Subject: Mondalities
Dear sir,
Thanks for your response to my email; I quite appreciate your willingness to assist in this transaction. You might not be the one I am looking for, I have contacted you to present your details to the bank as his next of kin. This is to ensure that my client’s money is not forfeited to the bank for not being able to find his next of kin. The bank knows that I worked very closely with him while he was alive and I made most of the investments on his behalf.
I contacted you independently and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to acquaint you with more details regarding this transaction, to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
My client and I were very close. 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 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of 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 US$9,000.000.00 MILLION, 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. He directed that I liquidate the funds and have it deposited in his domiciliary bank account.
I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited accordingly. He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from a trip to Cape Town later that week. This was the last communication we had.
If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize their services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, my Client listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account 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 even 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 and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; our now
Deceased client died in testate. It is quite clear now that our dear fellow died with no known or identifiable family members. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit.
What I have related to you might 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 sit upon certain chairs and oversee certain portfolios. I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so.
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 in a lifetime. For once, I find myself in total control of my destiny. This chance will not pass me by.
However, this is a simple mondalities and instructions for you, to enable us acheive success in a short period.
GOOD FORTUNE has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Let us share the blessing. I shall send to you within the week a draft agreement that would protect our Interests in this transaction.
Please, email me with a brief profile of you.
I advise you send me email on my email address below; martin_messah010@yahoo.co.uk or you can reach me on my Private telephone + 27-73-492-3404. If you need more clarifications
As soon as I hear from you I shall send you a copy draft agreement as well as the fund release form which you shall download, fill and send to the bank for approval and the draft agreement to my private fax which will bound me and you in this transaction.
God bless you.
MARTIN MESSAH.
