Subject: HSBC LONDON
I am Mitchel Evra, British citizen and Principal assurance manager for the
HSBC in London. A staff of Yokozona consultancy firm got in touch with me,
regarding the estate of Simeon Arag. And an investment placed under our bank
management some year's back. 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 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 1997, the subject matter; Simeon
Arag came to our bank and engage in
business discussions with our private banking division.
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-facto chief operations officer, and 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 1998, he
asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to
make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in United Kingdom. He
directed that I liquidate the funds and had it deposited with United Assets
Management and securities UK (in their Securities Trading Firm).
I informed him that HSBC 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.
Cash movement across boarders has become especially strict since the
incidents of 9/11.
I contacted my affiliate in United Kingdom and had the funds available in
United Assets Management and securities. I undertook all the processes and
made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the
funds deposited at United Assets Management London UK. United Assets
Management and securities UK is a specialist bank 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.
In Line with instructions, the money was deposited with United Assets
Management Uk (in their Securities Trading Firm). Simeon Arag told me he
wanted the money there as soon as he got into the United Kingdom; this was
the last communication we had, this transpired around 25th February 1999. In
Sept last year, we got a call from United Assets Management Uk informing us
about the inactivity of that particular portfolio.
This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned. Given the fact
that I managed the International private banking sector I was the only one
who knew about the deposit at United Assets Management Uk and I could not
understand why Simeon Arag had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made
futile efforts to locate Simeon Arag. Four days later, information started
to trickle in, apparently Simeon Arag was dead. A person who his
description was declared dead of AUTO ACCIDENT TRAUMA in Birmingham England.
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.
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; Simeon Arag died in testate.
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. It is
this investigation that resulted in my being furnished with your details as
a possible relative of the deceased.
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. You have unfortunately declared, and I know that you are in
no way affiliated with this individual.
What this means, you being the last batch of names we have considered is
that our dear late fellow died with no known or identifiable family member.
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, United Assets Management Uk will by
the end of this quarter broadcast a request for statements of claim to HSBC
in London, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert
the deposit back to HSBC in London.
This will result in the money entering the HSBC in London accounting system
and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the private banking
division. This will not happen if I have my way. What I wish to relate to
you will smack off 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 US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited in United Assets Management Uk, 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 United Assets
Management Uk is concerned, the transaction with Simeon Arag concluded when
I sent the funds to United Assets Management Uk, all outstanding
interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due
process.
United Assets Management Uk has no single idea of the history or nature of
the deposit. 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 manвs 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 as the next of kin in a proposal to
instruct United Assets Management Uk 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 ask them released 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 in 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
Simeon Arag I will then officially communicate with United Assets Management
Uk and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these: all is
done.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 me 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 wonвt 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.
Letвs share the blessing. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate
this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you
ontact 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 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 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, we should plan a meeting, soon.
I await your response.
Respectfully,
Mitchel Evra
N/B: Please you are advice onward to get in touch with me through my private
e-mail channel for more details at (mitchelevra@gmail.com)
Thanks.
