Subject: URGENT!!!
Dear Friend,
I introduce myself as Mark Wildman, Global Head of Offshore Banking at
Deutsche Bank. A contracted staff of Perez and Hamilton contacted you
earlier concerning Mr. Moser Arington and an investment placed under
ourbanks management 9 years ago. I would respectfully request that you
keepthe contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of
the information you come by as a result of this mail. I contact you
independently of our investigation and emphasise the reason of this
communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I
believe would be of interest to you.
In 1996, the subject matter; Moser came to our bank to engage in
business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us
that he had a financial portfolio of Eight 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 global head of the Offshore 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 growth funds with prime
ratings.
The favoured 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 popularly known as hedge Funds 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 8.37 million United
StatesDollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but
he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments.
In mid 1997, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to
make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Antwerp. He
directed that I liquidate the funds and had it deposited with a firm in
Belgium. I informed him that Deutsche Bank 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 2.5 % deduction from the funds
tocater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the
chargesbut later came around when I explained to him the complexities
of the task he was asking of us,he was more worried about the heavy
taxationthe European union might impose and also to avoid dual taxation
from European membercountries. Cash movement across borders has become
especially strict since the incidents of 9/11.
I contacted my affiliate in Belgium and had the funds available in
mainland Europe. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed
his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited at
the Brussels based security consultancy firm, Imperial Asset Management
Company . Imperial Asset Management Company is a private firm that
accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip
corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions
that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly private
organisation is familiar especially to the highly placed and
well-connected organisations.
In Line with instructions, the money was deposited with Imperial Asset
Management Company. Moser 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 27th September 1997.
In June last year, we got a call from Imperial Asset Management Company
informing us of the inactivity of that particular portfolio. This was
anastounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I
wasstill in the Offshore banking sector I'm the only one other than
Tony Dupan who himself is on a year's leave of absence and is now a
visitinglecturer at theLondon School Of Economics still works for the
bank as we both servedon the sub-committee on Mr.Moser's portfolio
initially who knew about the deposit at Imperial Asset Management
Company, and I could not understand why Moser had not come forward to claim
his
deposit.
We made futile efforts to locate Moser. I immediately passed the task
oflocating him to the internal investigations department of Deutsche
Bank.Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently
Moser wasdead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of
a heartattack in Canne, South of France. We were soon enough able to
identify the body and cause of death was confirmed. The bank
immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of
kin to alert about the situation and also tocome forward to claim his
estate. If you are familiar with Offshore bankingaffairs, those who
patronise our
servicesusually 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 Offshore banking, opening an account with us 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 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.
OffshoreBanking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also
usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; Moser died
intestate.
In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed
away, we instituted ourown 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 my
department supervises the eventual outcome of the investigation.You had
unfortunately declared that you are in no way affiliated with this
individual. What this means, you being the last batch of names we had
considered, is that our dear late fellow died with no known or
identifiable family member. This leaves you 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.
According to practise, Imperial Asset Management Company will by the
end of this year broadcast a request for statements of claim to
DeutscheBank, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably
revert the deposit back to Deutsche Bank. This will result in the money
entering the Deutsche Bank accounting system and the portfolio will be
out of my hands and out of the Offshore banking division. This will not
happen if I have my way. What I wish to relate to you will smack of
unethical practise 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 Offshore banking especially is fraught with huge rewards
for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios.
Youshould have begun by now to put together the general direction of
what I propose. There is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited in Brussels, I have
the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless
underdirectives from my office,as far as Deutsche Bank is concerned,
the transaction with Moser concluded when the funds were sent to
Brussels,all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just
routine and due process. Imperial Asset Management Company has no
single idea ofwhat's the history or nature of the deposit. They are
simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that
comes forward as the beneficiary
This is the situation. This bank has spent great amounts of money
trying to track this
man’s
family; they have investigated
for years and have found no family.
The investigation had been concluded and closed a while back not until
our recent search. My proposal; you share similar details to the late
fellow; I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct Imperial
Asset Management Company 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 as the beneficiary That is: I will simply nominate
you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. You
will get 30% of $8.37 million while I take 70%. I would have gone ahead
to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a
straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. But on
the otherhand, you with the same name as the original depositor would
easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim. I assure you that I
could havethe deposit released to you within a few days no later than
10 business days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of
the file relating to Moser. I will then officially communicate with
ImperialAsset Management Company and instruct them to release the
deposit to you. With these two things: all is done.
The alternative would be for us to have Imperial Asset Management
Company send the funds to another bank with you as account holder. This
way there will be no need for you to think of receiving the money from
Imperial Asset Management Company. We can fine-tune this based on our
interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask
that if you find no interest in this project that you should reconsider
your position. I ask that you do not be too hasty to draw up
conclusionsas I have put in a lot of effort into this and your role
will be only that of a benefactor. You may not know this but people
like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run
the whole Off shore sector and in my profession this is not an uncommon
practise as onemight think I do not find against good conscience, this
may be hard foryou to understand, but the dynamics of my industry
dictates that I make this move.
Such opportunities only come ones way once in a lifetime. We should not
let this chance pass us 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 atask well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the
risks onyour side is barely minimal because hundreds of claims are
filedeveryday at the claims and deposits departments so it's not an
unusual practise that may raise eye-brows I am the only one who knows
of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has
planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Lets
share the blessing.
If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through my
private email account below. I do not particularly know you so I would
wait on your response to judge your level of transparency and honesty
need not you disappear after the money gets into your coffers with
level of understanding between us I will start the initiation of this
processtowards a conclusion.
I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do
I want you contacting me through my official email account as this
transaction will not be done under the clock of my employer. Contact
will be through my personal numbers and also through this email
address, same could apply to you if you wish. My officiallines are not
secure linesas they are periodically monitored to assess our level of
customer care
in line with our TotalQuality ManagementPolicy. Avery dear friend of
mine and university classmate Mr.Michael Soden of Bank OfIreland had to
quit his job in May when unethical material was found on hisoffice computer
during a routine maintenance of his machine and the results ofthe
internal investigation were leaked to the local press seriously denting
his career after all the service, good work and sacrifice he had given
the industry.
Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a
family man, I have wife and children. I send you this mail not without
a measure of doubt as to what the consequences, 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. This is the one truth I have
learnt from my private banking clients.
Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan
a meeting soon.
I await your response. Please call me on +44 70401114578609
please reply to my private email address:markwildman239@yahoo.de
Mark.
