Hello Friend!

It is my great pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my colleagues. Your information was given to me by a member of the South African Export Promotion Council (SAEPC) who was with the Government delegation on a trip to overseas country for bilateral conference talks to encourage foreign investors. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it confidential because of the nature of this business.

Within the Department of Minerals & Energy where I work as a Director of Audit and Project Implementation and with the co-operation of three other top officials, we have in our possession an overdue payment in US Dollar funds. The said funds represent certain percentage of the total contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced to the amount of US$35,000,000.00 (Thirty Five Million US Dollars). Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed.

Since the present Government is determined to pay all foreign contractor debts owned in order to maintain good relationship with foreign governments and non-governmental agencies. We intend to include our bills for approvals with the Department of Finance and the Contracts Award and Payments Committee. So we are seeking your assistance to front as beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are not allowed to operate foreign accounts. Details and change of beneficiary information upon application for claim to reflect payment and approvals will be secured on behalf of you/your company.

I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in this transaction your share as compensation will be so negotiated and agreed upon by both you and we on this side, before further details will change hands to enhance our primary objective. The mode of sharing after a successful transfer of the money into
your account, shall be 70% to my colleagues and I, for the role you will be expected to play in this deal, we have agreed to give you 25% of the total sum and 5% for the expenses we are going to encounter by the two parties at the course of this transaction.

The business is completely safe and secure, provided you treat it with utmost confidentiality. It does not matter whether you/your company does contract projects as a transfer of powers will be secured in favor of you/your company to settle any legality. Also, your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint us.
HOWEVER, WHEN THE FUND IS TRANSFERRED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT OVER THERE, I SHALL OBTAIN VISA AND TRAVEL WITH MY FAMILY OVER THERE FOR MY OWN SHARE OF THIS MONEY IN THIS REGARD,I WOULD LIKE YOU TO SEND ME THE FOLLOWING INFORMATIONS THROUGH THE EMAIL ADDRESS BELOW FOR SECURITY REASONS
YOU’RE NAME:
—————————–
YOU’RE OCCUPATION:
—————————–
YOU’RE ADDRESS:
—————————–
YOUR PRIVATE PHONE / FAX NUMBERS:

I expect your urgent response to enable us conclude this transaction urgently without any hitch. Kindly notify me via my Private email for further details upon your acceptance of this proposal.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Regards

MR MARK DAVID.

Good day,

My name is Aidan Merlin, trained and working as Account Officer for
the Development Bank of Singapore (DBS). As regard this project, I had
taken pains to find your contact through personal endeavours.

I write to contact you about a Foreigner who died here in Singapore,
Twenty-two years ago leaving behind an estate/capital (US$12.8M with
interest) here in
Development Bank of Singapore (DBS) where I work till date, but nobody
has come forward or put an application for the claim. I feel it is
very important I include the websites of the unfortunate incident for
you to view, which claimed the life of the late investor.

http://infopedia.nlb.gov.sg/articles/SIP_783_2004-12-31.html

I can confirm with certainty that the said Investor died intestate in
1986 and no next-of-kin to his estate and no body came forward all
these years. I am of the
settled conviction that using my insider leverage and working with
you, we can secure the funds in the account for ourselves instead of
allowing it pass as unclaimed funds into the coffers of the Government
of Singapore.

In pursuant of the above plan, we choose you in this transaction
specially because you bear the same NAME with the said Investor.
However you shall be handsomely rewarded for your assistance and
co-operation in this transaction; as my colleagues and I have
collectively agreed to allocate 20% of the total funds for your role.

However, if you are interested in carrying out this deal, you are
advised to email me the following information as stated below so that
we can immediately commence on the process on how the funds will be
released to you as the Next of Kin.

i. RE-CONFIRM YOUR FULL NAMES:
ii. CONTACT ADDRESS:
iii. DATE OF BIRTH:
iv. TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER:
v. OCCUPATION:

Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and I urgently wait to hear from you.

Best regards,
Aidan Merlin
