Subject: FROM MR MIKE EDWARD
*FROM MR MIKE EDWARD
GENERAL MANAGER PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY.
ATTN:*
*I feel quite safe dealing with you in this mutual beneficialtransaction.
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 Mike Edward,manager 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 Finke stein, 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 Finke stein). *
*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*<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 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.*
*Kindly provide all required information.
