Thanks for your response.

I am Richard Anthony - Senior Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Evercore Private Funds Group.
Do understand that in a bid to explain this modalities of this transaction, I am sending you a very lengthy message which I indulge you to read carefully for better understanding.

I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed with our bank management ten years ago. The content of this communication has to be treated with utmost confidentiality, to avoid unnecessary complications.

I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication, I would like to intimate you about certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.

In 2009, the subject matter, Engineer Daniel came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division.

He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Twenty Five Million Great Britain Pound Sterling, which he instructed us to 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 and discussed about viable investment opportunities.

I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. I invested his funds into trading in Stock Market, Crude Oil and Lending with Profit Returns, as my specialty is to advise customers to invest healthy and yield good profit. 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 out and my client was glad with the returns.

In mid-2010, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent landed property investment requiring cash payments in Spain. He directed that i liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security firm in a private Bank. I informed him that we will 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 security firm.

I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited at the private Bank, (private Bank) a specialist private Bank 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 Bank is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited with a private Bank. The deceased told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from MALTA later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 25th October 2010. In June last year, we got a call from the Bank informing us about 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 private Bank, and I could not understand why my client had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate the Client. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of Bristol & West. Two weeks later, information trickled in, apparently our client was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Cannes, South of France.

As part of our duty, we made effort to identify him, and confirmed the news about his 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 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 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 me 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 Client died with no 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 private Bank will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to Bristol & West, failing to receive viable claims they will probably revert the deposit back to Bristol & West. This will result in the money entering the Bristol & West accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the private Bank division. This will not happen if I have my way. What I wish to relate to you will sound unethical to my 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 portfolio.

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 know of the existence of the deposit and as far as Bristol & West is concerned, the transaction with our late customer concluded when I sent the funds to a private Bank all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process.

The Bank has no single idea about 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. The bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track the deceased Client 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 as the Next of Kin to the Private 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. 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 Private Bank and instruct them to release the deposit to you. The alternative would be for us to have the Private Bank direct the funds to another bank, where you are a beneficiary of the account.

This way there will be no need for you to think of traveling to lay claim to the money from the Private Bank. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. If you find no interest in this project, please 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 if you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this, but people like me 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 fight 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 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 won't 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. Let's 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 my private mobile, 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 (TQM).

Please observe this instruction religiously. Please again, note I am a family man, I have a wife and 3 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.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Antwort.

Ich bin Richard Anthony - Senior Managing Director und Chief Executive Officer der Evercore Private Funds Group.
Verstehen Sie, dass ich Ihnen, um diese Modalitäten dieser Transaktion zu erläutern, eine sehr lange Nachricht sende, die Sie zum besseren Verständnis sorgfältig lesen sollten.

Ich kontaktiere Sie wegen eines verstorbenen Kunden und einer Investition, die er vor zehn Jahren bei unserer Bankleitung getätigt hat. Der Inhalt dieser Mitteilung muss streng vertraulich behandelt werden, um unnötige Komplikationen zu vermeiden.

Ich habe Sie unabhängig von unserer Untersuchung kontaktiert und niemand wird über diese Mitteilung informiert. Ich möchte Sie über bestimmte Fakten informieren, von denen ich glaube, dass sie für Sie von Interesse sind.

Im Jahr 2009 kam das Thema Ingenieur Daniel Varga zu unserer Bank, um geschäftliche Gespräche mit unserer Private-Banking-Abteilung zu führen.

Er teilte uns mit, dass er über ein Finanzportfolio von 25 Millionen Pfund Sterling in Großbritannien verfügte, das er uns anwies, in seinem Namen umzuwandeln (zu investieren). Ich war der für seinen Fall zuständige Beamte. Ich machte zahlreiche Vorschläge im Einklang mit meinen Aufgaben als De-facto-Betriebsleiter des Private-Banking-Sektors, insbesondere angesichts des Volumens der Mittel, die er in unsere Bank stecken wollte. Wir haben uns mehrfach getroffen und über tragfähige Investitionsmöglichkeiten diskutiert.

