Dear Friend,
How are you today and business in your
country? I am
Mr.Chang Chung, Bank Manager of Bank of
China,
Shenzen Branch. 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 know you
would be
wondering why I am writing you with a request
such as
this but I only urge you to read on.
Sometime in 1999, a certain
consultant/contractor Mr.
Glen Hatleberg made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit
for twelve calendar months, valued at large
amount
(Amount withheld for known reasons) in my
branch. Upon
maturity, I sent a routine notification to
his
forwarding address in America but got no
reply. After
a month, we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered
from his contract employers, the Japanese
Solid
Minerals Corporation that Mr. Glen Hatleberg
died
longside his wife, from an airplane crash.
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. Private banking clients apart
from not
nominating any next of kin also usually in
most cases
leave WILLS in our care, in this case; Mr.
Glen
Hatleberg died intestate.
In line with our internal processes for
account
holders who have passed away, my bank
conducted a
search in good faith to determine who should
have
right to claim the estate. This has for the
past
months been unfruitful. This sum has since
been
sitting in my bank and the interest is being
rolled
over with the principal sum at the end of
each year.
No one, it is evident is going to come
forward for it.
According to the Laws of my environment, at
the
expiration of 10(ten) years, the money will
revert to
the ownership of the chines Government if
nobody
applies to claim the funds. 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
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 as I
alone have
the deposit details and they will release the
deposit
to no one unless evidence of relationship
with the
deceased, which I shall provide you with, is
presented. I alone know of the existence of
this
deposit for as far as the Bank of china
shenzhen is
concerned, the bank's management has no
single idea of
the history or nature of the deposit. They
are simply
awaiting instructions to release the deposit
to the
party that comes forward. This is the
situation. My
bank has spent great amounts of money trying
to track
this man's family; they have investigated for
months
and have found no relative. The investigation
has come
to an end.
Consequently, what I propose is that I will
like you
as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin
to Mr.
Glen Hatleberg so that the fruits of this old
man's
labour will not get into the hands of some
corrupt
government officials. Acting in this capacity
really
is simple as I will explain in detail to you
when I
get your response. However, I wish to state
that
because of my level of involvement, when you
are
awarded the funds and it has been paid into
your
account, it will be shared 60/30 between us
and the
outstanding 10% for miscellaneous/incurred
expenses.
Being aware of this request I am making, 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.
You may not know this but people like me 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.
If you will not work with me let me know and
I will
move on with my life but do not destroy me. I
am a
family man and this is an opportunity to
provide my
family with new opportunities. The reward for
this
project makes 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.
My position as the Branch Manager guarantees
the
successful execution of this transaction. If
you find
yourself able to work with me, I urge you to
indicate
to that effect by contacting me through this
email
address. Upon your response, if favorable, I
shall
then provide you with more details and
relevant
information that will help you get full
understanding
of this. I wish to inform you that should you
contact
me via official channels; I will deny knowing
you and
about this project. 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, again, note I am a family man; I have
a wife
and children, 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. If we
can be of
one accord, we should plan a meeting, soon.
In closing, please observe utmost
confidentiality, and
be rest assured that this transaction would
be most
profitable for both of us. After receiving
your reply,
I will then furnish you with a more
comprehensive
detail of this transaction and what is
required.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Chang Chung.
