I am David Lambert,British citizen and Principal assurance manager for  
the HSBC in London. A staff of Yokozona consultancy firm got in touch  
with me regarding the estate of Philip Smith. And an investment placed 
under our banks management 3 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  
contact you independent 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 1997,the subject matter;Philip Smith came to  
our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking  
division.He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 48.35  
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, 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 within  
few months of operation,the accrued profit and interest stood at this  
point at over 51 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 1998, he asked that the money be liquidated  
because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments  
in United Kingdom.He directed that I liquidate the funds and had it  
deposited with United Assets Management UK (in their Securities Trading  
Firm).I informed him that HSBC London would have to make special  
arrangements to have this 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.I contacted my affiliate in United Kingdom and  
had the funds made available to United Assets Management. 
 
We undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise  
instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited at United Assets  
Management UK United Kingdom.United Assets Management UK is a specialist  
bank 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.In Line with instructions,the money  
was deposited with United Assets Management UK (in their Securities  
Trading Firm).  
 
Philip Smith told me he wanted the money there as soon as he got into the  
United Kingdom,this was the last communication we had, this transpired  
around 25th February 1999.In Sept last year, we got a call from United  
Assets Management UK informing us about the inactivity of that particular  
portfolio.This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned,given  
the fact that I managed the international private banking sector I was  
the only one who knew about the deposit at United Assets Management UK, 
and I could not understand why Philip Smith had not come forward to claim  
his deposit.I made futile efforts to locate Philip Smith.Four days later, 
information started to trickle in,apparently Philip Smith was dead.A  
person who suited his description was declared dead of AUTO ACCIDENT  
TRAUMA in Birmingham England.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.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; Philip Smith 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.It is this investigation that resulted in my being furnished with  
your details as a possible relative of the deceased.My official capacity  
dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the  
only party to receive the results of the investigation.You have  
unfortunately declared,and I know that you are in no way affiliated with  
this individual.What this means,you being the last batch of names we have  
considered is that our dear late fellow died with no known or identifiable  
family member.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, United Assets Management UK will by the end of  
this quarter broadcast a request for statements of claim to HSBC in  
London,failing  to receive viable claims they will most probably revert  
the deposit back to HSBC in London.This will result in the money entering  
the HSBC in London accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my  
hands and out of the private banking division.This will not happen if I  
have my way. What I wish to relate to you will smack off 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$ 48,370,000.00 deposited in United Assets Management  
UK,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 United Assets  
Management UK is concerned,the transaction with Philip Smith concluded when  
I sent the funds to United Assets Management UK,all outstanding interactions  
in relation to the file are just customer services and due process.United  
Assets Management UK has no single idea of the history or nature of the  
deposit. 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 as the next of kin in a position to  
instruct United Assets Management UK to release 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 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  
Philip Smith I will then officially communicate with United Assets  
Management UK and instruct them to release the deposit to you.With these, 
all is done.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 opportunitiesonly come 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 wont 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. Lets share the blessing. 
 
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 the  
numbers I will provide you with and also through this email address;  
lambiedavid01@excite.co.uk 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 are,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, we should plan a meeting,soon.  
 
I await your response.  
 
Respectfully,  
 
 
David Lambert
