Subject: DEAR FRIEND.

Dear Friend,

I am Wright Bunnette, head of international private banking at Barclays. I am
contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he 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 independently 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 2009, the subject matter came to our bank to engage in business discussions
with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial
portfolio of 4.35 million British Pounds Sterling, 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 sector, 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 advise 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 this point at over 6 million British Pounds Sterling, this
margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk
guaranteed returns on investments. In mid 2010, he asked that the money be
liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash
payments.He directed that I liquidate the funds and have it deposited with a
security firm.

I informed him that Barclays 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. Large cash movements
have become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my
affiliate and had the funds available as he had requested. I undertook all the
processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and
had the funds deposited with a security consultancy firm.

This security firm is an especially 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 with them. 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 25th June 2012.
In November last year, we got a call from the security company 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 managed the private banking sector
I was the only one who knew about the deposit at the security company, and I
could not understand why our client had not come forward to claim his deposit.I
made futile efforts to locate him. I immediately passed the task of locating him
to the internal investigations department of Barclays.

Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently our man 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 confirm all of this
including cause of death. 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 even 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;
our now deceased client died in testate.

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. It is quite clear now that our dear fellow died with no known or
identifiable family members. 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 security company will by the end of this year
broadcast a request for statements of claim to Barclays, failing to receive
viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit to Barclays. This will
result in the money entering the Barclays 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 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 sit upon certain
chairs and oversee certain portfolios.

You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I
propose. There is 4,350,000.00 deposited in a security company. 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 Barclays is concerned, the transaction with the late customer concluded
when I sent the funds to the security company all outstanding interactions in
relation to the file are just customer services and due process. The security
company has no single idea of what's the history or nature of the deposit. They
are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that I may
direct. 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 instruct the security company 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 ...You with the same very name as the original
depositor would easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim. I assure
you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will
simply inform the bank o f the final closing of the file relating to our late
client. I will then officially communicate with the security company and
instruct them to release the deposit to you.With these two things: all is done.
The alternative would be for us to have the security company direct the funds to
another bank with you as account holder. This way there will be no need for you
to thin k of receiving the money directly from the security company as it is
not a conventional financial institution; they accept deposits from only
organizations thus; what you hand over to them is what you get back. They do
not have the means to process the money. 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 a tidy sum 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. This
chance 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 find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this email. If you
give me positive signals,I will give you the relevant details and initiate this
process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that you should not 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 this email account 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. I await your
response.

Sincerely,
Wright Bunnette.
