Yesterday I recieved this mail twice........

 

 

 

 

Good day,

 

I am a, staff of Private Banking Services at the Bank of China (BOC) United

Kingdom. I am contacting you concerning our customer and, an investment placed

under our 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 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 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 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-factor 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. 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

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 accrued 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

desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments. In mid 2005, he asked that

the money 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 deposited 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 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 in and had the funds available. I

undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions

to the letter and had the funds deposited in a security consultancy firm, the

firm is a specialist private 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. In line with instructions, the money was

deposited . He 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 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 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 , and I could not

understand why he had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile

efforts to locate him I immediately passed the task of locating him to the

internal investigations 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 declared dead of a heart attack in Canne, 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 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; he died intestate.

 

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. The

investigation did not ever yield any result 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. 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

firm will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements

of claim to BOC, failing 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 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 8.370 million

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 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 process. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the

deposit to any party that comes forward. This is the situation. This bank has

spent great amounts of 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 instruction for

the release of 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

customer I will then officially communicate with firm and instruct them to

release 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 Policy.

Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note 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, 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 learned from my private banking clients.

Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, send me your response

to enable us commence this line of discussion.

 

I await your response.

David Xueqing.

To which I replied.............

 

 

 

Hi yes i am interested in helping you.

 

Please tell me more.

are there really people that fall for tthis shit, AT LEAST THEY ARE CHINESE THIS TIME AND NOT FROM aFRICA

This morning I recieved this...........

 

 

 

Dear Friend,

 

Thank you very much for your email response and your enthusiasm to assist me in this project. I have exhaustively considered your response today and I am prompt to inform you of what is needed to be done to actualize this project but firstly I want to inform you that there is need for us to display absolute secrecy on this pending project, hence my firm belief that I can count on your total support and confidentiality. I would proceed without any reservation to bring you into the complete picture of this transaction. Before doing this, I would again like to reiterate the importance of confidentiality, as I am career bankers who is still in active service and would not like my names to be brought to odium or my long tenure in office jeopardized.

In searching for a God fearing and reliable partner for the purpose of this transaction, I have contacted you personally not as a matter of choice but of necessity knowing fully well, the monetary policies as regards funds transfer especially after the event of September 11th in America.

 

I will be fully conscious in the pursuit of this project to make sure that we do not go against any local or international laws of funds transfer. You must understand that I am a family man and presently still serving here in the BOC (UK). What I intend doing is to have your details that is your full name as documented, your telephone and fax numbers to contact you on as regards the transfer, your physical contact address, your age and also any possible identification.

 

With these, I should be able to place together all documentation in your name to prove to the authority that you are truly the next of kin/beneficiary to the estate and I will also have the probate letter signed at the Court here in UK. As soon as all these are done and ratification exercise takes place, which we must surely scale through as I will make a lot of under the table arrangement here, I will place an application of claim in your name for the release of the funds. As soon as we have concluded with this arrangement using an international clearing agent, you will then have to open up a separate bank account in your name and you alone have to be the signatory. This bank wills serve as an intermediary between your bank and the BOC. The aim of the intermediary bank is to receive the funds from the BOC and from there you can have the entire funds transferred bit by bit into any of your chosen bank account in your country. With this arrangement, even if there has to be a loophole in what we have done so far the funds cannot be traced. These special banks, which I will introduce to you, are specialized in this aspect. They assist business men alike who do not want the heavy load of tax to eat into their fund, they also assist government official in taking our funds out of our country without due attention from any authority. You will get to know more about this once we have both accepted to be partners in this venture. This will be your responsibility and I will have to perfect the rest of the arrangement here. The account you have are account from regular banks they cannot serve the purpose here. You will begin to understand and appreciate this idea once we have commenced process on this transaction. It is all going to be a bank-to-bank affair you do not need to worry in as much as you follow my words as religiously as possible.

 

In regards to the above, Setting up an offshore account with the intermediary bank, which I will recommend to you, will definitely attract funds, this means that setting up the offshore account, will definitely require an activation fee of the fresh account. I want you to have this in mind that you would have to make arrangement of coming up with the funds for setting up the account with the intermediary offshore bank when the need arises, I will take care of all other expenses at my end. This includes the cost of preparation of the inheritance documents, cost of transfer of the estate to the receiving bank account, cost of application of our claims and some other minor expenses.

 

I will also like to know more about your biography to further increase my level of trust and confidence in you as I am afraid that anyone can make away with my entire funds once it gets to his/her possession. I want you to please make me believe in you that you will not let me down. I am a gentleman of honor who has this opportunity and will not let it go having worked in this sector for several years. This is my only opportunity and I will not toy with it. I will also assure you that I know what I am doing and to the best of my knowledge, the entire project is legitimate and very risk free in as much as we observe high level of confidentiality and treat this matter accordingly with the two of us sharing ideas and not missing words.

 

If you have further knowledge on how we can go about this matter let us then open the room for discussion and let us deal with this matter totally.

 

WHAT TO SEND NOW...

FULL NAME AS DOCUMENTED

PHYSICAL CONTACT ADDRESS

TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF YOUR PERSON

A SCANNED COPY OF ANY FORM OF INTERNATIONAL IDENTIFICATION, EITHER YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE OR INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT.

 

Upon receipt of your details and biography, I will commence the preparation of the paper works and also I will furnish you with more information on the offshore bank. I will also give you details on myself for your reference.

I await your response.

Best regards,

 

David
