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 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 for the benefits of both of us.I am Philios
Zachariades (General Manager,ROYAL CROWN INSURANCE COMPANY),in charge of
Claims and Indemnity of ROYAL CROWN 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 ROYAL CROWN
INSURANCE COMPANY in a recent meeting, recommended that the account of
MR.ROGER JACK ,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
a huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person (MR.ROGER JACK).He is a
foreigner"a German National"and unfortunately He was among 109 people on
board and five who died on the ground when the plane crashed into the
Hotelissimo. when they were flying from western German city of
Moenchengladbach to
New York to join a Caribbean cruise for a "vacation of a lifetime". All
occupants of the Aeroplane unfortunately lost their lives.
You can confirm through this website below:

This man was our client and has a Life Assurance Policy WORTH the sum of
Thirty Five Million United States Dollars (US$35,000,000.00). 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 to establish contacts with any member 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$35Million) will be safely transferred 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 valuable transaction. I will use my exalted
position here to get all internal documentations to back up the claims. The
whole Procedures will last only 7 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. I Might 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 conclusion of this transaction, we shall share
the money in this ratio:
1.) 55% for Me
2.) 40% for you,
while the remaining 5% should be use to pay any expenses or tax at the end
of the
transaction as your Government may require.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 Company.
Your earliest and urgent response to this matter is very important.
I AM WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY TODAY.
Kind Regards,
Philios Zachariades
General Manager,ROYAL CROWN INSURANCE COMPANY.
