There Is An Important Information On Your Surname
Good Day [Removed - My name] , Thank for your response.-
The reason this email is only coming to you now is because we were reviewing our database to ensure we are actually dealing with the right individual. My name is Mrs. Marietta Connery, I am the Head of Human Resources for Lloyds Banking Group. Please ignore the length of this message and take your time to read this message for your understanding. This is very important. I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer of ours and an investment he placed under our bank's management Nine (9) years ago. At the time I worked with Morgan Turvey. I was the Portfolio Manager and I handled this account personally. 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 independent of our Organization 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 2021, the subject matter, Dr. Evans [Removed - My surname] , who is now deceased, came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of £4,000,000.00 ( Four Million British Pounds ) which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the accounting officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the De-facto chief operations officer of the private investment banking 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.
In mid-2022, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent landed property investment requiring cash payments in SPAIN. And since he will be frequenting in the United Kingdom later that year, he directed that I liquidate the funds and oversee that it is deposited in a security vault in any low-key but formidable private bank in the United Kingdom. I informed him that Morgan Stanley will have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process. I contacted my affiliate in the Ulster Bank of Scotland, England and after due consultations, the funds were made available and transferred to the Ulster Bank of Scotland.
The deceased told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from SPAIN later that week. This was the last communication we had. This transpired around 25th October 2022. In June last year, we got a call from the Ulster Bank of Scotland informing us of the dormant activity of that particular portfolio.
I made efforts to locate the deceased but it was futile. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of our bank. Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently our client had passed away. A person who suited his description was declared dead in Cannes, South of France. We were soon enough able to verify the story as his death certificate and cause of death was confirmed. He died of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, he was aged 54. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin.
The deceased died without a testate. What this means, is that our dear late fellow died with no identifiable family member. And 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 the right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. It is this investigation that resulted in my being furnished with your details as a possible relative of the deceased.
According to practice, the Ulster Bank of Scotland will by the end of this financial year, broadcast a request for statements of claim - failing to receive viable claims they will probably revert the deposit to the United Kingdom Treasury Department and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the hands of Ulster Bank of Scotland. 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.
NOW HERE IS MY PROPOSAL;
You share some similar details with my late client-in this case, a SURNAME. I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct Ulster Bank of Scotland to release the deposit to you as the sole beneficiary. 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 my late client, I will then officially communicate with Ulster Bank of Scotland and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these two things, all is done. The alternative would be for us to have Ulster Bank of Scotland direct the funds to another bank with you as account holder.
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 private email address and my private cell number which I will provide you with in my next email. I do not want any direct link between you and me to raise suspicion. 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 (TQMP). Please observe this instruction religiously. Again note that I am a family woman, I have a husband and 3 children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences are, but I know within me that 'If 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 learnt from my private banking years experience. Do not betray my confidence if we can be of one accord.
Kindly Provide me with some information about yourself.
