Western Associate Bank.
Boulevard General Jacques 2673 G,
1050 Brussels, Belgium.
My name is Rev Bannister Carlos , I am from the Republic of Mauritius.
I live and work in the UK. I work with Western Associates Bank at their
offshore department in London UK. I will be pleased to work this deal
out with you if you have a corporate or personal Bank Account and if
you are capable of keeping this a TOP SECRET and handle a huge amount
of funds with legal back up documents.
During one of our periodic audits last month I discovered dormant
accounts with holding balances of Three hundred and Twenty million US
Dollars, Sometimes a person will open a bank account, deposit money,
and then disappear into the tin air. Banks are not always able to find
out what has become of these silent customers, or to know whether they
should follow up on requests from people who claim to be heirs to the
accounts. The main problem is that the customer resides abroad and, due
to bank secrecy, the bank cannot publish notices in the international
press to locate the depositories. This has led the majority of Swiss
banks to refrain from opening small-deposit accounts for foreign
customers.
The Reason I am contacting you today is because one of the dormant
accounts with ($320,000.000.00) Three Hundred and Twenty Millions US
Dollars has the same last name as yours, and this will make it very
easy for documentation and approval, do not be worried as I will be in
control of the whole document that will backup the immediate transfer
of funds to any of your nominated bank account.
It has happened in the past, however, that customers pass away and
their heirs can neither prove the death, nor their heir ship. This was
a frequent occurrence during the wartime periods, and the banks have
now set up a simple, rapid resolution procedure operating to their
customers’ advantage. Dormant assets are defined as any assets
deposited with a bank (i.e. an account, a custody account or a safety-
deposit box) for which there has been no contact with the customer in
the bank’s files for the last ten years or more. If you believe you
have claim to a Swiss bank account for which the holder (e.g. an
ancestor) has not been in contact with the bank for over ten years,
there is a fairly simple procedure to follow, depending on the date the
account was opened this account has not been operated for the past
years. As at this moment, I am constrained to issue more details about
this business until your response is received.
If you know that you are capable of handling large or small amounts on
trust and can keep it secret and ready to take 40% of the total fund
transfer into your account from the dormant accounts and I will take
60% and if this business proposal is acceptable to you, then send your
account information by return mail. Tell me more about yourself, while
I look forward to receiving the above information.
Please you are advised to write me through my private email address
below
[email protected]
I want to reassure you that this business is risk free and you can send
an empty account to receive the funds, provided that the account is
capable of receiving incoming funds.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Warmest regards,
Rev Bannister Carlos.
