Good day,
I am Mr. Alastair Wilson, staff of ADAM & COMPANY . 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 am contacting 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 the year 2002, 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 Six Million 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
Investment
Management Officer of the private banking sector then, 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 Two million United States Dollars, this margin was not the full
potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on
investments.
In mid 2003, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to
make
an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Helsinki- Finland. He
directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security
firm. I
informed him that ADAM & COMPANY 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 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 with
the
security firm. The Security Firm 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 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 communication we had,
this
transpired around 25th of November 2003.In June last year, we got a
call
from the security firm informing us about the inactivity 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 the security firm, 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 ADAM & COMPANY. 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
canne, in
Southern part of France.We were soon enough 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 fate
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 present official capacity as the Head of Investment Management
Service
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, The Security Firm will by the end of this financial year
broadcast a request for statements of claim to ADAM & COMPANY, failing
to
receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit back
to
ADAM & COMPANY.This will result in the money entering the ADAM &
COMPANY
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 that 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 Six Million dollars deposited in
a
security firm, 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 ADAM & COMPANY is concerned.
The
transaction with our late customer concluded when I sent the funds to
the
security firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are
just
customer services and due process. The security Firm has no single idea
of
the history or nature of the deposit. They are simply awaiting
instructions
to release the deposit to any party that come forward. This is the
situation. This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track
any
member of his family; they have investigated for months and have found
no
family. The investigation has come to an end.
My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct The
security Firm 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. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have
them
release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 60/40.I would have
gone
ahead to ask that the funds be released to me, but that would have
drawn a
straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. But on
the
other hand, you with the same very name as the original depositor would
easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim.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 The Security Firm and instruct them to
release
the deposit to you. With these two things: all is done. The alternative
would be for us to have The Security Firm 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 The Security Company. We can fine-tune this
based on our interactions 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 will not 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 blessed you with a luck that has planted
you
into the center of relevance in my life.Lets share the blessing. If you
find
yourself able to work with me, contact me through this 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 myself. My official lines are not secured
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 that 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 learned from my private banking clients. Do not
betray
my confidence.
Kindly send your response to my private email address
:alastairwilson44@yahoo.co.uk
I await your response.
Alastair Wilson.
