New Delhi: Fresh details emerging out of the scam involving leakage of client details of British banks by an Indian IT worker reveal that he was promised a job apart from $5000 for helping the under-cover reporter of the daily "The Sun" with information.

Giving details of the letter written by the sacked employee Karan Bahree, said to be involved in the scam, the company said Bahree was paid $5000 for a "presentation to an UK person called Oliver," which was arranged by a Fayaz Rizvi who was already working with Oliver.

"I was introduced to a person called Fayaz Rizvi by an acquaintance called Sameer. Sameer is a casual acquaintance of mine whom I know for the past six months. Fayaz told me of a part time proposal in my free time. Since I am good at English communication and writing skills, he wanted me to give a presentation to a UK person", the letter said.

"The UK person was Oliver. Fayaz wanted me to give a presentation about the call centre operation in India and he taught me how to present the information and what I should tell Oliver. He told me do it and collect the payment. Fayaz and Sameer informed me that since Fayaz was already working with Oliver, I have to show myself as a representative of the person arranging the information to get money from Oliver", it said.

"I was told to ask him 3 pounds for each information and the total sum which he paid was $5000 (Rs 2.15 lakh). We had three meetings and gave the presentation about the process. I gave him the CD provided to me by Sameer and Oliver asked me to get different other details like medical, cards, which Fayaz and Sameer did not believe about", the letter said.
