Subject: Greetings
Dear Freind.
With warm heart, I offer my friendship, my Greetings and I hope this matter meets you in good time. My name is Tony Johnson .Finkelstein. I'm 20yrs old and the only son of (Mr. Robert Finkelstein). who work with the Prudential Insurance Company in Nigeria.
I am sincerely seeking your trust and Assistance due to the tragedy that occured in the month of April 2007. My father travelled to Iraq for business purpose and became a victim of suicide bombing that took place in the month of April 2007 in Iraq.my late father (Mr. Robert Finkelstein) was a renown Contractor in Nigeria and he had a Life Assurance Policy with the said Insurance Company prior to his demise, my father Signed a Life Assusrance Contract to the tune of US$45,000,000.00 (Forty Five Million, United States Dollars) which is still unclaimed at the Reputable Finance Company.
My father was a successful businessman before his Death, and he maintained a deposit worth about US$45,000,000.00 (Forty Five Million, United States Dollars) in a Reputable Finance Company. and I have been contacted by the Finance Company as the Next of kin to this Deposit.
I am contacting you to help me invest this money in your country. I do not want the money to be kept in the Finance Company for too long a time due to changes in Government policies. I was recently informed/advised by one of the lawyers at the legal Department of Prudential Insurance Company, to move the funds out of the Finance Company. due to the New British Prime Minister's policies on Terrorist Activities in the U.K.
Though my father is not a Terrorist, I do not want the Government to declare the funds as Terrorist funds because of my Nationality. Hence I have contacted you to provide a safe Account for the transfer of the funds for Investment purpose because I do not have any experience about Banking Operations.
This fund is currently lying in a Reputable Finance Company, and therefore my Father ATTORNEY will File an immediate Application for the Transfer of the US$45,000,000.00 (Forty Five Million, United States Dollars) in your Name.
Presently, I'm a student in one of the colleges in the U.K. and do not have any Bank Account. I will be happy to relocate and Join you in order to conclude my education in your country. You will be highly compensated with 40% of the total sum for your own personal use to help me for this Transaction. I'm waiting for your immediate reply in order to make contact with the Reputable Finance Company.
Yours truly,Mr Tony Johnson. Finkelstein
