF, a businessman and also
who was with the Iraqi forces, made a fixed deposit, of Twenty
Two million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in
my branch, a number of notices was sent to him, before the war
which began in 2003 and also after the war but, no response
came from him. We later found out that Brigadier Amer Ali Nayef
was shot dead along with his son, Khalid Amer also in the force
as they left the family home for work in the south of the city.
After more inquiry it was also discovered that the late Brigadier,
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including
the paper work of his bank deposit. What bothers me most is
according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 6 years
the funds will be reverted to the ownership of the Hong Kong
Government if nobody comes for the funds, Against this scenery,
I have all the information needed to claim these funds and I want
you to act as the beneficiary of the deposit, there is no risk
involved in this matter, as we are going to adopt a legitimate
method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.
All I require is your honest co-operation and I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect
you from any breach of the law. Please accept my apologies, keep
my confidence and disregard this email if you do not appreciate
this proposition I have offered you.
All confirmable documents to back up the claims will be made available
to you prior to your acceptance and as soon as I receive your return
mail Via my email address: vchengcv9@yahoo.com.hk and I will let you
know what is required of you.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Mr. Vincent Cheng
