Good day My Dear Friend,
I write to make this surprising but mutually benefiting business proposal. I
am MR. RICHARD IKEDIEGO Director; Grand Union Assurance; Company Ltd. As one
of the top members of the Board of Director of this Grand Union Assurance
Company, in a recent meeting, we the members of the Board of Management and
the Legal / Treasury Department of this Assurance Company 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 for the fact that it has been over a decade that the Assurance
Contract was made and after the death of the PolicyHolder, none of his
relatives has front to claim the left behind estate. Recently, I came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person (MR. ROBERT
FINKELSTEIN).
He was foreigner, and unfortunately he is now late. This man was our client
and has a Life Assurance Policy WORTH the sum of Thirty Seven Million United
States Dollars (US$37,000,000.00). 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 contact with any other of his relations has proved abortive and
unsuccessful. His Life Assurance Policy will expire in the next few months
from the date of this letter. Just few weeks back, 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 was a foreigner (from a different country), it is
Officially important for the involvement of a foreigner who will pose as a
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.
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 telephone. 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 in the ratio of 6:3 (60% for me, 30% for you and the
remainning 10% be set aside for any expenses that may be incured in the
project.
I await your good response today. Thanks and remain blessed. 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 this Assurance Company.
Your earliest response to this matter is very important.
I AM WAITING YOUR REPLY TODAY.
Kind Regards,
MR. RICHARD IKEDIEGO
Grand Union Assurance Company Ltd.
