Subject: Legal Claim



Hello,
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 utilize 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 calendar 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 were fruitless.
Further investigation of the said account revealed that the death occurred
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
the 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 expense. 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: (Bchael77@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: Bchael77@sify.com
Thanks and regards.
Michael Baungartner.
Director, Investment Banking.
