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 letter and had the funds deposited
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
Below is my confidential telephone number to reach me on this subject matter.
