Subject: FROM: MR. BEN EZE,
FROM: MR. BEN EZE,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 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 MR. BEN EZE, Executive Director in charge 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 huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person (MR. ROBERT FINKELSTEIN). He is a foreigner and unfortunately He is now late as he was amongst those that Died on the recent plane crash during his visit to London with his entire family. You can confirm through this websitebelow.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 to establish contacts with any member of his relation has provedabortive 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 stand in 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 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 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 Ineed 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 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 conclusion of this transaction, we shall share the money 50-50 (50% for you and 50% for me). I await your good response today. Note that you did not need to travel to any country to receive this Fund because the US$45Million will be transferred into your nominated bank account either in your country or any country for your choice. Thanks and remain bless. Irequire 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.

Kind Regards,
MR.BEN EZE,
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR; PRUDENTIAL Insurance Company PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY
