Attention,
Thank you for giving me your time, it is of great importance for you to take care and understand
every word which I have written down below; please be patient and read the explanation in my email.
I am a staff of Lloyds TSB Group Plc. here in Hong Kong attached in Private Banking Services, I am
contacting you concerning a customer and an investment placed under our banks management; as a
matter of fact it was 3 years ago. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this
mail private and also to kindly respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of
this email. 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 2000, the subject matter; Ref: FI/TSB/958/042/0500 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 14.37 million United States Dollars, 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 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, and however 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 200 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, t
he accrued profit with interest i
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 gather more information and the 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
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 for several months were futile. 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 decision to obtain your contact details and contact you, being as a foreigner or
rather non-Asian, as a potential benefactor of the estate even if you are in no way affiliated with
this individual (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,
with you being a foreigner, I have considered the fact 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
prevailin
g situation is in relation to the
What I wish to relate to you might be a 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. There is USD$ 13,991,674(Thirteen million,
nine hundred and ninety one thousand, six hundred and seventy four united states dollars)
deposited, 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 finance firm is concerned, the
transaction with our deceased customer concluded when I sent the funds to the firm, all outstanding
interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process. The finance firm
has no single idea of what's the history or nature of the deposit, they are simply awaiting
instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes forward, and this is the situation.
This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track the family of the deceased; they have
investigated for months and have found no family but however the investigation has officially come
to an end.
My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position whereby an instruction is given to the
finance firm to officially release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation/associate,
and all etiquette shall be done in accordance with the rule of law, I certainly can guarantee you
that. By the common law, the power of bequeathing is coeval with the first rudiments of the law,
and this power has been extended to all a man's Personal and Real estate (Personalty & Realty).
There is no ruling which prevents an inheritance from being so exhausted by legacies as to render
it unworthy of the heir's acceptance; basically all persons of sound mind are competent to bequeath
and devise real and personal estate, excepting infants, with all this I would say we have the clear
advantage to carry out a smooth and perfect operation whereby the paper work shall be coordinated
in such a way that your status as a sole beneficiary is confirmed. Upon receipt of the deposit, I
am prepared t
o share the money with you in hal
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, but on the other hand, you as a indifferent
foreigner would easily pass as the beneficiary with the rights to claim, I assure you that I could
have the deposit released to you in a few days. I will simply inform our bank of the final closing
of the file relating to the customer, I will then officially communicate with the finance company
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 firm 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 firm. We
can fine-tune this based on our interactions, I am aware of the consequences of this proposal and I
ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask also,
that you do not be
vindictive or destructive, if my
If you find yourself interested to work with me, please contact me specifically, through this email
account qinwanguyi@yahoo.com.hk if you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process
towards a quick conclusion. It is necessary to inform you that under no condition should you
contact me via official channels; I will simply deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat,
I do not want you contacting me through our official lines neither do I want you contacting me
through my official email account. Contact me only through this email address above; 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 happily
married with kids, I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences
might be, but I know
within me that nothing ventured
I await your response.
Yours Sincerely,
Qin
