Subject: { Private And Confidential } 0742
Good Day,
I am Tham Wai,an external auditor for the United Overseas Bank (UOB)
Singapore,working as part of a bigger team that covers
the entire Asian region.Recently,i discovered some investment accounts that
had been dormant for some time.All the accounts
belong to a single holder with monies totaling $15.7 million.
The Singapore law 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 investigations of the said account reveals that the investor died in
1993 the exact time the account were last operated. I can
confirm with certainty that the said investor died intestate ( Dying
without a legal will ) 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 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/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. I
shall however leave out the final 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 this deal will ne carried out smoothly 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 to come
to a successful conclusion, I have intentionally left out the
final details.Please contact me immediately through my email address
whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will
enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal. But
where you are interested, contact me through my email
address below, as time is of the essence in this business.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.Forward your info my
confidential email addresses below.
