Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Geoffrey Matthews, staff of International Private Banking at
Bristol & West Bank. I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer
and an investment he placed under our banks management three 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 inform you with certain facts that I believe would be of
interest to you. In 2000, the subject matter came to me by one our
customer to engage in business discussions with our private banking
division. He informed me that he had a financial portfolio of eight
million three hundred and fifty thousand United States dollars
($8,350.000.00), which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his
behalf. I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties.
As the de-facto chief operations officer of this private banking
sector, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our
bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being
Placed. I encouraged him to consider various growths funds with prime
ratings. The favored 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 opportunities. And made attractive margins for our
first months of Operation, the incurred profit and interest stood at
this point at over ten million United States Dollars, this margin was
not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed
returns on investments. In mID: [ID filtered]
liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring
cash payments here in the United Kingdom. He directed that I liquidate
the funds and deposit it with a security firm in Europe.

I informed him that HSBC would have to make special arrangements to
have this done and in order not to circumvent the 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 boarders 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.
Undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise
instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited at the security
Consultancy firm, this is a private individual firm 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 organization
is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected
organizations. Inline with instructions, the money was deposited with
the Security and finance Company. Our Client told me he wanted the
money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that
week.
This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 25th
February 2003. In June last year, we got a call from the Security and
Finance Company informing us that 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 Security Co, and I could not
understand why their had not been a relative of my client that has come
forward to claim the deposit. I made futile efforts to locate the my
client. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal
Investigations department of Bristol & West. Four days later,
information started to trickle in, apparently our client was 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 Identify the
body and 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 of 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 testatement. 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, every
effort was to know avail. that resulted in my being furnished with your
details 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 customer died with no
known 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 Security Co 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 most 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
banking division. 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.

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 Bristol & West is concerned, the
transaction with our late customer concluded when I sent the funds to
the security co, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file
are just customer services and due process. The Security Co 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.
My proposal you share similar details to the late fellow I am prepared
to place you in a position to instruct Security Co 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 70/30.
That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them
release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 70/30.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 some
days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file
relating to the deceased I will then officially communicate with
Security Co and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these
two things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have
Security Co 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 Security Co. We can fine-tune this based on our
interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask
that if you find no interest in this project that you should 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 myself who have made tidy sums out of
comparable situations run the whole private banking sector.

I do not find 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 ones' 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 wont 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.
If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this
same email . 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 ontacting me through my
official email account. Contact me only through the numbers I will
provide for you and also through this email address. Please observe
this instruction favorably. Do not betray my confidence in you.If we
can be of one
accord, we should plan a meeting, soon.

I await your response.

Kind regards,
Geoffrey Matthews
