Greg WrightTreasurer and Head of Global Markets/ Deputy Business EditorThe Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited
Thank you for giving me your time. Please be patient and read my email toyou.I am a staff of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited. Iam contacting you concerning a customer and an investment placed under ourBank's management 4 years ago, I contacted you independently of ourinvestigation and no one is informed of this communication and I wouldlike to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be ofinterest to you.In 2005, the subject matter; Ref: HSBC/HSC/74 came to our Bank to engagein business discussion with our Private Banking Service Department. Heinformed us that he had a financial portfolio of USD$48,350,000.00 whichhe wished to have us turn over on his behalf. I was the officer assignedto his case; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as ChiefOperations Officer at that particular period, especially given the volumeof funds he wished to put into our Bank. We met on numerous occasionsprior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to considervarious growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice tocustomers is to start by assessing data on 600 traditional stocks and bondmanagers and alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun themoney around various opportunities and made attractive margins for ourfirst month of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at thispoint at over 10 million United States Dollars, this margin was not thefull potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns oninvestments. In late 2006, he asked that the money be liquidated becausehe 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 inEurope. I informed him that our Bank would have to make specialarrangements 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 forBanking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but latercame around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he wasasking of us. Cash movement across borders has become especially strictsince the incidents of 9/11.I contacted my affiliate in Europe and had the funds available in mainland Europe. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed hisprecise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited in asecurity consultancy firm, the firm is a specialist private firm thataccepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chipcorporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions thatneed immediate access to cash. This small and highly private organizationis familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connectedorganizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited. He toldme he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norwaylater that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpiredaround 25th February 2007. In June last year, we got a call from thesecurity firm informing us of the inactivity of that particular portfolio.This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the factthat I managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knewabout the deposit, and I could not understand why he had not come forwardto claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate him I immediatelypassed the task of locating him to the internal investigations departmentof our Bank. Four days later, information started to trickle in, that hewas apparently deadA person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack inCannes, South of France. We were soon enough able to identify the body andcause of death was confirmed.The Bank immediately launched an investigation into possible survivingnext of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claimhis estate. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those whopatronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels ofdetachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed nonext of kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account with usmeans no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under aname; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous.This Bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sentto them or held at the Bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces ofthe account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Privatebanking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in mostcases leave wills in our care, in this case; he died in testate.What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I wantyou to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking worldwho finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. Theworld of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for thosewho occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You should havebegun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose.There is USD$48,350,000.00 deposited, I alone have the deposit details andthey will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. Ialone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as the financefirm, the transaction with our deceased customer concluded when I sent thefunds to the firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to the fileare just customer services and due process. The finance firm has no singleidea of what's the history or nature of the deposit. They are simplyawaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comesforward. This is the situation. This Bank has spent great amounts of moneytrying to track this man's family; they have investigated for months andhave found no family. The investigation has come to an end.My proposal;I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct the finance firm torelease the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receiptof the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half and nomore. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have themrelease the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50. I would have goneahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn astraight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. But on theother hand, you as a foreigner and also with all the necessary legal andofficial documentations from me and the presiding attorney and also withthe authority vested upon me by the original depositor, you would easilypass as the beneficiary with the rights to claim. I assure you that Icould have the deposit released to you in a few days. I will simply informour bank of the final closing of the file relating to the customer. I willthen officially communicate with the finance company and instruct them torelease the deposit to you.With these two things: all is done. The alternative would be for us tohave the 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 moneyfrom the firm. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions. I am awareof the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interestin this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do notbe vindictive or destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, deletethis message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my careerbecause you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this butpeople like me who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations runthe whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do; I donot find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand,but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Suchopportunities only come once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance passme by I hope you understand because for once I found myself in totalcontrol and face to face with 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 letme know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am amarried Man with 2 kids and this is an opportunity to provide them withnew opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a taskwell worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk Ihave here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I amthe only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed youwith 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 emailaccount. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this processtowards a conclusion.Please observe this instruction religiously. Please note again, I am ahappily married with two kids. I send you this mail not without a measureof fear as to what the consequences might be, but I know within me thatnothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never comeeasy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from myprivate banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of oneaccord, we should plan a meeting, soon.I await your response.
Sincerely,
Greg Wright
