Subject: ENQUIRY
Good
day, I
am John
Judge, a
staff of
ADAM
&
COMPANY I
am
contacting
you
independently
of my
investigation
and no one
is
informed
of this
communication.
I would
like to
intimate
you with
certain
facts
that I
believed
would be
of
interest
to you.I
Would
respectfully
request
that you
keep the
contents
of this
confidential
and
respect
the
integrity
of the
information
you come
by as a
result of
this
mail. I
am
contacting
you in
respect
of $10.5
Million
USD
deposited
with our
private
bank
whose
original
depositor
died in
mid
2002,According
to
practice,
The bank
will by
the end
of its
financial
year
broadcast
a request
for
statements
of
claims,failing
to receive
viable
claims
they will
probably
revert
the
deposit
back to
ADAM
&
COMPANY.This
will
result in
the money
entering
the ADAM
&
COMPANY
accounting
system,This
will not
happen if
I have my
way, the
world of
private
banking
especially
is fraught
with huge
rewards
for those
who occupy
certain
offices
and
oversee
certain
portfolios.As
a matter
of
fact,In
line with
our
internal
processes
for
account
holders
who have
passed
away,we
instituted
our own
investigations
in good
fate to
determine
who should
have right
to claim
the
estate.
This
investigation
has for
the past
years
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
present
official
capacity
as the
Head of
private
banking
sector
dictates
that I am
the only
party to
supervise
the
investigation
and the
only
party to
receive
the
results
of the
investigation,leaves
me as the
only
person
with the
full
picture
of what
the
prevailing
situation
is in
relation
to the
deposit
and the
beneficiary
of the
deposit.
My
proposal:I
am
prepared
to place
you in a
position
to
initiate
the
release
of the
deposit
to you as
the
closest
surviving
relation,Upon
successful
delivery
of the
deposit
to you,I
am
prepared
to share
the money
with you.
That is:
I will
simply
norminate
you as the
next of
kin and
have them
release
the
deposit
to you.
We share
the
proceeds
50/50
%.The
alternative
would be
for us to
have The
bank ADAM
&
COMPANY
direct
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 The
bank. We
can
fine-tune
this based
on our
interactions
am aware
of the
consequences
of this
proposal.
I ask that
if you
find no
interest
in this
project
that you
should
discard
this
mail. I
ask that
you do
not be
vindictive
and
destructive.
If my
offer is
of no
appeal to
you,
delete
this
message
and
forget I
ever
contacted
you.
My
present
official
capacity
as the
Head of
private
banking
sector I
assure
you that
I could
have the
deposit
released
to you
within
few days.
I
shall
validate
the
claim,
make a
customary
writing
report
that you
are the
Beneficiary.This
report
will
validate
the
bonafide
of your
claim and
confirm
you as
the
beneficiary
and
therefore
entitled
to an
allocation
of Control
Approval
code for
the
release
of the
deposit
by the
bank
.once i
validate
the
claim,
the bank
is bound
to
approve
same,
this is
why i
have an
unflinching
confidence
in the
safety of
our
arrangement.The
transaction
will be
100%
legal.
From the
foregoing,
you are
therefore
able to
appreciate
why i have
hammered
on the
absolute
necessity
of our
maintenance
of
confidentiality
of the
project
and the
transfer
even
after we
have
disbursed
the money
after
arrival
in your
position.
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,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 risk
and the
only risk
I have
here is
from you
refusing
to work
with me
and
alerting
my bank.
I am the
only one
who knows
of this
situation,If
you find
yourself
able to
work with
me,
contact
me
through
this
account.
If you
give me
positive
signals,
I will
initiate
this
process
towards a
conclusion.
I wish to
inform
you that
should
you
contact
me via
official
channels;
I will
deny
knowing
you and
about
this
project.
I
repeat, I
do not
want you
contacting
me through
my
official
phone
lines nor
do I want
you
contacting
me through
my
official
account.
Contact
me only
through
the
numbers I
will
provide
for you
and also
through
this
address.
I do not
want any
direct
link
between
you and
myself.
My
official
lines are
not
secured
lines as
they are
periodically
monitored
to access
our level
of
customer
care in
line with
our Total
Quality
Management
Policy.Please
observe
this
instruction
religiously.
Awaiting
your
immediate
response. Thanks
for your
co-operation.

Judge
