Good day, 
 
I know this is an unconventional way of introducing a big and profitable 
business deal, 
but I however want you to take your time to read my letter carefully, you will 
understand 
the necessity for my action. I got your e mail address from the Ministry of 
Commerce 
 
Directory 
 
 
My name is Joseph K.Tano , staff of Private Bank here in the UK. I am 
contacting you concerning a  deceased customer and an investment he 
placed under our banks management eight  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 
came to our  bank to engage in business discussions with our  private 
banking division. He informed us that he  had a financial portfolio of 
five Million Three  Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States  Dollars 
($5,350,000.00 USD), 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 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 this point at over Ten  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 2006, he asked that the money be  liquidated because he needed to 
make an  urgent investment requiring cash payments in  here in the United 
Kingdom. He directed that I  liquidate the funds and deposit it with a 
security  firm here in London. I informed him that the  bank  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.  Cash movement across 
borders has become  especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I 
contacted my affiliate here in London and made  the funds available to the 
bank. I undertook all  the processes and made sure I followed his  precise 
instructions to the letter and had the  funds deposited at the London 
based Bank ,  this bank 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 with the Bank,  The 
deceased 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 2006. In June last year, we  got a 
call from the Bank informing us that the  activity 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 Bank, and I could not  understand 
why the deceased ha d not come  forward to claim his deposit. I made 
futile  efforts to locate the deceased. I immediately  passed the task of 
locating him to the internal  investigations department of the Bank. Four 
days later, information started to trickle in,  apparently our client 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. 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; the 
deceased died without a testament .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. 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, The Bank will by the end  of this financial year 
2013  broadcast a request for statements of  claim 
to the  Bank. failing to receive viable claims they will most  probably 
revert the deposit back to the Bank. This will result in the money 
entering the Bank  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 occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios.  You 
should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I 
propose. 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 the Bank is concerned, the transaction with our late 
customer concluded 
when I sent the funds to the bank, all outstanding interactions in 
relation to the file are just customer services and due process. The Bank 
has no single idea of what 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 mans family; they have investigated for months and have found 
no family. The investigation has come to an end. My proposal; you share 
similar details to the late fellow; I am prepared to place you in a 
position to instruct the bank 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 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 deceased I will then officially communicate with the Bank 
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 Bank 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 Bank. 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 wonât pass me by. I ask that you do not 
destroy my chances, 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 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 the numbers 
I will provide for  you and also 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 learnt from my 
private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one 
accord, we should plan a meeting, soon.
