Hello My Dear,
RE: WEALTH ACQUISITION PROPOSAL.
My name is Mr. Raymond Cheng Zeng I trained and work as an external auditor for the United Overseas Bank (UOB) of
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 last twelve
years All the accounts belong to a single holder with full names witheld This customer has monies totaling a little
above $16.9 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 proposal.
My investigation of the said account reveals that the investor died in 1995 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 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/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 co-operation to my proposal please do so by emailing the following details to me via
Secured Email: raychengzeng@web2mail.com

Postal address:-
Cell Phone No:-