Ich ermutigte ihn, verschiedene Wachstumsfonds mit erstklassigen Ratings in Betracht zu ziehen. Ich habe seine Mittel in den Handel mit Aktienmärkten, Rohöl und Krediten mit Gewinnrenditen investiert, da meine Spezialität darin besteht, Kunden zu raten, gesund zu investieren und gute Gewinne zu erzielen. Auf meinen Rat hin haben wir das Geld für verschiedene Gelegenheiten gesponnen und attraktive Margen für unsere ersten Betriebsmonate erzielt. Der aufgelaufene Gewinn und die aufgelaufenen Zinsen stachen heraus und mein Kunde war mit der Rendite zufrieden.

Mitte 2010 beantragte er die Liquidation des Geldes, da er dringend eine Investition in Grundstücke tätigen musste, die Barzahlungen in Spanien erforderte. Er wies mich an, die Gelder zu liquidieren und bei einer Sicherheitsfirma bei einer Privatbank zu hinterlegen. Ich teilte ihm mit, dass wir besondere Vorkehrungen treffen müssen, um dies zu erreichen, und um das ordnungsgemäße Verfahren nicht zu umgehen, müsste die Bank einen Abzug von 9,5% von den Mitteln vornehmen, um die Bank- und gesetzlichen Gebühren zu decken. Er beschwerte sich über die Anklage, kam aber später vorbei, als ich ihm die Komplexität der Aufgabe erklärte, die er von uns verlangte. Der grenzüberschreitende Bargeldverkehr ist seit den Vorfällen vom 11. September besonders streng geworden. Ich habe meinen Partner hier in London kontaktiert und die Mittel der Sicherheitsfirma zur Verfügung gestellt.

Ich übernahm alle Prozesse und stellte sicher, dass ich seine genauen Anweisungen genau befolgte und die Gelder bei der Privatbank (Privatbank) hinterlegte, einer spezialisierten Privatbank, die Einlagen von vermögenden Privatpersonen und Blue-Chip-Unternehmen akzeptiert, die mit wertvollen Produkten umgehen oder Transaktionen durchführen, die sofortigen Zugang zu Bargeld benötigen.

Diese kleine und sehr private Bank ist besonders den hochrangigen und gut vernetzten Organisationen bekannt. Gemäß den Anweisungen wurde das Geld bei einer Privatbank hinterlegt. Der Verstorbene sagte mir, er wolle das Geld dort in Erwartung seiner Ankunft von MALTA später in dieser Woche. Dies war die letzte Mitteilung, die wir hatten. Sie fand um den 25. Oktober 2010 statt. Im Juni letzten Jahres erhielten wir einen Anruf von der Bank, der uns über die Aktivitäten dieses bestimmten Portfolios informierte.

Dies war für mich eine erstaunliche Position, da ich den Private-Banking-Sektor leitete und der einzige war, der über die Einlage bei der Privatbank Bescheid wusste, und ich konnte nicht verstehen, warum sich mein Kunde nicht gemeldet hatte seine Kaution einfordern. Ich habe vergeblich versucht, den Kunden zu finden. Ich habe die Aufgabe, ihn zu finden, sofort an die interne Ermittlungsabteilung von Bristol & West übergeben. Zwei Wochen später kamen Informationen herein, anscheinend war unser Kunde tot. Eine Person, die seiner Beschreibung entsprach, wurde in Cannes, Südfrankreich, für tot erklärt.

Im Rahmen unserer Pflicht bemühten wir uns, ihn zu identifizieren, und bestätigten die Nachricht von seinem Tod. Die Bank leitete sofort eine Untersuchung des möglichen Überlebens von Angehörigen ein, um auf die Situation aufmerksam zu machen und sich zu melden, um seinen Nachlass zu beanspruchen. Wenn Sie mit Private-Banking-Angelegenheiten vertraut sind, bevorzugen diejenigen, die unsere Dienste unterstützen, normalerweise die Anonymität, aber auch ein gewisses Maß an Distanz zu herkömmlichen Prozessen. In seinem Bio-Datenformular listete er keine Angehörigen auf.

