I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed under our banks management three years ago. I am contacting you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you withcertainfacts that I believe would be of interest to you. In the year 2004,thesubject matter; came to our bank to engage in business discussionswithour private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Six Million United States Dollars, which he wished tohave usturn over (invest) on his behalf. In mid 2005, he asked that the money be liquidated because he neededtomake an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Helsinki-Finland. Hedirected that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a securityfirm. Iinformed him that my Bank would have to make special arrangements tohavethis done and in order not to circumvent due process. Cash movement across boarders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate and made the fundsavailableto the security firm. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited with the security firm. The Security Firm is a specialist private firm that accepts depositsfromhigh net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handlevaluableproducts or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly private organization is familiar especially tothehighly placed and well-connected organizations. In line withinstructions,the money was deposited with the security firm. The deceased told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communicationwehad, this transpired around 25th of November 2005. In June last year,andwe got a call from the security firm informing us about the inactivityofthat particular portfolio. I made futile efforts to locate thedeceased.I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of SG International Private Bank. Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently our client wasdead.A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heartattack inCanne, in Southern part of France. We were soon enough to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed. In his bio-data form, helisted nonext of kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account withusmeans no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely heldunder aname; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful; we've usedourprivate investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. It is this investigation that resulted in my being furnishedwithyour details as a possible relative of the deceased. What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but Iwantyou to understand something. It is only an outsider to the bankingworldwho finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards forthosethat occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what Ipropose.There is Six Million United States dollars deposited in a securityfirm, Ialone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to nooneunless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as my Bank is concerned. My proposal: I now seek your permission to present you as a next ofkin tothe deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked to makeyouthe beneficiary to the funds $6,00 000 00 (Six Million United states Dollar); I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct ThesecurityFirm to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the proceeds60/40.Iwould have gone ahead to ask that the funds be released to me, butthatwould have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claimingthedeposit. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions am aware oftheconsequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest inthisproject that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels;Iwill deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not wantyoucontacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want youcontactingme through my official email account. Contact me only through thenumbersI will provide for you and also through this email address. I do notwantany direct link between you and myself. My official lines are notsecuredlines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level ofcustomercare in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please observe this instruction religiously. Do not betray myconfidence.Kindly send your response to my private email: tmwalford () sify com I await your response.
