Subject: [SPAM]Dear Friend
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: lubcopan_11@yahoo.es.
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: lubcopan_11@yahoo.es
Thanks and regards.
Ljubco Panevski.
Director, Investment Banking.
