Goodday ,
I am Jonathan Cunningham, Chief Operating Officer Cunningham Coates Stockbrokers
SMITH & WILLIAMSON Private Banking.
I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he
placed under our banks management three years ago.I would respectfully request
that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity
of the information you come by as a result of this mail. I contacted you
independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication.
I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be
of interest to you.In 2000, the subject matter; came to our bank to engage
in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us
that he had a financial portfolio of Thirty million united states dollars,which
he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf.I was the officer
assigned to his case, I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties
as the de-facto chief operations officer of the private banking sector,
especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We
met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged
him to consider various rowth funds with prime ratings.
The favored route in my advise 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 ten
million United States Dollars, this margin was not the full
potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments.
This bank also 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; the deceased died without
a testate. In line with our internal processes for account
holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good
faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation
has for the past months been unfruitful.We have scanned
every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to
get to the root of the problem. It is this investigation that resulted in
my being furnished with your details as a possible relative of the
deceased. My official capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise
the investigation and the only party to receive the results of the investigation.
What this means, you being the last batch of names we
have considered, is that our dear late fellow died with no known or identifiable
family member.
My proposal; you share the same surname With our late client; I am prepared
to place you in a position to instruct The security 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% for me, 40% for you Should you be interested please
send me the following informations below, I will prefer you reach me on
my private email address below And finally after that i shall provide you
with more details of this transaction.Your earliest response to this letter
will be highly appreciated.

I await your response.
Jonathan Cunningham.
