DG immediately took the bait:

Dear Clive,

Thank you for the detail and forthright nature in which you describe the circumstances regarding Mr. Moser Gilmore. You can trust my confidence and discretion regarding your disclosure. I have no intention of betraying the information you have given me.

I am also a family man very close to the means in which you describe yourself. I have spent many a sleepless night wondering how I am going to provide college for my children and the life I want to provide them. I consider myself a good man who has always tried to live life the "right way" believing that what I give and the effort I put forth will determine the direct and exact proportion of what I will recieve. Who is to say this is not it?

Additonally I am not one to pass up an opportunity to change our lives. You describe the detail in which the investigation tried to contact the next of kin without success. Therefore I ask myself how anyone could be harmed by pursueing what you suggest? I see no way how anyone could be harmed, although in your position I'm sure you understand what the legal ramifications could be better than I. You seem to have thought that through I expect even better than you describe in an email to this stranger.

I do wonder with an investigation of this size, the amount of people who must have been envolved along the way like those who made the initial contact to me. Wouldn't one of these individuals raise a "red flag"? How are these type of things audited?

I think the next step would be for us to meet face to face to discuss how to pursue. Quite frankly however I do not have the funds as of late for that kind of travel so I am open to suggestion on how to do so. I sense that I share with you though a sense of urgency and absolute discretion.

Regards,

D

Dear D,

I am aware that my lack of contact must have triggered your amazement. First I express my regrets at the situation and then I offer an explanation.

I am sorry at the snail pace this project has assumed, you must understand that it's a product of circumstances beyond my control. As I have mentioned, I have been extremely under the weather. I am only recently been able to pick my self up to get things moving. I have to take care of my health; the dividends of this project will amount to nothing for me if I drop dead before I can enjoy the fruits. So please accept my apologies for the tardy nature of business.

The second reason for the snail pace is the fact that we had an audit process; this audit process is instigated by external factors beyond the control of anybody within the bank. Official banking practise takes precedence over much we do here so we don't run foul of guidelines. But I must state that the audit of last week was much to our benefit. I have been able to input your details into the central management software for private banking through and electronic transfer of title mandate (ETTM) before the audit. This means I have imputed your details into the private banking mainframe before the audit and the audit had taken place and our affairs have been given a clean bill of health. It's now a fait accomplice. Having passed through the scrutiny of external authorities and found kosher then we are good, very good. There is no greater test for the work I have done that an external one.

The ability to access the management program and undertaking an ETTM means that I have by passed due process. I have been able to put in all your details and affirmed your status. When I say I have bypassed due process I mean that the normal process would be for the title beneficiary to make a series of sworn declarations, come for physical identification and come forward with some notary to get things to fly. This will not be the case for you. I have shielded you from this process. We have crossed the Rubicon and we have crossed it as victors already. Rest assured that all is well.

From this stage where do we go is the question. Well the answer is simple; you await contact from admin department. That is a process I can not control. Having done the ETTM, the program will manage the details and transfer it to the admin department for action. The admin department is to initiate contact with you and confirm that they have the right details. It's not a check it's just a confirmation so please don't be worried.

The way I imputed your details, I did it in such a way to make verbal contact with you by admin not necessary, but I think we should be double sure. If at all admin should call you the process flow demands they ask you the following questions (please do not be alarmed, they will never ask you anything other than the below details. I guarantee you that)

Name of deceased: Moser Gilmore

Mother's maiden name: Schwechter

Last known address: Wezeembeek Oppem. (Avenue Des Fleurs) Stockel Area. Brussels Belgium.

Date of birth: 1st Oct 1930

Age at time of death: 72 years

With the above, when the claims and verification department of the bank calls you, you can reel out this info to them and that's that.

Please don't we worried, as I said, there is no absolute fact that you will be called, but if at all you are they will ask you the above questions and nothing else. So don't be concerned about what story you have to tell them about how come you are related to the deceased. It's not a variable they ask, they will only act on the details submitted in the ETTM. These questions are what they are employed to ask, in fact, if they ask anything other than these questions, they could get in serious trouble so please believe me when I tell you that we are in control.

There should be questions in your mind about how the funds will be managed and where you are to keep the money. Please don't fret about this yet. I am in the system, when the time comes I will advise you because I too know you can't keep this money in your account. We will devise a way to keep this money in a legal and legitimate way without raising eye brows.

We are moving forward in transparency and trust. I am counting on you to treat me with the trust and respect I have extended to you.

I think you may be contacted before the expiration of a 5 day period, so please be at attention for communication from admin. Its either they call you or you receive a fax message or a document via courier. So let's wait and see what they do, but what ever happens, we are in control.

Now I have thought out 3 means through which we can receive our funds and would appreciate your input on the matter. The first is that I have pencilled down an offshore bank that specialises in operating accounts of this nature from anywhere in the world. These offshore banks are mostly constituted under tax free havens. We will only have to instruct United Asset management to transfer the money there once you have opened up the account.

The second option will be to inform United Asset management that you will be willing to travel to any of their payment centres in Europe to conclude this transaction in person. The third option will be to seek the services of a Lawyer in the U.K. who will act as your representative Attorney with respect to endorsement of documents at the United Asset management office. we can tie option 3 to option 1 and have the funds transferred to the designated account, as I hope to have everything concluded by the tail end of the week. I will definitely need your advise on these three options to see which best suits you.

I hope to hear from you soon as we try to formulate the best possible route within the shortest time frame whilst we work in unison. I'll be patiently awaiting your response.

I will call you shortly.

Sincerely,

Clive.
