Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled "Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

Hello
Thank you for giving me your time. Please be patient and read my email to
you I am a staff of Lloyds TSB Group attached in Private Banking Services. I
am contacting you concerning a customer and, an investment placed under our
banks management 3 years ago, I contacted you independently of our
investigation and no one is informed of this communication and I would like
to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to
you.
In 2000, the subject matter; ref: bb/tsb/bank/73 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 8.5 million USD (EIGHT
MILLION FIVEHUNDREDTHOUSAND USD), which he wished to have us turn over 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 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 with an investment finance firm, and made attractive
margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest
stood at this point at over 10 million USD, this margin was not the full
potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on
investments.
In June last year, we got a call from the finance firm 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, and I could not
understand why he 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 our bank. Four days later, information started to trickle in,
that he was apparently 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; he died in
testate.
My proposal;
Being a foreigner and a friend and a business partner to be I am prepared to
place you in a position to instruct the finance firm 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 and no more. T

If you received a similar letter, please ignore it. Do not answer it. If you do, you will end up on more of the mailing lists used by the criminals behind this fraud. Read more....
