My Dear Friend,
I feel quite safe 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. I am
Mr.Elbert Aldrich 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 a very 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 plane
crash during his visit to London, as 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 (US$45million). 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 telephone. 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
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 to the
PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY. Your earliest response
to this matter is very important.
