Dear Sir,
In our capacity as the transit correspondent bank and abandoned fund liquidators, OFFSHORE CAPITAL LTD, the final executors of all TRANSIT BULK DELIVERY TRANSFERS and UNCLAIMED FUNDS have received a PAYMENT/TRANSFER MANDATE from the Bank of England to release the total sum of $5.39Milliom (Five Million, Three Hundred and Ninety Thousand US Dollars) from their Offshore Federated Account with us to you as the end recipient.
Instruction from the apex bank is that this part payment covers an outstanding debt owed to you. We are mandated to release this sum to you within 72hrs of this payment notice and endorsement in accordance with our memorandum of understanding (MOU) and payment instructions with the Bank of England.
This fund is currently placed under our custody having been liquidated from NatWest Bank London because it had been floating with them for the past 2 years without claim as we were informed that several attempts were made to pay you this fund by ATM Card without success, therefore the fund was liquidated by the apex bank and placed on a transit account with us.
As we have a 72-hrs mandate and deadline to effect this payment to you, as an OFFSHORE CAPITAL LTD Customer, it is a pre-requisite that you must acknowledge and agree that since after the 9/11 Terrorist attack in USA, large Wire Transfers are subject to the rules set forth in our Bank's Terms and Conditions governing funds transfers as we must follow the normal banking procedures in accordance with the US Global PATRIOTIC Act Certification and the UK Treasury Office of Foreign Asset Control regulations process which informs that all wire transfers and transactions are subject to possible restrictions under the UK Treasury Office of Foreign Asset Control regulations.
PAYMENT PROCEDURE:
You shall be receiving this payment by SECURE ONLINE TRANSFER SYSTEM as we have already placed the fund in a temporary ONLINE OFFSHORE SECURE BANK ACCOUNT for you; this is for security reasons, pending when you will set up an account proper.
Your payment through offshore banks in Jersey will be smooth and most guaranteed because Jersey is one of the most well respected offshore financial centres in the world because it is incredibly well regulated and affords individuals who bank, insure, incorporate or invest on the island excellent levels of protection and security.
In case you don't know, Jersey offshore bank accounts can suit many individual and corporate requirements and are popular with those who wish to contain their business structure within the Channel Island jurisdictions and who have incorporated a company in Jersey and now wish to avoid paying local taxes on interest earned on their account balance for example. Those who incorporate in other places and hold a bank account will have to pay local taxation on interest earned on bank deposits; therefore opening an offshore bank account in Jersey can help a company director avoid this taxation in a perfectly legal way. Jersey may be less well known than other countries by offshore consumers however it is still home to some of the world's leading and most well respected financial institutions especially in the banking and regular and offshore trust niches which means that it is an excellent offshore jurisdiction to investigate and consider for those seeking an offshore bank account !
solution.
For expatriates or international business travellers, a Jersey offshore bank account can offer greater flexibility and a cost effective central account for international financial transactions. For companies, a corporate offshore bank account can offer tax saving advantages. An offshore bank account can provide you with international access to funds, it can offer you the ability to transact in multiple currencies, have a credit or debit card, issue and receive cheques, check your balance online and such an account is offered by the vast majority of reputable banks including those on your nearest high street.
EVEN IF YOU HAVE BANKED WITH A GIVEN INSTITUTION FOR MANY YEARS, IF YOU ARE SUDDENLY ABOUT TO COME INTO A LARGE SUM OF MONEY – IN THE FORM OF AN INHERITANCE PAY OUT, CONTRACT PAYMENT, A ROYALTIES PAYMENT, COMMISSIONS FOR A BOOK SOLD OR JUST A LUMP SUM FROM AN INVESTMENT OR A DEAL FOR EXAMPLE AND TAKE ANOTHER INSTANCE AS YOU ARE ABOUT TO RECEIVE YOUR CONTRACT ENTITLEMENT WHICH RUNS INTO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS – THE VAST MAJORITY OF BANKS WILL TREAT THE MONEY AND YOU WITH SUSPICION. YOU MUST NOTE THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM WHY ALL THESE YEARS YOU HAVE HAD UGLY EXPERIENCES AND FRUSTRATIONS TRYING TO CLAIM YOUR CONTRACT/INHERITANCE ENTITLEMENT AND NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO DIRECT YOU PROPERLY.
