Subject: Hello Dear, Please treat as Urgent
Firstly, I want to apologize for using this medium of communication,
as it is intentional for the privacy of the transaction. I am Mr. Jose
Balvin, a Mutual Funds & Relationship Manager, with a Security &
Assets management company here in Hong Kong.
On the 4th of March 2009, one of our HNWC (High Net Worth Clients)
Keith residing in Hong Kong, invested massively in one of our mutual
funds schemes at a return interest rate of 6% PA. Without informing
Keith, I negotiated an extra 5% interest on the principal sum and
presented it autonomously to the treasury unit, which was approved by
a confidant and colleague at the time. Keith liquidated the investment
fully last year, without any rollovers and closed the account
completely with my company who have since completely discharged all
obligations as agreed hence owe nothing directly to Keith as far as
concerned. The extra 5% which was then negotiated by me was without
the knowledge or consent of anyone else which I was able to facilitate
by using my colleague in the treasury department, it has now
culminated to USD$ 8,945,000 (Eight Million, Nine Hundred & Forty Five
Thousand United States Dollars), and is currently in a segregated
bonded floating account managed by our prime brokers, an offshore
investment bank here in Hong Kong (will inform you of the bank, as we
proceed). This was possible then, as I only took advantage of a glitch
in the system that was mistakenly left open by government policies here.
Pursuit to a new company policy, which states and prohibits fixed
equity to be liquidated and remitted to a third party, hence simply
the main reason I have contacted you to work with me and act in this
capacity. I have mapped and schemed out a perfect 18 days funds
transmission from liquidation to the final processing of the funds
release order to your account. This is a normal and conventional
practice amongst investment bankers in all financial districts of the
world, including London, New York and Geneva. Some banks convert these
excesses into fat bonuses, and split amongst themselves to give it a
cover. So you have absolutely no worries as it is 100% guaranteed and
risk free, as this is what we classify in banking parlance as an extra
legal transaction, which must be guided discreetly and its details
must remain kept between the parties involved in this case you and I
only.
Please reach me by email,so I can furnish you with more details and
steps for us to follow to achieve success together.
Mr. Jose Balvin
