Got this in an email today. Was surprised to see it's apparently from Taiwan.

FROM THE DESK OF:
MR.TONG QIANG,
BANK OF OVERSEAS CHINESE
TAIPEI,TAIWAN


Dear Friend,

How are you today and business in your country? I am Tong Qiang, Bank
Manager of bank of Overseas,Taiwan. I would respectfully request that
you
keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity
of
the information you come by as a result of this mail. I contacted you
independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this
communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I
believe would be of interest to you. I know you would be wondering why
I
am writing you with a request such as this but I only urge you to read
on.


A British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals
Corporation, Mr.Courtney Steven made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit
for
twelve calendar months, the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr.
Courtney Steven died from an airplane crash.The bank immediately
launched
an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the
situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are
familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our services
usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from
conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin.

In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no
one
will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name;
depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This
bank
also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them
or
held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the
account
and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking
clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most
cases
leave wills in our care, in this case; Mr. Courtney Steven died
interstate. In line with our internal processes for account holders who
have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to
determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation
has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every
continent
and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the
root
of the problem.

According to the Laws of Republic of China, at the expiration of 6
(Six)
years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Chinese Government
if
nobody applies to claim the funds. What I wish to relate to you will
smack
of unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is
only
an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the
banking world aberrational. The world of banking especially is fraught
with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee
certain
portfolios,I alone have the deposit details and they will release the
deposit to no one unless evidence of relationship with the deceased,
which
I shall provide you with, is presented. I alone know of the existence
of
this deposit for as far as Bank of Overseas is concerned, the bank's
management has no single idea of what’s the history or nature of the
deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit
to
any party that comes forward.

I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find
no
interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that
you
do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to
you,
delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my
career because you do not approve of my proposal,If you find yourself
able
to work with me, contact me through this email address. If you give me
positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I
wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I
will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want
you
contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you
contacting
me through my official email account. Contact me only through the
numbers
I will provide for you and also through this email address. My official
lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess
our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management
Policy. Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again,
note I
am a family man, I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not
without a measure of fear as to what the consequences may be, but I
know
within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and
riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I
have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my
confidence.
If we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting, soon.

In closing, please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured
that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I
shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Upon
receiving your reply, I will then furnish you with a more comprehensive
detail of this transaction and what is required of you.


Awaiting your urgent reply.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr.Tong Qiang

Just because the body of the e-mail says Taiwan, that does not mean the scammer is based there. He could be based anywhere - you need to check the full e-mail headers to find out.

You spotted it was a scam, so I am not offering to do this for you.

Unless there is a chance of catching the fraudster, the police merely smile sweetly and file your denunciation. They cannot do anything else unless you send them the full header. If you think they are ruthlessly hunting your scammer, you are deluding yourself.
