Subject: Contact Me.
Good day,
I am a, staff of Private Banking Services at the Bank of China (BOC) UnitedKingdom. I am contacting you concerning our customer and, an investment placedunder our banks management 4 years ago.
I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mailconfidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as aresult of this mail. I contacted you independently of our investigation and noone is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you withcertain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
In 2003, the subject matter; ref: bb/boc/bank/0012 came to our bank to engagein business discussions with our Private Banking Services Department. Heinformed us that he had a financial portfolio of 8.35 million United StatesDollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf.
I was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in linewith my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the Private BankingServices Department, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternativeinvestments. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accruedprofit and interest stood at this point at over 10 million United StatesDollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired lowrisk guaranteed returns on investments. In mid 2005, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cashpayments in Europe. He directed that I liquidate the funds and had it deposited with a firm. I informed him that the bank would have to make specialarrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, thebank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for bankingand statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came aroundwhen I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cashmovement across borders has become especially strict since the incidents of9/11. I contacted my affiliate in and had the funds available. I undertook allthe processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letterand had the funds deposited in a security consultancy firm, the firm is aspecialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individualsand blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertaketransactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly privateorganization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connectedorganizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited . He told mehe wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 9thOctober, 2005.
In January this year, we got a call from the security firm informing us thatthe inactivity of that particular portfolio. This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed the private bankingsector I was the only one who knew about the deposit , and I could notunderstand why he had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futileefforts to locate him I immediately passed the task of locating him to theinternal investigations department of the bank of china. Four days later,information started to trickle in, apparently he was dead. A person who suitedhis description was declared dead of a heart attack in Canne, South of France.We were soon enough able to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed.
The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next ofkin 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 ourservices usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment fromconventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In thefield of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know ofits existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbersand codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice todepositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself,ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do theynominate 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; he diedintestate.
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. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. The investigation did not ever yield any result My official capacity dictates that I am the onlyparty to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the resultsof the investigation. This leaves me as the only person with the full pictureof what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the latebeneficiary of the deposit. According to practice, the firm will by the end ofthis financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to BOC, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit back toBOC. This will result in the money entering the BOC accounting system and theportfolio will be out of my hands and out of the Private Banking ServicesDepartment. This will not happen if I have my way.
What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you tounderstand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of privatebanking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certainoffices and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to puttogether the general direction of what I propose. There is 8.370 million United States Dollars deposited , I alone have the deposit details and they willrelease the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know ofthe existence of this deposit for as far as BOC is concerned, the transactionwith our deceased customer concluded when I sent the funds to the firm, alloutstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services anddue process. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit toany party that comes forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent greatamounts of money trying to track this man's family; they have investigated formonths and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end.
My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to give instruction forthe release of the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Uponreceipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release thedeposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.
I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would havedrawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. Iassure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. Iwill simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to thecustomer I will then officially communicate with firm and instruct them torelease the deposit to you. With these two things: all is done. The alternativewould be for us to have firm direct the funds to another bank with you asaccount holder. This way there will be no need for you to think of receivingthe money from the firm. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions.
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find nointerest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you donot be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, deletethis message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career becauseyou do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole privatebanking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against goodconscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of myindustry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones' way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny. These chances won't pass me by. I ask that youdo not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let memove on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is anopportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for thisproject and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting mybank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessedyou with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life.Let's share the blessing.
If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same emailaccount. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towardsa conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via officialchannels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do notwant you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want youcontacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through thisemail address. I do not want any direct link between you and me. My officiallines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess ourlevel of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man; Ihave a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold.This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do notbetray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, send me your response toenable us commence this line of discussion.
