Does any one knows if this is a possible scam?

Dear Prospective Partner,


My name is Andrew Wang, I trained and work as an external auditor for the


Dah Sing Bank (DSB), working as part of a bigger team that covers the


entire Asian region. I had taken pains to find your contact through a


random web search using the deceased surname.





On routine audit check last year, I discovered some investment accounts


that had been dormant for at least twelve years. All the accounts belong


to a single/one account holder with monies totalling a little above 12.5


million United States Dollars. Now banking regulation/legislation in


Singapore demand that I do notify the fiscal authorities after a statutory


time span of twelve years when dormant accounts of this type are called in


by the Singapore Monetary Regulatory bodies.





The above set of facts underscores my reason of writing and proposing to


you. My investigations of the said account reveals that the investor, a


Briton had died in 1996-the exact time the account was last operated. I


can confirm with certainty that the said investor died intestate 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 am seized with 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 an account to be 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 30%


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. Rest assured that I


am on top of the situation all the time and there will be no risk


whatsoever if you elect 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.





Find above written telephone and email contacts that you may reach me


with. The numbers have been carefully chosen to ensure that I can be


reached at anytime you choose to call.





I do expect your prompt response.





Truly

It's good to see the 'oldies' are still in fashion .. this type of fraud is older than you are !





PS DO NOT reply .. they send out millions of these SPAM's every day to random email addresses .. IF YOU REPLY you will be 'targeted', not only by these criminals but your address will be 'sold' to other criminals who will also attempt to scam you .. and some are rather clever at 'phishing', installing 'key loggers' and 'root kits' or otherwise extracting your on-line banking details or adding your PC top their 'bot net' ...
