From The Desk of: Mark Allen
Head of Trustee and Depository
Institutional Fund ServiceS.
HSBC Bank Plc 24th Floor
8 Canada Square London E14 5hq.
12TH Of june 2005.
Dear Sir,
Compliment of the season to you. First for confirmation
please view HSBC site address:
http://www.cibm.hsbc.com/hsbc/home/contact-us/europe/united-kingdom?modeĢint
note also that all call to every department are monitored
and because of the nature of the transaction. I am Mr.Mark
Allen, Head of Trustee and Depository Institutional Fund
Services HSBC Bank London,I am contacting you concerning a
deceased customer,and an investment he placed under our
banks management 3years 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 contact you independently 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 2000, the subject matter came to our bank to
engage in business discussions with our Trustee and
Depository Institutional Fund Services division HSBC . He
informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 14.5
million British Pounds Sterling, 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-facto chief operations officer of Trustee
and Depository Institutional Fund Services division HSBC,
especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into
our division. 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 6 million British Pounds
Sterling,this margin was not the full potential of the fund
but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments.
I informed him that HSBC Bank Plc London 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. Large cash movements have become
especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted
my affiliate and had the funds available as he had
requested. I undertook all the processes and made sure I
followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the
funds deposited with a security consultancy firm.This
security firm is an especially 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 them.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 25th February
2004. I was the only one who knew about the deposit at the
security company, and I could not understand why our client
had not come forward to claim his deposit.I made futile
efforts to locate him,and i immediately passed the task of
locating him to the internal investigations department of
HSBC Bank Plc.Four days later, information started to
trickle in, apparently our man 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
confirm all of this including cause of death. 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.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.It is quite clear now that our dear
fellow died with no known or identifiable family members.
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 company will by the end of this year
broadcast a request for statements of claim to HSBC Bank
plc, failing to receive viable claims they will most
probably revert the deposit to HSBC Bank Plc. This will
result in the money entering the HSBC Bank Plc accounting
system . 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 berrational. The
world of Trustee and Depository Institutional Fund Services
division HSBC especially is fraught with huge rewards for
those who sit upon certain chairs and oversee certain
portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together
the general direction of what I propose. There is
14,500,000.00 deposited in a security company.I alone have
the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no
one unless I instruct them to do so. 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; you
share similar details to the late fellow;I am prepared to
instruct the security company 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 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
45/45,while 10% is been maped out incase of any expenses as
we proceed into this MUTUAL transaction. You with the same
very name as the original depositor would easily pass as
the beneficiary with right to claim.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 our late client.I will then officially
communicate with the security company and instruct them to
release the deposit to you.With these two things: all is
done. The alternative would be for us to have the security
company 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 directly from the security
company as it is not a conventional financial institution;
they accept deposits from only organizations thus; what you
hand over to them is what you get back. They do not have
the means to process the money.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. Lets share the blessing.If
you find yourself able to work with me,contact me A.S.A.P.
If you give me positive signals,I will give you the
relevant details and initiate this process towards a
conclusion. Please, again, note I am a family man,I have
wife and children.I send you this mail not without a
measure of fear as to what the onsequences, 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. NOTE: DON`T
CONTACT ME ON DIRECTLY ON MY OFFICE LINE AS WHAT WE ARE
DOING IS CONFIDENTIAL. IF YOU DO I WILL DENY KNOWING YOU.
YOU CAN REACH ME ON MY PRIVATE E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR NOW:

Sincerly,
Mark Allen
