Good morning ,
I hope this email finds you well. Please accept my sincere apologies for this unsolicited message. I understand this is not a conventional way to establish communication, but I believe you will appreciate the necessity of my reaching out. I have made several unsuccessful attempts to contact you through other means.
I work with Astrobank Ltd Cyprus (formerly Piraeus Bank Cyprus Ltd). Your contact information was obtained from public records while searching for potential relatives of a deceased client, The client happens to share your last name.
In June 2011, this individual, a Cyprus resident and client of our bank, invested €21.4 million in a high-yielding financial product. By the time of maturity, this investment had grown to €25.5 million, inclusive of accrued interest. Unfortunately, despite multiple notices requesting instructions on handling the proceeds, no response was received.
Upon further inquiry, I discovered that the client had tragically passed away in a car accident in France during the summer of 2012. They were unmarried, had no children, and, based on our records, did not designate a next-of-kin. Due to the sensitive nature of private banking, Cyprus banks do not require foreign customers to furnish next-of-kin details, nor do they actively seek out relatives of deceased foreign clients unless instructed otherwise.
As per Cyprus banking regulations, unclaimed funds remain dormant for a specific period. After 13 years, they are transferred to the Cyprus Banking Ombudsman. If no claims are made within 15 years, the Cyprus government assumes full ownership of the funds.
Given this situation, I am reaching out to explore the possibility of presenting you as the legally designated family representative of the late client. This would allow us to process and transfer the investment proceeds accordingly. Please rest assured that this will be executed under a completely legitimate arrangement in full compliance with Cyprus financial laws.
If you are open to discussing this matter further, kindly respond at your earliest convenience. I am happy to provide any necessary clarifications. You may reach me via email at; gregoriahad@cyprusboxsmail.net
Looking forward to your response.
Best regards,
Gregoria H.
