      Ваш самый ранний ответ на это письмо будет оценен.

      Наилучшие пожелания,

      г. Патрик К. У.Чан

      Семенов задумался. Возникло сразу несколько вопросов.

      1) Откуда он узнал, что я честный человек и кто мог рекомендовать меня для этой серьезной и опасной работы?

      2) Что его заставило помогать нашей стране, Беларуси, находясь на краю света – на самом юге Китая?

      3) Как понимать то, что фонды будут разделены между нами обоими?

      Тогда что достанется моей стране – Беларуси?

      Немного непонятно. Но он обещает дать дополнительную информацию.

      Это сыграло главную роль, и Семенов решил ответить на это письмо.

      Ответ был такой:

      Hello Mr. Patrick K.W.Chan

      Thank you for business proposal and confidence.

      I am ready to help you and my country – Belarus any time and so good as can.

      What I must do?

      Sincerely yours

      Mr. Ivan Semenov.

      Что на русском языке означало:

      Здравствуйте, г. Патрик К. У. Чан!

      Благодарю Вас за деловое предложение и доверие.

      Я готов помочь Вам и моей стране – Беларуси в любое время и так хорошо, как смогу.

      Что я должен делать?

      С уважением

      господин Иван Семенов

      Была поздняя ночь. Дети и жена уже спали. Семенов отослал сообщение, выключил компьютер и пошел спать.

      На следующий день пришло длинное письмо – опять на английском языке и с китайскими иероглифами в конце сообщения.

      Автор письма сообщал:

      My Dear Mr. Ivan Semenov

      First of all I want to thank you for considering my proposal. One aspect I will like to talk about is PARTNERSHIP. I strongly believe in the power and spirit of Partnership in business. Partnership it is all about mutual understanding, mutual efforts /contribution and mutual benefits for all parties involved in the partnership. On this note, I would want us to work as a team in pursuit of this interest with utmost professionalism, transparency, commitment and confidentiality.

      The first thing I will do is to get you acquainted with the complete details (a general overview) of this transaction so as to give you a foundation on which to make a concrete decision.

      I contacted you concerning a deceased customer Aziz Musa Numan (An Iraqi Crude oil merchant), and an investment he placed under our banks management. Once again I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the I formation you come by as a result of this mail. I am contacting you independently 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 June 2001, Aziz Musa Numan came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 18,3 million United States dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case because of his high net worth profile; 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 600 traditional stocks and bond managers and 300 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 22,5 million United States dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments.

      Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war (U.S and Iraqi war), Four years ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of Hang Seng Bank Ltd. Information started to trickle in that Aziz Musa Numan and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit his home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was. 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. СКАЧАТЬ
