My Dear Friend,
I feel quite safe dealing with you in this mutual beneficail transaction.
Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose to reach
you through it because it still remains the fastest, surest and most secured
medium of communication. However, this correspondence is purely private, and
it should be treated
as such. I also guarantee you that this deal is hitch free from all what you
may think of. I am MR. PAUL IKEMBA, Executive Director incharge of Claims
and Indemnity of PRUDENTIAL Insurance Company Ltd. I am contacting you based
on Trust and confidentiality that will be attached to this deal for the
benefit of both of us .
The Management and the Legal / Treasury Department of this PRUDENTIAL
Insurance Company in a recent meeting, recommended that the account of MR.
ROBERT FINKELSTEIN, who maintained a Life Assurance Policy, should be
declared Dormant and confisticated hence moving his unclaimed benefits funds
to the Treasury according to Nigeria Banking and Financial law. Recently, I
came across avery huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person (MR.
ROBERT
FINKELSTEIN). He is foreigner, unfortunately He is now late as he was
amongst those that was Killed in the recent WARRI CRISIS as you can confirm
through this website http://www.worldpress.org/africa/1083.cfm
This man was our client and has a Life Assurance Policy WORTH the sum of
Fourty Five Million United States Dollars (US$45,000,000.00). Right now, the
fund is lying unclaimed in our custody and there is NO next of kin mentioned
in his file and there is NO HOW we can reach any of his other relatives. All
eforts made by us to establish contacts with any other of his relation has
proved abortive and unsuccessful. His Life Assurance Policy will expire in
the next few months from the date of this letter. Just last week we received
an instruction from Ministry of Social Welfare to forward particulars of all
unclaimed benefits that will expire in the next few months.
Upon my personal finding on this matter, I kept this information secret to
myself until now that I am contacting you. In view of the fact that the
deceased customer is a foreigner (from a different country), it is
Officially important for the involvement of a foreigner who will pose as a
next-of-kin. I will use my exalted
position in this Insurance Company to present you as his Next of Kin as you
can be his relative, friend or Cousin and the Money (US$45Million) will be
Safely transfered into your own bank account in your country. Before I made
up my mind to contact you, I have concluded every arrangement to ensure that
you receive the funds successfully as the next of kin. Please include your
telephone/fax number/ Home Address when replying this mail and I will give
you more information as soon as you indicate your willingness to assist in
this viable transaction.
I will use my exalted position here to get all internal documentations to
back up the claims. The whole Procedures will last only 5 working days to
get the fund retrieved successfully Without trace even in future. Please I
need the following:
1. YOUR FULL NAME
2. PHONE AND FAX NUMBER
3. HOME ADDRESS/COMPANY'S NAME AND ADDRESS.
4. YOUR AGE AND OCCUPATION
The transaction will be done successfully and smoothly completed via email
and phone. You don't need to come to my country. Send your full name,
address and telephone number to me via email urgently today so that I will
call you for discussions. I PROMISE that you must be happy and shall
rejoice greatly soonest for cooperation with me in this transaction. After
successful conclussion of this transaction, we shall share the money 50-50
(50% for you and 50% for me). I await your good response today.Thanks and
remain bless.
I require you to maintain the confidentiality of this transaction because it
is important due to the fact that I am still in active services to the
PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY. Your earliest response to this matter is very
important.
I AM WAITING YOUR REPLY TODAY.
Kind Regards,
MR. PAUL IKEMBA
