Prophecies, mystical numbers and holy voices have left jailed feng shui conman Peter Chan Chun-chuen "joyful" after his first two weeks behind bars - and he has already started writing a book, according to one of his visitors.

Jailed former fung shui master Peter Chan Chun-chuen filed an appeal yesterday against his conviction and 12-year jail term for forging and using a fake will said to belong to late tycoon Nina Wang Kung Yu-sum, a source familiar with the situation said.

After Teddy Wang Teh-huei disappeared, his widow, Nina Wang Kung Yu-sum, fought through Hong Kong's courts for eight years to establish the validity of a will that entitled her to inherit the Chinachem Group, as opposed to an earlier will in favour of her father-in-law. Despite this ordeal, she did nothing to prevent a similar situation - the emergence of two wills - arising after her own death.

Looking scared and red-faced, Peter Chan Chun-chuen was locked up on Thursday after he was found guilty of forging a will purportedly left by late billionaire Nina Wang Kung Yu-sum. After almost 20 hours of deliberation, a Court of First Instance jury of five men and three women found the 53-year-old businessman, previously known as Tony Chan, guilty of forgery and using a false instrument. He will be sentenced today.

Alleged will forger Peter Chan Chun-chuen was accused by the prosecution in High Court on Wednesday of playing on the superstition and loneliness of Nina Wang and treating her as a means to become rich.
