Subject: IMMEDIATE RESPONSE
Dear Associate,
Thank you for giving me your time. Please be patient and read my email to
you.
I work as an internal auditor for a Suisse Bank. Prior to this position, I
was attached to Private Banking services. I am contacting you concerning an
investment placed under our banks management; you are contacted
independently out of investigation in the bank. I would like to intimate you
with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
In the year 1994, a certain single account holder (now deceased) came to our
bank to engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services
Department. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 21 million
United States dollars, which he wished to have us invest on his behalf. I
was the officer assigned to his case; I then proceeded to provide numerous
suggestions and advise in line with my duties as the de-facto Chief
Operations officer of the Private Banking Services Department, 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 favored route in my
advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 600 traditional stocks
and bond managers and alternative investments.
Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made
very attractive profits margins during our first months of operation; He
desired low risk and guaranteed returns on investments, and as such we could
not utilise the full potential of the funds. At some point, he requested
disinvestments and directed that the funds be deposited in a Fixed
(Numbered) Deposit account in my branch for 12 calender months. His
instructions were precisely followed to the latter and all the funds
recalled from the active market and deposited. Upon maturity, I sent a
routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a
month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers, that he died from an automobile accident. On further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all
attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. Further investigation of
the said account revealed that the death occured in 1999, the exact year the
account was last operated, also he did not declare any kin or relations in
all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This money is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over
with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come
forward to claim it. Banking regulation and legislation in Switzerland
demand that I notify the fiscal authorities after a statutory time period of
twelve years when dormant accounts of this type are called in by the
monetary regulatory bodies. It is only an outsider to the banking world who
finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of
private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy
certain offices and oversee certain portfolios.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in
as the next of kin. This is especially possible as you share same details as
the said investor. This exactly is why I crave your participation and
co-operation. I have seized all relevant documents (legal and Banking) that
will facilitate our putting you forward as the claimant and beneficiary of
the funds and ultimately transfer the money to any account nominated by you.
Of course you shall be handsomely rewarded for your part in this transaction
as I am prepared to share the deposit with you in halves 50% of the total
funds for your efforts, less expenses. I shall however leave out the finer
details of this transaction till I receive an affirmation of your desire to
participate.
To maintain the level of security required to see this transaction come to a
successful conclusion, I have intentionally left out the details. Please
acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual partnership
and endeavor by furnishing me with your Full Names, Date of Birth, Telephone
Number, Fax Number, company / position held, Email address, Contact address
and Postal address. These requirements will enable us file letter of claim
to the appropriate departments for
necessary approvals in your favor for the deposit to be released to you
before the funds can be released for transfer.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by an attorney and with me as an insider guarantees the successful
execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply
immediately to this email: (lpanco447@sify.com)
The dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such
opportunities only come once in a lifetime. Do not betray my confidence and
be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of
us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your
country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email: (lpanco447@sify.com)
Thanks and regards.
Ljubco Panevski.
Director, Investment Banking.
