Subject: Greetings To You 
 
Hello, 
 
I am Siti Ghazali,a staff of Private Banking Services at the 
CIMB Bank (Malaysia). I am contacting you concerning our 
customer and, an investment placed under our bank's management 5 years ago. 
 
I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of 
this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information 
you come by as a result of this mail. I contacted you independently of our 
investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like 
to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to 
you. 
 
In 2004, the subject matter; ref: bb/Malaysia/bank/0012 came to 
our bank toengage in business discussions with our Private Banking 
Services Department. He informed us that he had a financial 
portfolio of 8.35 million United States Dollars, which he wished to have 
us turn over(invest) on his behalf. 
 
I was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous 
suggestions 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 6000 traditional stocks and 
bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments. Based on my 
advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive 
margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest 
stood at thispoint at over 10 million United States Dollars, this 
margin was not the 
full potential of the fund but he desired low risk 
guaranteed returns on investments. In mid 2005, he asked that the money be 
liquidated because he 
needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash paymentsin Europe. He 
directed that I liquidate the funds and had it deposited 
with a firm. 
 
I informed him that the bank would have to make special 
arrangements to havethis done and in order not to circumvent due process, the 
bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for 
banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later 
came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was 
asking of us.Cash movement across borders has become especially strict 
since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate in and had the 
funds available. I undertook all the processes and made sure I 
followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds 
deposited in a security consultancy firm, the firm is a specialist 
private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue 
chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake 
transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly 
private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and 
well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was 
deposited . 
 
He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his 
arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we 
had, this transpired around 9th October, 2005. 
 
In January last year, we got a call from the security firm 
informing us that the inactivity of that particular portfolio. This was 
an astoundingposition as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I 
managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the 
deposit , and I could not understand why he had not come forward to claim 
his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate him I immediately passed the 
task oflocating him to the internal investigations department of 
the CIMB Bank. Four days later, information started to trickle in, 
apparently he was dead. A person who suited his description was declared 
dead of a heart attack in Canne, South of France. We were soon enough able 
to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed. The bank immediately 
launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert 
about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If 
you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize 
our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of 
detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no 
next of kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account with us 
means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a 
name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. 
This 
bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them 
or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the 
account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking 
clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases 
leave wills in our care, in this case; he died intestate. 
 
In line with our internal processes for account holders who 
have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to 
determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation 
has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and 
used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the 
root of the problem. The investigation did not ever yield any result My 
official capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the 
investigation and the only party to receive the results of theinvestigation. 
 
This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what 
the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late 
beneficiary of the deposit. According to practice, the firm will by the 
end of this financial Year broadcast a request for statements of claim to 
CIMB Bank(Malaysia), 
failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the 
deposit back to CIMB Bank(Malaysia). This will result in the money 
entering the CIMB Bank 
accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the 
Private Banking Services Department. This will not happen if I have my way. 
 
What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical 
practice but I want you to understand something. 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. 
You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what 
I propose. There is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited , I alone have the 
deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct 
them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as 
CIMB Bank is concerned, the transaction with our deceased customer 
concluded when I sent the funds to the firm, all outstanding interactions in 
relation to the file are just customer services and due process. They 
are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party 
that comes forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent great 
amounts of money trying to track this man's family; they have 
investigated for months and have found no family. The investigation has 
come to an end. 
 
My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to 
give instruction for the release of the deposit to you as the closest 
Surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the 
money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of 
kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50. 
 
I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would 
have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the 
deposit. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within 
a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file 
relating to the customer I will then officially communicate with firm 
and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these two things: 
all is done. The alternative would be for us to have firm 
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 firm. We 
can fine-tune this based on our interactions. 
 
I 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. Do not 
destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not 
know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of 
comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. 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, for once I find myself in 
total control of my destiny. These chances won't pass me by. I ask that you 
do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me 
move on with my life but do not destroy me. 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 risks 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, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you 
into the center of relevance in my life. Let's share the blessing. 
 
If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me 
through this same Email 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 
email account. Contact me only through through this email address. I do 
not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not 
secure lines 
as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care 
in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please observe this 
instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man; I have 
a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of 
fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing 
ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or 
on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private 
banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one 
accord,send me your response on this email (sitighazali23@live.co.uk) 
immediately on my private email address to enable us 
commence this line of discussion. 
 
I await your response. 
 
Siti Ghazali.
