You Are The Next Of Kin

Hello,

My name is Mr. Edward Tan. I trained and work as an external auditor for
the Development Bank of Singapore (DBS) here in Singapore, working as part
of a bigger team that covers the entire Asian region. I had taken pains to
find your contact through personal endeavors.

On routine audit check last month, I discovered some investment accounts
that had been dormant for the least twelve years. All the accounts belong
to a single holder with monies totaling a little above $12.8 million
United States Dollars plus interest. Banking regulation/legislation in
Singapore demand that I notify the fiscal authorities after a statutory
time period of twelve years when dormant accounts of this type are called
in by the monetary regulatory bodies. The above set of facts underscores
my reason of writing and making the following proposing.

My investigation of the said account reveals that the death occurred in
1994—the exact time the account was last operated. I can confirm with
certainty that the said investor died interstate and no next–of–kin to his
estate has been found or has come forward all these years. I am of the
settled conviction that using my insider leverage, I, working with you can
secure the funds in the account for us instead of allowing it pass as
unclaimed funds into the coffers of the Government of Singapore. This is
especially possible as you bear the same LAST NAME to the said investor.
This exactly is why I crave your participation and co-operation. I have
seized all relevant documents (legal and Banking) that will facilitate our
putting you forward as the claimant and beneficiary of the funds and
ultimately transfer the money to any account nominated by you. Of course
you shall be handsomely rewarded for your part in this transaction as the
people I am working with are prepared to allocate a 20% slice of the total
funds for your efforts, less any expenses. I shall however leave out the
finer details of this transaction till I receive an affirmation of your
desire to participate.

Be assured that my colleagues and I are on top of the situation all the
time and there will be no risk whatsoever if you agree to come on board.
Needless to say, UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY is of vital importance if we are
to successfully reap the immense benefits of this transaction.

To maintain the level of security required to see this transaction come to
a successful conclusion, I have intentionally left out the finer details.
To affirm your willingness and cooperation to my proposal please do so by
email, stating your Full Names, Date of Birth, Telephone Number, Fax
Number, Company/position held, Email address and Postal address.

I do expect you prompt response. REPLY ONLY TO edtan57@sify.com

Thank you,
Mr. Edward Tan
