Good day,
I am Andrew Bailey of International Private Banking at BANK OF
ENGLAND(www.bankofengland.co.uk.) 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 2000, 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 eight
million three hundred and fifty thousand united states dollars, 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 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
managers of alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun the
money
around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our
first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at
this point at over ten million United States Dollars, this margin was
not
the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk rantied returns
on investments. In mid 2001, 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 in here 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 contacted 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, Mayfair Securities Co. Mayfair Securities
Co
is a specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net
worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle
valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access
to cash. This small and highly private organization is familiar
especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations.
In line with instructions, the money was deposited with Mayfair
Securities Co. The deceased told me he wanted the money there in
anticipation
of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last
communication we had, this transpired around 25th February 2003.
In June last year, we got a call from Mayfair Securities Co informing
us that the activity of that particular portfolio. This was an
astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I
managed the
private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the deposit
at
Mayfair Securities Co, and I could not understand why the deceased had
not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate
the deceased. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the
internal investigations department of Bristol & West. Four days later,
information started to trickle in, apparently our client was dead. A
person
who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in
Cannes, 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 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 testate. 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 prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late
beneficiary of the deposit. According to practice, Mayfair Securities
Co will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for
statements of claim to Bristol & West, failing to receive viable
claims they
will most probably revert the deposit back to Bristol & West. This
will
result in the money entering the Bristol & West 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
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 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 Bristol & West is concerned, the transaction
with
our late customer concluded when I sent the funds to Mayfair
securities, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are
just customer services and due process. Mayfair 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 man family; they have investigated for
months
and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end.
My proposal; you share similar details to the late fellow; I am
prepared to place you in a position to instruct Mayfair Securities
Company to
release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon
receipt 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 the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.I would
have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would
have
drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the
deposit.
I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a
few
days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file
relating to the deceased I will then officially communicate with
Mayfair
Securities Co and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With
these two things: all is done. The alternative would be for us
to have Mayfair Securities Co direct the funds to another bank with
you
as account holder. This way there will be no need for you to think of
receiving the money from Mayfair Securities Co. We can fine-tune this
based on our interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this
proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project 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.
Do not destroy my career because you 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 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 pass me by. I ask that you do
not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know andlet
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 blessed you with a name
that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Let
share
the blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me
through this same email account. If you give me positive signals, I
will
initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that
should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you
and
about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through
my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my
official email account.
Contact me only through the numbers I will provide for you and also
through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you
and
me. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically
monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total
Quality Management Policy. 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.
