From: "Jacque Woods" <jakque_woods@msn.com>
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2005 12:03:11 +0000
Subject: For Your Sincere Consideration.
My name is Jacque P. Woods; I am a senior partner in the firm of Midland
Consulting limited, London.
I happened to have made consultations and investigations on behalf of HSBC
Private Banking Division, concerning one Mr. Vance K. Walker,and an
investment he made with the aforementioned Bank a few years ago.
According to our reports to HSBC Private Banking, Mr. Walker Died last year
in Cannes South of France. Prior to his death, he had instructed his account
officer to liquidate and deposit his fund as cash totaling (Eight Million,
Six Hundred Pounds) with United Asset Management; a
Security Consultancy Firm in mainland Europe. United Asset Management; the
Security Consultancy Firm had written to HSBC Private Banking, in respect to
the inactivity status of the
particular portfolio, which thus triggered the investigation into the
where-about of Mr. Walker.
Since we now know what happened to Mr. Walker, and have exhausted all
avenues to locate a next of kin to Mr. Walker, it is our intention therefore
to nominate someone we feel we can trust, and we feel would be willing to
help us as the beneficiary to his funds.
This will be easy as the Account Officer has the sole responsibility of
endorsing who we bring orward as next of kin, and moreover this gives us
100percent guarantee and full proof. We shall give you further information
and discuss how the funds be shared amongst us involved as soon as you
accept our proposal.
If you assist us in all expenses made before we get the funds transfered to
your nominated account; the share shall be :60percent for my collegue and I,
30percent for you and 10percent for any expenses we might incure before the
money is fully transfered to your account, including
phones call and any other expenses. But if we have to bring in a financier
that will assist us in all expenses before transfer, the share shall be:
60percent for my colegue and I, 10percent for you, 20percent for the
financier and 10percent for all expenses. Please do take note of this.
Even though you may think that this is an aberration of our duties, but if
you are familiar with rivate Banking regulations, you will realize that as
soon as this investigation comes to a close; which of course it will soon,
the funds will be reclaimed by the Bank itself.
Should you be interested in my proposal, contact me immediately so that I
can notify and provide you with the contact information of my Lawyer and
have you both discussing the modus operandi of the business.
I contact you independently of our normal investigation and no one knows
about this communication and I respectfully request that you keep the
contents of this mail very confidential.
Best regards.
Jacque P. Woods
