Good day,
I am David Bryan, staff of Kleinwort Benson. I am contacting you
concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed under our
banks management three years ago.
I am contacting 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 the year 2003, the
subject matter; came to our bank to engage in business discussions with
our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial
portfolio of Six Million United States dollars, which he wished to have us
turn over (invest) on his behalf.
In mid 2004, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to
make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Helsinki- Finland. He
directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security firm. I
informed him that my Bank would have to make special arrangements to have
this done and in order not to circumvent due process.
Cash movement across boarders has become especially strict since the
incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate and made the funds available
to the security firm. I undertook all the processes and made sure I
followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds
deposited with the security firm. The Security 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 with the security firm.
The deceased 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 of November 2004. In June last year, and
we got a call from the security firm informing us about the inactivity of
that particular portfolio.
I made futile efforts to locate the deceased. I immediately passed the
task of locating him to the internal investigations department of
Kleinwort Benson. 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 Canne, in Southern part of France. We
were soon enough to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed.
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 investigation has for the
past months been unfruitful; we’ve used our private investigation
affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. It is this
investigation that resulted in my being furnished with your details as a
possible relative of the deceased.
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 that 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 Six Million United States dollars deposited in a
security firm, 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 my Bank is concerned.
My proposal: I now seek your permission to present you as a next of kin to
the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked to make you
the beneficiary to the funds $6,000 000 (Six Million United states
Dollar); I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct The security
Firm to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation.
Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the proceeds 60/40.I
would have gone ahead to ask that the funds be released to me, but that
would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the
deposit. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions 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.
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 the numbers
I will provide for you and also through this email address. I do not want
any direct link between you and myself. My official lines are not secured
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.
Do not betray my confidence. Kindly send your response to my private
email: davidbryan11@voila.fr
I await your response.
David Bryan
