Good day,
I am Ronald Peter Fabrini, staff of Royal Bank Of Scotland. I am
contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed
under our banks management eight years 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 contacted 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 2001, the subject matter
came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private
banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of
Twenty Two Million Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars
($22,350,000.00 USD), 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 the private banking sector, 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 Ten 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 2002, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to
make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in here in the United
Kingdom. He directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a
security firm here in London. I informed him that the bank 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 borders has become
especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate
here in London and made the funds available to the bank. I undertook all
the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the
letter and had the funds deposited at the London based Bank , this bank is
a specialist 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 the Bank, The deceased 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 June 2003. In June
last year, we got a call from the Bank informing us that the activity of
that particular portfolio. This was an astounding position as far as I was
concerned, given the fact that I managed the private banking sector I was
the only one who knew about the deposit at the Bank, and I could not
understand why the deceased ha d not come forward to claim his deposit. I
made futile efforts to locate the deceased. I immediately passed the task
of locating him to the internal investigations department of the Bank.
Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently our client
was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart
attack in Cannes, South of France.
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. 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. 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; the deceased died
without a testament .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. 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, The Bank will by the end of this financial year
12th day of September, 2011 broadcast a request for statements of claim
to the Bank.
failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the
deposit back to the Bank. This will result in the money entering the Bank
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 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 aberrational.
