Dear
Friend,
Good fortune has blessed you with a name that
has
planted you into the center of relevance in
my life. I would respectfully
request that you
keep the content of this mail confidencial
because of
its nature and respect the integrity
of this information. First of all
I'll like to
introduce myself and status, I am Thomas
Williams, Staff
of International Private Banking
at HSBC Bank London. I am contacting you
concerning a deceased customer and a financial
portfolio of $8.5m
United state dollars, which he
placed under HSBC Bank managements two
years ago for turn over on his behalf.
As the Chief Operations
Officer of the private
banking sector, I encouraged the deceased on
his arrival to our bank on various growth of fund
with prime
ratings.The favoured route in my
advice to him was accessing datas on 6000
traditional stocks and bond
managements.Based on my advise, attractive
margins,acquired profit and interest stood at
over $10m United state
dollars,this margin was
not the full potential of the fund but he desired
low risk guaranteed returns on investment. Early
2004 my client asked
that the money be
liquidated because of an urgent investment
requiring
cash payments here in United
Kingdom, and that the liquidated fund be
deposited in CORPORATE SECURITIES CO, a
security consulting firm based
in London who
are specialist private firm that accepts deposits
from
high net worth individuals and blue chip
corporations that handle valuable
products and
undertake transactions that need immediate
access to
cash. This order was given to me in
anticipation of his a rival from
Norway later that
week, this was the last communication we had.
Sometimes this year I got a call from
CORPORATE SECURITIES CO.
informing me of
the inactivity of the portfolio, since I was the
only
one who knew about the deposit, I
immediatly passed the task of locating
my
client to the Internal Investigation Department
of HSBC, which now
revealed that the person
who suited his description was decleared dead
of a Heart attack in Canne, South of France.
And in line with banking
internal processes for
account holders who have passed away, an
investigation was meant to be launched to
contact a possible surviving
NEXT OF KIN to
come forward as beneficiary of the fund but
unfortunatly when my client came patronizing
our services, in his
bio-data form, no next of
kin was listed neither was there a TESTATE. My
client only used numbers and codes to make
the account he opened with
us anonymous. At
this juncture, i'll like to unravel the true position
of this transaction, CORPORATE SECURITIES
CO,has request for
statements of claim from
me, and I alone knows of the existence of the
deposit, for as far as HSBC Bank is concerned
the transaction with our
late client concluded
when I sent the fund to the security firm, all
outstanding interactions in relation to the file
are just customer
service and due process. The
security firm has no single idea of what the
history or nature of the deposit is, they await
instructions to
release the deposit to any party
that I nominate as the beneficiary of the
fund.
I am prepared to place you in a position to
instruct
Corporate Securities Co. to release the
deposit to you as the NEXT OF KIN.
Kindly let
me know your true interest in this pending
transaction so
as to ascertain the proceeds, and
I assure you that I could have the
deposit
released to you within few days. I implore you
to discard this
mail if you find no interest in this
transaction, and if my offer is of no
appeal to
you, please dont be vindictive and destructive
just
delete this message and forget I ever
contacted you.
Finally, I
am sending you this mail 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 comes in 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.
Thomas Williams.
