INFORM ME ASAP-----Original Message----- From: miller@server5.millersmiles.co.uk [mailto:miller@server5.millersmiles.co.uk] On Behalf Of ***Millersmiles*** report 14:30:19 Sent: 14 October 2007 14:30 To: undisclosed-recipients@millersmiles Subject: INFORM ME ASAP Good day, I am a, staff of Private Banking Services at the Bank of China (BOC). I a= m contacting you concerning our customer and, an investment placed under ou= r banks management 4 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 a= nd 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 2003, the subject matter; ref: bb/boc/bank/0012 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 8.35 million United Stat= es 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 li= ne 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 pu= t into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being pla= ced. I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The f= avored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportu= nities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrue= d profit and interest stood at this point at over 10 million United States Dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desire= d low risk guaranteed returns on investments. In mid 2005, he asked that the mo= ney be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Europe. He directed that I liquidate the funds and had it dep= osited with a firm. I informed him that the bank would 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 ban= king and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came aro= und 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 in and had the funds available. I underto= ok all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the le= tter and had the funds deposited in a security consultancy firm, the firm is = a specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individ= uals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly pr= ivate organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connect= ed organizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited . He t= old me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway late= r that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 9th October, 2005. In January this year, we got a call from the security firm informing us = that the inactivity of that particular portfolio. This was an astounding posit= ion 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 understan= d why he had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to lo= cate him I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investi= gations department of the bank of china. Four days later, information started to = trickle in, apparently he was dead. A person who suited his description was decla= red dead of a heart attack in Canne, South of France. We were soon enough abl= e to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert ab= out the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are famili= ar 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 bank= ing, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accou= nts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the ac= counts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their = sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no trace= s of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private b= anking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases = leave wills in our care, in this case; he died intestate. In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed a= way, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should h= ave right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months bee= n unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investig= ation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. The investigation = did not ever yield any result My official capacity dictates that I am the only pa= rty to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the results of = the investigation. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture o= f what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late benef= iciary of the deposit. According to practice, the firm will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to BOC, failin= g to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit back to = BOC. This will result in the money entering the BOC accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the Private Banking Services Department. 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 fin= ds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy cert= ain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to p= ut together the general direction of what I propose. There is US$ 8,370,000.= 00 deposited , I alone have the deposit details and they will release the de= posit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence = of this deposit for as far as BOC 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 p= rocess. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any part= y that comes forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent great amounts o= f money trying to track this man\'s family; they have investigated for months and = have found no family. The investigation has come to an end. My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to give instructio= n for the release of the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upo= n 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 t= he deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50. I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that woul= d 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 wi= ll simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to the c= ustomer I will then officially communicate with firm and instruct them to rele= ase the deposit to you. With these two things: all is done. The alternative would= be for us to have firm direct the funds to another bank with you as account hold= er. This way there will be no need for you to think of receiving the money fr= om the firm. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find n= o interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that yo= u do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, de= lete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career be= cause you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like = myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole privat= e banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against = good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of m= y industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come one= s\' way 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 tha= t you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and le= t 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 ris= ks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerti= ng my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has ble= ssed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my l= ife. Let\'s share the blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same e= account. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process to= wards 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 = this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and me. My offic= ial lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess o= ur level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. = Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family m= an; I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of f= ear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is n= othing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gol= d. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not b= etray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, send me your response to enabl= e us commence this line of discussion. I await your response. Wang Yan. |
