Good day,
I am John Michael, staff of International Private Banking at HSBC Bank. I am
contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed
under our banks management three years ago. 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 mail.
I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of
this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I
believe would be of interest to you. In 2001, the subject matter came to our
bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He
informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Forty Eight Million Three
Hundred and Fifty Thousand Unite d States Dollars ($48,350,000.00 USD),
which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the
officer assigned to his case; I was made numerous suggestions in line with
my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the private banking
sector, 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
6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 manager
In mid 2002, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make
an urgent investment requiring cash payments in here in the United Kingdom.
He directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security firm
here in London. I informed him that HSBC would have to make special
arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process,
the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for
banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later
came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was
asking of us. Cash movement across boarders has become especially strict
since the incidents of 9/11. I conta cted my affiliate in here in London and
made the funds available to the security firm. I undertook all the processes
and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the
funds deposited at the London based security consultancy firm, Corporate
Securities Co. Corporate Securities Co is a specialist pr
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 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 our 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 an account with us
means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a
name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This
bank also gives the choice to depositors 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 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; the deceased died
without a testament .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. It is this investigation that resulted in my being furnished with
your details as a possible relative of the deceased. My official capacity
dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the
only party to receive the results of the investigation. What this means, you
being the last batch of names we have considered, is that our dear late
fellow died with no known or identifiable family member. This leaves me as
the only person with the full picture of what the pr
According to practice, Corporate Securities Co will by the end of this
financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to HSBC,
failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit
back to HSBC. This will result in the money entering the HSBC accounting
system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the private
banking division. This will not happen if I have my way. What I
wish to relate t o 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 private 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. I
alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one
unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this
deposit for as far as HSBC is concerned, the transaction with our late
customer concluded when I sent the funds to corporate securities, all
outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services
and due process. Corporate Securities Co has no single idea of what 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 spent great amounts of money trying to track this mans family;
they have investigated for months and have found no family. The
investigation has come to an end. My proposal; you share similar detai
You may not know this but people like myself 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, but the dynamics of my industry 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 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 them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project
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 my
bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has

Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a
family man, I have 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 learnt from my
private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one
accord, we should plan a meeting, soon.
I await your response.
