FROM: HAJIA HALIMA ABDULRAHMAN
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR;
PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE
COMPANY.
DAKAR SENEGAL
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 HAJIA HALIMA ABDULRAHMAN, 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 a 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 twenty Five Million United
States Dollars (US$25,000,000.00). 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$25 Million)
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 or if you wish you can come down and see things for yourself. 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.

HAJIA HALIMA ABDULRAHMAN
