The Management and the Legal / Treasury Department of this PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY in a recent meeting, recommended that the account of MR.

ed 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 during his visit to London, 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 w!
e received an instruction from Ministry of Social Welfare to forward p
articulars 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.
