Toyokatsu Habatahabat200@yahoo.co.jpJoyo Bank(Ibaraki Japan) I am a staff of JOYO BANK (Ibaraki Branch, Japan) attached in private Banking Services. I am contacting you concerning a customer and an investment placed under our banks management about 5 years ago. I am contacting you independently of the just concluded investigation and no one is aware of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of great interest to you. In 2001, the subject matter; Ref: Jb/fhc/bank/107 came to our bank to engage in Private Banking services. He had a financial portfolio of $14,700,000.00 which he wished to have us turn over on his behalf and I was the officer assigned to his case. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins.The accrued profit and interest stood at this time over $15,300,000.00. In line with the instructions he had earlier given to liquidate the funds after 4 years in order for him to make some Investment requiring cash payme nts in Europe,I followed his instructions and I later made numerous attempt to contact him after 3 years in order to get further instructions from him.I made futile efforts to locate him and I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of our bank. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Cannes, South of France. The body was later identified and cause of death was confirmed. Sequel upon this, the bank launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate since he listed no next of kin in his bio-data form, this investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. Every continent has been scanned by means of private investigation affiliate companies to get to find any immediate relative and this search has been unfruitful and has now come to a close. It is this investigation that resulted in my being furnished with your details. There is US$16,000,000.00 under my management,I alone have the deposit details and this will be release to no one unless I instruct my Bank to do so. I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct my Bank to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to give you 30% of the total sum for your help. I will initiate this process towards conclusion once I get your reply. Please reply to my private e-mail address: habat200@yahoo.co.jp I await your quick response. Regards,Toyokatsu.habat200@yahoo.co.jp
