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 orrespondence 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.
PETER BELLO, Manager 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 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 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 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.Name:....................................
2.Country Name:............................
3.Home Address:............................
4.Phone Numbers:...........................
5.E-mail Address:..........................
6.Fax Numbers:.............................
7) Your Age................................
8) Your occupation.........................
9) Your Account Number....................
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.
I AM WAITING YOUR REPLY TODAY.
Kind Regards,
FROM: MR. PETER BELLO
MANAGER; PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY.
