Subject: Urgent Response To this Matter is Very Important.
From:Mr.Paul Steve
Dear Sir/Ma
I am 'Mr.Paul Steve, Executive Director of Claims and Indemnity of Prudential Insurance Company. 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. A huge sum of money belonging to ( MR. ROBERT FINKELSTEIN, ) who his Account should be declared Dormant and confisticated.
He is a foreigner and he was amongst those that Died on therecent plane crash during his visit to London with his entire family. You can confirm through this website below.
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 Fifty Million,United State Dollars(US$50,000,000.00).
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 proved abortive and unsuccessful. His Life Assurance Policy will expire in the next few months. 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 thisinformation secret to myself until now that I am contacting you. In view of the fact that the deceased customer is a foreigner, it is officially important for the involvementof a foreigner who will pose as a next-of-kin. I will use my position in this Insurance Company to present you as his Next of Kin and the Money(US$50,000,000.00) will be safely transferred into your own bank account in your country. I hope we can share the funds 50% for you, and 50% for me as i am not greedy The transaction will be done successfully 3-4 working days only. 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.
Here is the information that is needed for the transaction.
1) Your Full name
2)Your direct telephone/fax number
3) Your banking details where you want the fund to transfered into
4) Home and office address
5)Age and Occupation.
6) Marriage Staus.
Your earliest and urgent response to this matter is very important. I anticipate you prompt response, God blessing as you acknowledge my mail urgently.
Kind Regards,
Mr.Paul Steve