Im Bereich Private Banking bedeutet die Eröffnung eines Kontos bei uns, dass niemand von seiner Existenz weiß. Konten werden selten unter einem Namen geführt. Einleger verwenden Nummern und Codes, um die Konten anonym zu machen. Diese Bank gibt den Einlegern auch die Möglichkeit, ihre Post an sie zu senden oder bei der Bank selbst aufzubewahren, um sicherzustellen, dass keine Spuren des Kontos vorhanden sind, und wie ich bereits sagte, ernennen sie selten Angehörige. Private-Banking-Kunden, abgesehen davon, dass sie keine Angehörigen nominieren, hinterlassen in den meisten Fällen auch Testamente in unserer Obhut. Der Verstorbene starb ohne Testat.

In Übereinstimmung mit unseren internen Prozessen für verstorbene Kontoinhaber haben wir nach Treu und Glauben eigene Untersuchungen eingeleitet, um festzustellen, wer das Recht haben sollte, den Nachlass zu beanspruchen. Diese Untersuchung war in den letzten Monaten unfruchtbar. Wir haben alle Kontinente gescannt und unsere privaten Ermittlungsunternehmen genutzt, um dem Problem auf den Grund zu gehen. Es ist diese Untersuchung, die dazu geführt hat, dass mir Ihre Daten als möglicher Verwandter des Verstorbenen mitgeteilt wurden. Meine offizielle Kapazität schreibt vor, dass ich die einzige Partei bin, die die Untersuchung überwacht, und die einzige Partei, die die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung erhält. Was dies bedeutet, dass Sie die letzte Gruppe von Namen sind, die wir in Betracht gezogen haben, ist, dass unser lieber verstorbener Kunde ohne oder ein identifizierbares Familienmitglied gestorben ist. Damit bin ich die einzige Person, die ein umfassendes Bild von der aktuellen Situation in Bezug auf die Kaution und den verspäteten Begünstigten der Kaution hat.

Gemäß der Praxis wird die Privatbank bis Ende dieses Geschäftsjahres einen Antrag auf Anspruchserklärungen an Bristol & West senden. Wenn sie keine tragfähigen Ansprüche erhält, wird sie die Einzahlung wahrscheinlich an Bristol & West zurückzahlen. Dies führt dazu, dass das Geld in das Buchhaltungssystem von Bristol & West gelangt und das Portfolio nicht mehr in meiner Hand und nicht mehr im Bereich der Privatbanken liegt. Dies wird nicht passieren, wenn ich meinen Willen habe. Was ich mit Ihnen in Verbindung bringen möchte, wird für meine Praxis unethisch klingen, aber ich möchte, dass Sie etwas verstehen. Es ist nur ein Außenseiter der Bankenwelt, der die Innenpolitik der Bankenwelt für aberrational hält. Insbesondere die Welt des Private Banking ist mit enormen Belohnungen für diejenigen behaftet, die bestimmte Büros besetzen und bestimmte Portfolios überwachen.

Sie sollten inzwischen damit begonnen haben, die allgemeine Richtung meines Vorschlags zusammenzustellen. Ich allein habe die Einzahlungsdetails und sie geben die Einzahlung an niemanden weiter, es sei denn, ich weise sie an, dies zu tun. Ich weiß von der Existenz der Einzahlung und was Bristol & West betrifft, wurde die Transaktion mit unserem verstorbenen Kunden abgeschlossen, als ich das Geld an eine Privatbank schickte. Alle ausstehenden Interaktionen in Bezug auf die Akte sind nur Kundendienstleistungen und ordnungsgemäße Verfahren.

Die Bank hat keine einzige Vorstellung von der Geschichte oder Art der Einlage. Sie warten lediglich auf Anweisungen, um die Anzahlung an eine Partei weiterzugeben, die sich meldet. Das ist die Situation. Die Bank hat viel Geld ausgegeben, um die verstorbene Kundenfamilie aufzuspüren. Sie hat monatelang Nachforschungen angestellt und keine Familie gefunden. Die Untersuchung ist beendet. Mein Vorschlag, Sie teilen ähnliche Details mit dem verstorbenen Kollegen. Ich bin bereit, Sie als Next of Kin bei der Privatbank in die Lage zu versetzen, die Kaution als engste überlebende Beziehung an Sie freizugeben.

