419 scam: "paolo abate" <paoloabate100@msn.com> Succinctly Stated

A very good day to you, please do not be taken aback, by this information which I am sharing with you, I urge you to be open minded and read on. I am Mr. Paolo Abate, manager of Banca Intesa Private Banking Sector, Torino Agenzia 3, Torino, ITALY. What I wish to relate to you might smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something pertinent. On June 6, 1997, Mr. Aloysius Han came to our Bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking Division. He told us that he had a financial portfolio of 5.7 million USD, which he wished to have us turnover (invest) on his behalf. Based on the investment, we spun the money around which with accrued profit and interest stood at over 6.5 million United States Dollars.
In mid 1999, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Antwerp. He directed that I liquidate the funds and have it deposited with a firm in Torino. I informed him that Banca Intesa 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 round when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited at the Torino based security firm. Mr. Aloysius Han told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from the U.S later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 29th October 1999.
In November later that year, we got a call from the security firm informing us about 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 Torino based firm and I could not understand Why Mr. Aloysius Han, had not come forward to claim his deposit. All of a sudden, information trickled in, apparently Mr. Aloysius Han was dead. This was announced worldwide and below is the link from the CNN announcement of the Death of Mr. Aloysius Han and 87 others on board Alaska Airlines Flight 261.

My bank immediately launched an investigation into any possible surviving next of kin, to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. This bank has spent great a amount of money trying to track this man’s family; they have investigated for months and have found no family, the investigation has come to an end. My proposal: I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct Torino based 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 60/40. 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.
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 Mr. Aloysius Han. I will then officially communicate with Torino based firm and instruct them to release the deposit to you.

PAOLO ABATE.
