Subject: MORE INFORMATION REGARDING MY PROPOSAL (JOHN BAMIDELE)
In the year 2002, the subject matter came to me to act as his legal representative in business discussions with the private banking division of this bank in question. He informed me that he had a financial portfolio of Five Million, Five Hundred and Twenty Two Thousand United States Dollar, which he wished to have the bank turn over (invest) on his behalf. The officer assigned to his case made numerous suggestions in line with his duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the private banking sector then, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into the bank. We met on numerous occasions with the bankers prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in the advice of the operations officer was to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments.
Based on their 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 Two million United States Dollars, this margin, we were informed, was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments.
In mid 2003, Mr. Gabriel Singh asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Helsinki- Finland. He directed that the investment be liquidated and the funds made available for transfer. The bank informed him that they would have to make special arrangements to have this done 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 charges, statutory charges and tax on the profit. He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking from the bank. He took away what was the profit (after tax and other charges has been deducted) and left the capital for the transfer.
In line with instructions, the money was liquidated. The deceased told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 12th of November 2003 before his demise on the 25th of December same year.
If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize these services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors are allowed to use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. 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 the care of their attorneys, in this case; the deceased died without one.
Due to the level of my involvement in the investment and my capacity as the appointed attorney to the investment the bank instructed me to locate the next of kin or a close relative. This investigation has gone on for the past months been unfruitful. I 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 present official capacity as the client’s attorney dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party present the beneficiary of the fund. What this means, is that our dear late fellow died with no known or identifiable family member. 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 wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world and legal practice who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. There is $5.522M dollars deposit, I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as the Bank is concerned.
My proposal: I now seek your permission to present you as a next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked to make you the beneficiary to the funds $5.522M. I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct the bank to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation and upon receipt of the deposit; I am prepared to share the money with you.
We can fine-tune this based on our interactions am aware of the consequences of this proposal.
You may not know this but people like me who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole practice. 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 once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities.
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 the wrong people. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a luck that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Let us share the blessing.
If you find yourself able to work with me, do forward to me ALL of the following information to enable me initiate transfer process. This includes, Your Full Names, Contact/Residential Address, Telephone/Fax, and numbers, Age/Date of Birth, Occupation.
Please, again, note that I am a family man; I have a wife and children. I send you this mail with caution, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. Please treat this with a high level of confidentially. You can reach me for more clarification with telephone numbers below. I await your response.