Nach Erhalt der Anzahlung bin ich bereit, das Geld in zwei Hälften mit Ihnen zu teilen. Ich werde Sie einfach als nächsten Angehörigen nominieren und sie die Anzahlung an Sie freigeben lassen. Wir teilen den Erlös 50/50. Ich hätte darum gebeten, dass mir die Gelder freigegeben werden, aber das hätte eine klare Linie zu mir und meiner Beteiligung an der Inanspruchnahme der Kaution gezogen. Ich versichere Ihnen, dass ich die Anzahlung innerhalb weniger Tage für Sie freigeben könnte. Ich werde die Bank einfach über das endgültige Schließen der Akte über den Verstorbenen informieren. Ich werde dann offiziell mit der Privatbank kommunizieren und sie anweisen, die Kaution an Sie freizugeben. Die Alternative wäre, dass die Privatbank die Gelder an eine andere Bank weiterleitet, bei der Sie ein Begünstigter des Kontos sind.

Auf diese Weise müssen Sie nicht an Reisen denken, um Anspruch auf das Geld der Privatbank zu erheben. Wir können dies basierend auf unseren Interaktionen optimieren. Ich bin mir der Konsequenzen dieses Vorschlags bewusst. Wenn Sie kein Interesse an diesem Projekt haben, verwerfen Sie diese Mail bitte. Ich bitte Sie, nicht rachsüchtig und destruktiv zu sein. Wenn mein Angebot Sie nicht anspricht, löschen Sie diese Nachricht und vergessen Sie, dass ich Sie jemals kontaktiert habe.

Zerstören Sie meine Karriere nicht, wenn Sie meinem Vorschlag nicht zustimmen. Sie wissen das vielleicht nicht, aber Leute wie ich, die aus vergleichbaren Situationen ordentliche Summen gemacht haben, leiten den gesamten Private-Banking-Sektor. Ich bin kein Verbrecher und was ich tue, ich kämpfe nicht gegen gutes Gewissen, das mag für Sie schwer zu verstehen sein, aber die Dynamik meiner Branche schreibt vor, dass ich diesen Schritt mache. Solche Möglichkeiten gibt es nur einmal im Leben. Ich kann mir diese Chance nicht entgehen lassen, denn einmal habe ich die totale Kontrolle über mein Schicksal. Diese Chancen gehen nicht an mir vorbei. Ich bitte Sie, meine Chance nicht zu zerstören. Wenn Sie nicht mit mir arbeiten, lassen Sie es mich wissen und lassen Sie mich mit meinem Leben weitermachen, aber zerstören Sie mich nicht.

Ich bin ein Familienvater und dies ist eine Gelegenheit, ihnen neue Möglichkeiten zu bieten. Es gibt eine Belohnung für dieses Projekt und es ist eine Aufgabe, die sich lohnt. Ich habe die Risiken bewertet und das einzige Risiko, das ich hier habe, besteht darin, dass Sie sich weigern, mit mir zusammenzuarbeiten, und meine Bank alarmieren. Ich bin der einzige, der von dieser Situation weiß. Das Glück hat Sie mit einem Namen gesegnet, der Sie in den Mittelpunkt meines Lebens gerückt hat. Teilen wir den Segen. Wenn Sie in der Lage sind, mit mir zu arbeiten, kontaktieren Sie mich über dasselbe E-Mail-Konto. Wenn Sie mir positive Signale geben, werde ich diesen Prozess zu einem Abschluss einleiten. Ich möchte Sie darüber informieren, dass Sie mich über offizielle Kanäle kontaktieren sollten. Ich werde bestreiten, Sie und über dieses Projekt zu kennen.

Ich wiederhole, ich möchte nicht, dass Sie mich über meine offiziellen Telefonleitungen kontaktieren, noch möchte ich, dass Sie mich über mein offizielles E-Mail-Konto kontaktieren. Kontaktieren Sie mich nur über mein privates Handy, auch über diese E-Mail-Adresse. Ich möchte keine direkte Verbindung zwischen dir und mir. Meine offiziellen Leitungen sind keine sicheren Leitungen, da sie regelmäßig überwacht werden, um unseren Kundenbetreuungsgrad gemäß unserem Total Quality Management (TQM) zu beurteilen.

