Subject: (LANE & PARTNERS)
Good Day,
I am Mr. William Morton, staff of Lane & Partners; I am contacting you concerning a
deceased customer and an investment placed under my legal supervision three years ago. I
would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect
the integrity of the information. I have contacted you independently of our investigation
as no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain
facts I believe would be of interest to you; I urge you to read on. In the year 2002, the
subject matter; came to my firm to request for legal representation and professional advice
on his investments, he informed my firm that he had a financial portfolio worth (Thirty
million United States dollars) with a bank here in London and wishes to have us turn over
(invest) on his behalf. Being recognized as a field including merger and acquisitions in
sale and purchase of businesses, including liquidations and receiverships, advising on the
duties of clients and staffs, finance and leasing transactions growth, I was personally
assigned to his case. I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as his legal
representative assigned, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into the
other banks. Based on his request, we met on numerous occasions prior to any new
investments plan being placed as a registered contractor. 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 6In mid 2002, he asked that the money be liquidated because he
needed to make an urgent investment requiring immediate cash payments here in London. He
directed that I use my good office to liquidate the funds in cash from his bank. I informed
him that my company (Lane & Partners) would have to make special arrangements to have this
done from the bank 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 me. If you are aware, cash movement cross boarders has become
especially strict since the incidents of 9/11 and the terrorist bombing in London. I
contacted my affiliate and made the funds available as requested through a reliable contact
on mine within the banking circle. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed
his precise instructions to the le!tter and had the funds deposited wIn June last year, I
got a call from the security firm informing us that the inactivity of that particular
portfolio. This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, I was the only one
who knew about the deposit with the bank, and I could not understand why the deceased had
not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate the deceased as my
client; I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations
department of Lane & Partners where I work. Four weeks after, information started to
trickle in, apparently our client was dead. A person who suited his description was
declared dead of a heart attack in Oslo the capital of Norway, We were soon enough to
identify the body and cause of death was confirmed. Our firm immediately launched an
investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation since he did
not indicate in our records to come forward to claim his estate. Official capacity dictates
that! I am the only party to supervise According to practice, The holding security firm has
requested that I provide the next of kin/ Beneficiary within three weeks (3) as his legal
representative and failing to do so would require returning the whole sum to Lane &
Partners where I work and it mean re-entering Lane & Partners official accounting system
and the portfolio simultaneously getting out of my hands and control which I do not wish to
happen if I have my way. What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice, but
I want you to understand something clearly that it is only an outsider to the legal world
who finds the internal politics of the legal world aberrational. The world of legal
practice especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and
oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general
direction of what I propose. There is Thirty million dollars deposited in a security firm
known to only me and I have the deposit details and this firm will release the deposit to
no one unless who I present. I alone know the existence of this deposit as far as Lane &
Partners is concerned. Lane and partners dealings ended with the late man, when he
requested that I send the funds to the security firm for safe keep, all outstanding
interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process. The
holding firm has no single idea of what\'s the history or nature of the deposit even as they
secure it. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party
legally presented by me to come forward as the next of kin. This is the exact situation. I
have spent great amount of time and money trying to track this man\'s family but to no
avail; they have investigated for several months and have! Found no family member. Please
my friend; I am requesting your consent and full support to place you in a legal position
and advise the Bank to release the deposit to you as the relation to my late client. Upon
your acceptance, I am prepared to share the money with you in half\'s. All I need do to
achieve this is to present you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you
for us to share the proceeds in 50/50 each. If it was possible, I would have gone ahead to
request the funds personally, but it would draw a straight line to my involvement in
claiming the deposit which I am known to be in charge of. But on the other hand, as the
original depositor\'s relative would easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim
perfectly without hitch provided you follow my instructions as a professional. I assure
you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few working weeks if you would
accept my proposal. I will simply inform the firm of the final closing of the file relating
to the deceased I will then officially communicate with the firm and instruct them to
release the deposit to you immediately as soon as I am able to get the legal documents we
would need if you accept my proposal. As a legal practitioner, I am aware of the
consequences of my proposal you. I ask that if you find no interest in this project please
let me know and don not be vindictive and destructive, if my offer is of no appeal to you.
Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this
but people like me who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole
private legal 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 and now as such opportunities only come once in a lifetime.
Please I don\'t want to let this chance pass me bye, if for once I find myself in total
control of my destiny please do not destroy my chances, if you will not work with me just
let me know so that I can move on with my life but do not destroy me. I have sent you this
email from my official website in the bid to establish who I !say I really am and to avoid
any fI am a family man with a wife and two children and I see this as an opportunity to
provide them with better life opportunities. I have reached you with full confidence and
trust in dealing with me and what ever you do, make sure that you do not reply me through
this official channel; I do not want you contacting me through my official channel because
they are not secure and periodically monitored to assess clients care in line with our
Total Quality Management Policy.There is a reward for this project and it is a task well
worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you
refusing to work with me and alerting my Office. If you find yourself able to work with me,
please give me positive signal for me to initiate this process towards a conclusion. By
furnishing me the following information listed below for easier communication via the email
address I have provided below.
1. Full Name
2. Your Telephone and Fax Numbers for better communication
3. Your physical (contact) Address
God Bless
William Morton