Even if the banks accept the money – and many banks won't – they will hold it for as long as they need to while they conduct investigations into the legitimacy of the source. During this period you will have no access to funds in your account, you will be subject to financial scrutiny and you will have to provide any and all information and documentary evidence required of you to prove the legitimacy of the money. AND I KNOW FOR SURE YOU HAVE HAD THESE UGLY EXPERIENCES.
At times like this, an offshore bank account is most invaluable – but only if you have a strong backing and directives by a fiduciary agent who has personal strong connections with a reputable bank who can introduce you, get an account opened without fuss, credit checks or personal references.
THE OFFSHORE BANKING ADVANTAGE:
The offshore banking advantage nowadays is not so much about saving tax on earnings and savings but on having your fund well secured, not having interference from the financial regulatory bodies investigating the source of the fund and having instant access to your funds and the ability to easily conduct international transactions; this is a guide to the main advantages of banking offshore.
There are many people nowadays who have homes and financial commitments in more than one geographic location and who require the ability to receive and move money around the world. For these types of people a basic domestic bank account is not sufficient. Those who have tried to receive international payments into an onshore current account for example will know that the fees charged if the payment currency differs from the account currency are astronomical!
People who live or regularly travel abroad either for work or leisure purposes can find themselves in the situation where they need access to funds or the ability to check an account balance or make a transfer but they are away from their domestic bank and outside the time zone of the bank's operations centre - this is an occurrence all too familiar with expats and international business persons. With your ONLINE OFFSHORE SECURE BANK ACCOUNT, you do not need to travel down to the bank to make your transactions, all you need in your computer, connected to the internet, you stay at home, access your online account with your USER NAME and PASSWORD, check your account balance, transfer funds to any other account anywhere in the world, 24hrs, 7 days, any time, any day of the week. Increased levels of customer and transaction privacy, potential tax saving advantages, to be able to transact in different currencies and higher interest payable on savings are additional benefits of ope!
ning an offshore bank account. I
Like I said before, you must have the strong backing and directives of a fiduciary agent who has personal strong connections with reputable offshore banks and who can introduce you, get an account opened for you without fuss, credit checks or personal references.
We have our designated and appointed fiduciary agents who having known the International Financial Services Commission, US Homeland and Security under the US Global PATRIOTIC Act Certification and the UK Treasury Office of Foreign Asset Control regulations Act and we shall designate one of them to you and he shall work with you for a successful release of this payment to you without any re-occurrence of the past experiences you had, BUT it will all depend in your ability to adhere strictly to his advise without much argument.
This fund having been placed in the temporary ONLINE OFFSHORE SECURE BANK ACCOUNT which we have just set up for you, it shall remain in the account until you have set up a proper SECURE ONLINE ACCOUNT and your Automated Transfer Access activated to enable you access your online account, transact on it and transfer funds online to any other nominated bank account of yours anywhere in the world. You as the beneficiary will operate the secure online account yourself and you can make transfers in any amount from your online account to any other account of your choice. That is to say, you can make transfers to your other bank accounts any amount you want but not exceeding the total amount credited into your account. You can also leave funds in your secure online account with us bank, it will be safe and secure.
And if I may suggest, we will prefer to make the transfers in small portions of US$999,000, which will fall below the amount as regulated by the financial regulatory body because any online transfer up to US$1Million will require you to provide clearance documentation evidence on the source of the fund. After the successful completion of this first trial wire transfer, we will initiate the second transfer of same amount and it goes on like that until all sums have been transferred to your final receiving bank account.
With this professional approach, you will not experience any problems with the payment in relation to your past experiences, we noticed that there has always been a HOLD or STOP ORDER of the transfer any time you were to receive this fund, and we noticed that in the event of such happening, you blame it on banks, hence we have to advise you accordingly, because nobody have been able to guide you on the professional approach to large fund transfer under the new international terrorist and money laundering financial laws.
I believe we have guided you accordingly, the choice is yours, revert back to us after reading this message so we can move into action.
Sincerely yours,
For: Offshore Capital Ltd.