Bitte beachten Sie diese Anweisung religiös. Bitte noch einmal, beachten Sie, dass ich ein Familienvater bin, eine Frau und 3 Kinder habe. Ich sende Ihnen diese Mail nicht ohne ein gewisses Maß an Angst vor den Konsequenzen, aber ich weiß in mir, dass nichts Gewagtes nichts Gewonnenes ist und dass Erfolg und Reichtum niemals einfach oder auf einer Goldplatte kommen. Dies ist die einzige Wahrheit, die ich von meinen Private-Banking-Kunden gelernt habe. Verrate mein Vertrauen nicht, wenn wir uns einig sind.

Freundliche Grüße,
Richard Anthony

Thanks for your response.

I am Richard Anthony - Senior Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Evercore's Private Funds Group.

Please ignore the length of this message and take your time to read this message for your understanding. This is very important. I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed under our bank's management Nine (9) 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 2009, the subject matter: Engineer Daniel Gurupira is now deceased, came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Pound (2.5Million Great British Pounds) which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the accounting officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the De-facto chief operations officer of the private investment banking 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.

In mid-2010, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent landed property investment requiring cash payments in Spain. And since he will be frequenting the United Kingdom later that year, he directed that I liquidate the funds and oversee that it is deposited in a security vault in any low-key but formidable private bank in the United Kingdom. I informed him that Bank of England Bank PLC will have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process. I contacted my affiliate in the United Kingdom and after due consultations, the funds was made available and transferred to the CITY GLOBAL FINANCE BANK OF ENGLAND

The deceased told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from South Africa later that week. This was the last communication we had-this transpired around 25th October 2010.In June last year, we got a call from the CITY GLOBAL FINANCE BANK OF ENGLAND informing us of the dormant activity of that particular portfolio.

I made efforts to locate the deceased-but it was futile. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of our bank. Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently our client was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead in Cannes, South of France. We were soon enough able to verify the story; his death certificate and cause of death was confirmed. He died of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, he was aged 54.In his bio-data form, and he listed no next of kin.

The deceased died without a testate. What this means, is that our dear late fellow died with no or identifiable family member. And 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 the right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. It is this investigation that resulted in my being furnished with your details as a possible relative of the deceased.

According to practice, the bank in England will by the end of this financial year, broadcast a request for statements of claim - failing to receive viable claims they will probably revert the deposit to the United Kingdom Treasury Department, and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the hands of CITI GLOBAL FINANCE BANK OF ENGLAND 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.

NOW HERE IS MY PROPOSAL;

You share some similar details with my late client-in this case, a SURNAME.I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct City Global Finance Bank Of England to release the deposit to you as the sole beneficiary. 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 my late client, I will then officially communicate with CITY GLOBAL FINANCE BANK OF ENGLAND and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these two things, all is done. The alternative would be for us to have City Global Finance Bank of England direct the funds to another bank with you as account holder.

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 private email address. I do not want any direct link between you and me to raise suspicion. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to access our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy (TQMP). Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again note that 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 are, 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 years' experience. Do not betray my confidence if we can be of one accord.

Please if you are afraid about this project and would like to discontinue or find it cynical, please destroy this email and continue living your life like I never contacted you,I am a man of integrity and respect, my colleagues hold me in high regard. But if you are interested in this project tell me how you feel and let's do this.

Kind regards,
Richard Anthony

As part of our duty, we made an effort to identify him, and confirmed the news about his death. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert them 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 the 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 Client died with no 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 private Bank will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to Bristol & West, failing to receive viable claims they will probably revert the deposit back to Bristol & West. This will result in the money entering the Bristol & West accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the private Bank division. This will not happen if I have my way. What I wish to relate to you will sound unethical to my 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 know of the existence of the deposit and as far as Bristol & West is concerned, the transaction with our late customer concluded when I sent the funds to a private Bank all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process.

The Bank has no single idea of 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. The bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track the deceased Client 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 as the Next of Kin to the Private 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 Private Bank and instruct them to release the deposit to you. The alternative would be for us to have the Private Bank direct the funds to another bank, where you are a beneficiary of the Account.

This way there will be no need for you to think of traveling to lay claim to the money from the Private Bank. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. If you find no interest in this project, please 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 me 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 fight 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 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 won't 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. Let's 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 you should 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 my private mobile, 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 (TQM).

Please observe this instruction religiously. Please again, note I am a family man, I have a wife and 3 children. I send you this mail not 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 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.

Best Regards,
Richard Anthony
