Thank you for giving me your time. Please be patient and read my e-mail
to you.
I am a staff of the Hang Seng Bank.I am contacting you concerning a
customer Gen.Aadeel Agaal Bastaan, an investment placed under our banks
management 3 years ago,I contacted you independently of our investigation
and no one is informed of this communication and I would like to
intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
In 2000, the subject matter; ref: bb/HSB/bank/73 came to our bank to
engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services
Department. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 10.5M USD(TEN
MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND USD),which he wished to have us turn over
on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous
suggestions in line with my duties as the Diretor of Operations officer
of the Private Banking Services Department,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 600 traditional stocks and
bond managers and 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 12 million USD,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 in Europe.
He directed that I liquidate the funds and had it deposited with a my
Bank. I informed him that our bank 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 borders has become especially strict
since the incidents of 9/11.
I contacted my affiliate in Europe and had the funds available in main
land Europe. I
undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his
precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited in my
bank,In line with instructions, the money was deposited. He 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 2002.
This was an outstanding 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, and I could not understand why he had not come
forward to claim his deposit.I made futile efforts to locate him I
immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations
department of our bank. Four days later, information started to trickle
in, that he was apparently 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.
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.The
investigation has come to an end. My proposal;Being a foreigner and a
friend and a business partner to be I am prepared to place you in a
position to instruct my bank 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 and no more. 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 or a member of my family, but that would have drawn a straight
line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. But on the other
hand, you as a foreigner would easily pass as the beneficiary with the
rights to claim.I assure you that I have had everything planned out so
that we shall come out successful.There is no risk
involved at all in
this matter, as we are going to adopt a legalized method.
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 e-mail. I ask
that you do not be vindictive or 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 I hope you
understand because
for once I found myself in total control and face to face with my
destiny.
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 e-mail account. Contact me
only through this e-mail address:mrmingyang243@yahoo.com.hk. 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.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
