Subject: GOOD NEWS
FROM: MR. KAYODE JOHNSON
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR; PRUDENTIAL Insurance Company
PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY.
My Dear Friend,
I feel quite safe and satisfy dealing with you in this mutual
beneficial
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 and I encourage you to
read it to
the end so that you can understand it very well. I am Mr. Paul Steve,
Executive Director incharge of Claims and Indemnity of Prudential
Insurance
Company. 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 our 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 on the recent plane crash during his visit to London you can
confirm through this website
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
This man was our client and has a Life Assurance Policy WORTH the sum
of Forty
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
efforts
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. 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. Send your full name, address and telephone number to me via
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. KAYODE JOHNSON
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR; PRUDENTIAL Insurance Company
