Hello

I am Mr.Curtis Douglas Gerald, i work with Direct Financial Services (UK) LTD, United Kingdom. I contacted you in respect of an investment placed under our management 9 years ago by late Leonard Rodriguez Antonio.I contact you independently of our investigation and emphasis the reason 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; Leonard came to us to engage in business discussions. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of forty nine million Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand 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 global head of the Offshore banking sector, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our management. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings.

In Line with instructions, the money was deposited with Persell Ewart & Co. Financial Management. Leonard 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 27th September 2005. In June last year, we got a call from
Persell Ewart & Co. Financial Management informing us of the inactivity of that particular portfolio. This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I was still in the Direct Financial Offshore sector I'm the only one other than Tony Dupan who himself is on a year's leave of absence and is now a visiting lecturer at the London School Of Economics as we both served on the sub-committee on Mr.Leonard's portfolio initially who knew about the deposit at
Persell Ewart & Co. Financial Management, and I could not understand why Leonard had not come forward to claim his deposit.

I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of Direct Financial Services (UK) LTD. Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently Leonard was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Cannes, South of France. We were soon enough able to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed. Direct Financial Services (UK) LTD 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 Offshore 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.

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 my department supervises the eventual outcome of the investigation. You had unfortunately declared that you are in no way affiliated with this individual. What this means, you being the last batch of names we had considered, is that our dear late fellow died with no known or identifiable family member. This leaves you 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.

There is US$ 49,550,000.00(forty nine million Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States dollars) available to be released to the next of kin. My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct them to release the deposit to you as the next of kin. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you as the beneficiary that is: You will get 30% of US$ 49,550,000.00 while I take 70%. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days not later than 10 business days.

Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting soon.

Awaiting your good response.

Sincerely,

Curtis Douglass Gerald.
