Hello Sir,
My name is Mr.Jay Wayas. I trained and work as an external auditor for the
EFG Private Bank Limited, Jersey, Channel Islands, working as part of a
bigger team that covers the entire Channel Islands. I have taken pains to
find your contact through a colleague that is connected with foreign affairs
department.On routine audit check last year, I discovered some investment
accounts that had been dormant for at least 9 years. All the accounts belong
to a single/ one account holder with monies totalling a little above 8.6
million United States Dollars.Now banking regulation/legislation here demand
that I do notify the fiscal authorities after a statutory time span of 8
years when dormant accounts of this type are called in by the Jersey
monetary regulatory bodies.The above set of facts underscores my reason for
writing and proposing
to you.My investigations of the said account reveals that the investor, a
Briton had died in 1995-the exact time the account was last operated. I
can confirm with certainty that the said investor died interstate and no
next -of -kin to his estate has been found or has come forward all these
years.I am of the settled conviction that using my insider leverage, I,
working with you can secure the funds in the account for ourselves instead
of allowing it pass as unclaimed funds into the coffers of the Government of
Channel Islands .I have in my custody all relevant documents (legal and
Banking) that will facilitate your claims as the beneficiary of the funds.
If this offer is okay by you, we can put minds together and workout the
modalities and our mutual benefits.I shall however leave out the finer
details of this transaction till I receive an affirmation of your desire to
participate . Be rest assured that I am in control of the situation and as
such, there would be no risk
whatsoever if you elect to come on board. Needless to say, UTMOST
CONFIDENTIALITY is of vital importance if we are to successfully reap
the immense benefits of this transaction.
Please send your response to my private and more confidential e-mail:
jay_wayas_dr@yahoo.com,which I have created for this purpose only.
I do expect your prompt response.
Truly Your's
Jay Wayas
