Dear
Let me formally introduce myself to you.
I am Mr. Ben Covey, Head of Private Banking Division, Santander Bank UK, with branch service address. 2 Triton Square, Regent's Place. London, United Kingdom.
I am responsible for the direction and growth of the private banking division of the Santander Bank UK.
With over 20 years experience in the UK wealth management industry, I was a Divisional Manager for South West and Central at Santander Private Banking, where I oversaw the development and implementation of the Private Bank’s strategy across the region, as well as the shaping of its brand and culture.
Prior to joining Santander, I spent over a decade at Barclays Wealth supporting private clients, charities and pension funds.
My roles included Discretionary Portfolio Management, Private Banking and Regional Head in the South East, where I gained strong experience working across a range of investment products and banking services.
I am contacting you concerning the sum of £15,500,000.00 (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling). in my Bank branch lying unclaimed belonging to a late National of your country.
In June 2014. A customer whom was an Expatriate a National of your Country, whom was resident in Madrid Spain, came to our branch here in London for business discussions and Investment Plans, as the Head of Customer Interactions at Santander UK and the officer in charge assigned to his Investment as at then I encouraged him to consider various growths of funds with prime ratings. Then he invested £14,500,000.00 (Fourteen Million Five Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling only). Based on my advice, we were able to spin the initial deposit with profit and interest to £15,500,000.00 (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling). After a few months on the course of customer and Bank relationship my bank (Santander Bank, UK Plc.) sent several notices to him, and his forwarding address because he did not nominate his next of KIN and no response came from him.
After a series of investigations, I got information from his Lawyer in Madrid Spain that he had died with his family in a Car crash that occurred along Madrid ExpressWay. As it stands in this case our now deceased client died intestate even unknown to his Lawyer in Madrid Spain about these particular funds with our Bank which I have just revealed to him about these funds and we have agreed to work together on the possible means of retrieving the funds from the bank.
It is quite clear now that our dear client died with no known or identifiable family member. According to practice, the Private banking sector will by the end of this year broadcast a request for statement of claim to Santander Bank,UK Plc. and failing to receive viable claims they will probably return the deposit to the Management of Santander Bank, UK Plc. This will result in the money entering the Santander Bank accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my site and out of the private banking division. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of Nine {9} years the funds will revert to the ownership of the United Kingdom Government if nobody or someone with the same surname or a National of the same country lays claims as relative to our deceased customer.
Now, I and the Lawyer in Madrid, Spain are prepared to give the necessary details and to recommend you as the closest surviving relation of our deceased customer, that is if you are willing to grab this opportunity.
I know you will be wondering how I got your contact, in my desire for a foreign partner with whom to do this transaction I stumbled on your contact from the Email Directory of your country. I am also proposing that after a successful execution of the business deal, the funds will be shared in the ratio 40/60. You will get 40% and I will be entitled to 60% as the initiators of the deal. You know that I must have done my homework already before contacting you.
Although the project is capital intensive to get the Lawyer working for us it will take me a huge sum of Money, but I know I will be able to pull it through following proper banking and legal channels with the Lawyer assistance and at your end. I will tidy up the legal aspect with the assistance of the lawyer who will prepare all the documents that will be needed to transfer the money from the United Kingdom to your country or any account of your choice. Once more, I ask that if you find no interest in this deal that you should discard this mail and forget I ever contacted you, I ask that you not be vindictive and destructive, and do not destroy my career.
An opportunity like this only comes once in a lifetime. I am a family man and this is an opportunity for me to give my family the best in life for the years I have spent in the labor market. I would like you to think about this and let me know of your decision. If you give me a positive response, I will give you the relevant information for the successful execution of this transaction and we both will enjoy it in peace.
To confirm your willingness to participate in this offer of opportunity of a life kindly provide me with full details about your humble self.
I await your swift response.
Best Regards,
Mr. Ben Covey.
