Subject: PROPOSAL,
From The Desk of:
Mrs Ducle Eminela. Branch Operations Manager Custody / Clearing
Lacaixa Bank
Madrid Spain
Dear Prospective Partner,
How are you today and business in your country? I am Mrs. Ducle Eminela,
Of the above bank. I would respectfully request that you keep the
contents
of
this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you
come
by
as a result of this email. I would like to intimate you with certain
facts
that I
believe would be of interest to you. I know you would be wondering why I
am
writing you with such a request. I will only urge you to read on for
clear
understanding.
In June 1998, a German Oil consultant/contractor with the British Solid
Minerals
Corporation, Mr. CELIA JESSE-JAMES made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit
for
twelve calendar months (AMOUNT WITHELD FOR SECURITY REASONS) with my
bank
where I
am Branch Operations Manager. Upon maturity of his deposit, lacaixa bank
Investments and loans department sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address in
America and Germany but got no reply. After a month, we also sent a
reminder
and finally
discovered from his contract employers, the British Solid Minerals
Corporation that Mr.CELIA
JESSE-JAMES died alongside his wife, from the plane crash in Nova Scotia
This led to my bank's immediate launch of an investigation into
reaching a possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation
and
also
to come forward to claim his estate.If you are familiar with private
banking
affairs, those who patronize lacaixa Bank private services usually prefer
anonymity, but also
some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data
form,
he
listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking, opening a
private
account with
us means no one will know of its existence since such accounts are
rarely
held under a
particular name because some depositors use numbers and codes to make
the
accounts
anonymous. I must let you know that Rabo bank also gives the choice to
depositors of
having messages sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that
there
are no traces of
the account and as such rarely do they nominate next of kin.
Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also
usually
in most cases leave wills in our
care, in
this case; MR.CELIA JESSE-JAMES died interstate.
In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed
away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine
who should have right to claim the estate.This investigation has for the
past
months been unfruitful because no one has been contacted as far as this
management is concerned. We have scanned every continent and used our
private
investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem.
This very large sum has since been sitting in my Bank and the interest
is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.No
one
will
ever come forward to claim it, and according to the New Laws of The
Spainish, at the
expiration of 7(seven) years, the money will revert to the ownership of
the
Spainish Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.What I wish
to
relate to
you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand
something,it is
only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of
the
banking world aberrational. The world of banking especially is fraught
with
huge
rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain
portfolios.You
should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I
propose.
There is a large amount of money deposited in my bank,I as the Branch
Operations
Manager alone have the deposit details and I will release the due funds
to
no one
unless evidence of relationship with the deceased. Since I alone have
the
power to
attest to the claim and know of the existence of this deposit. As far as
lacaixa
Bank is concerned, the bank's management has no single idea of what's
the
history or nature of the deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions
to
release the deposit to any party that comes forward. This is the
situation.
This bank has tried a lot to track this man's
family; they have investigated for months and have found no family. This
investigation has come to an end. Consequently, my proposal is that I
will
like
you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin.
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find
no
interest in this project that you
please let
me know.I plead that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my
offer
or
percentage share is of no appeal to you,please let me know because of
the
time
frame available of the said funds being confiscated, but please do not
destroy my
career because you do not approve of my proposal to you. You may not
know
this
but people like me who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations
run
the
whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do
not
find
against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand now, but
the
dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move and fast, because
such
opportunities only come ones' way and probably once in a lifetime. I
cannot
let
this chance pass me by, for once I find
myself in total control of my destiny. I ask that you do not destroy my
chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on
with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an
opportunity to provide my family with new opportunities. There is no
risk
whatsoever as all the paperwork,my position as a Branch Operations
Manager
with
lacaixa bank guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. If you
are
interested in this lucrative role, I urge you to indicate to that
effect.
Upon your response, if favorable, I shall then provide you with more
details and relevant information that will help you get full
understanding
of the
transaction.
Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Ducle Emilena
Branch Operations Manager
