CONFIDENTIALITY REQUIRED....(Proposal

From: Mr. David Palmer - davidpalmer_9060@yahoo.co.uk

Goodday,
I am David Palmer, staff of SMITH & WILLIAMSON Private Banking.I am
contacting you concerning one the deceased, customer and an investment he
placed under our banks management Seven 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 Thirty
million united states dollars,which he wished to have us turn over
(invest) on his behalf.Iwas 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
advise 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 guaranteed returns on investments.In mid 2001, he asked that the
money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment
requiring cash payments here in the united kingdom. He directed that I
liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security firm. I informed him
that SMITH & WILLIAMSON 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 February 2003.In June last year, we got a
call from the security firm informing us that 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 SMITH &
WILLIAMSON. 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, 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 whopatronize 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, The Security Firm will by the end of this financial year
broadcast a request for statements of claim to SMITH & WILLIAMSON,failing
to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit back
to SMITH & WILLIAMSON. This will result in the money entering the SMITH
&WILLIAMSON 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.There is Thirty 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 SMITH & WILLIAMSON 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
whats 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 the same surname With our late client; 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 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. 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. 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 wont
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 name
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: davidpalmer_9060@yahoo.co.uk 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 learned from my private banking
clients. Do not betray my confidence.


Kindly send your response to my private email address:

I await your response.
David Palmer.
