Goodday,
I am David Palmer, staff of SMITH & WILLIAMSON Private Banking.
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
Thirty 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
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 rowth 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.
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.
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, butthat 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 david_palmer012uk@yahoo.com.hk 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 learnd from my private banking clients. Do not betray my
confidence.Kindly send your response to my private email address
david_palmer012uk@yahoo.com.hk
I await your response.
DAVID PALMER
