      VERIFICATION AND PAYMENT OF UNCLAIMED FUND

      We write to inform you that the Office of Unclaimed Funds of the Security and Exchange Commission here in England, has decided to verify and confirm the true identity of the owner of the funds which was left unclaimed and later got invested in the capital market and managed by an investment company since over three years.

      The capital together with the profit from investment as accrued till date is $5,000,000.00USD. The original sum of $4,000,000.00 was awarded to you after a coupon which your name was attach to, emerged with the winning numbers. The coupons were bought by an investment company, who in order to enhance their chance of winning, collect and bet on names from around the world.
      Soon after your name emerged as a winner, a letter of notification was sent to you, but for some reason you did not receive it and we could not complete the process of claiming the fund. The money was therefore released to the investment company (MANFRED INVESTMENTS AND INSURANCE SERVICES) which invested it in profitable stocks for an initial period of three years.

      The money was to be released to you after the initial period of investment expired, but because there were some complications with the addresses of the winners, some notification letters were probably sent to the wrong addresses. This resulted in some false applications for the claiming f the money by some unscrupulous individuals.
      In response to this problem, the Security and Exchange Commission ordered the money retained with the Office of Unclaimed Funds pending the conclusion of an investigation to identify the true owner/owners of the fund.
      To make sure that the legal procedure is followed in the payment of the money to the real beneficiary, the investment company has subsequently hired our law firm to act as legal consultants in the processing and payment of the Unclaimed fund.
      For advise, on how to begin your claim, we request you to reply immediately, our senior partner, can update your file for your claim.
      Furthermore, your interest for the processing and payment of this money to you must be made before the 1st of January, 2013.
      The money will be reinvested automatically after this date. Please, do let us know if you would like the money to be reinvested.
      Our responsibility is to ensure that due process is followed, and your interest protected in the processing and payment of the money to you. We will commence the procedure as soon as we receive your instructions.
      Please, always quote your reference number in any of your correspondence with us.
      We happily congratulate you and look forward to representing you.
      Best regards,

    • I think the biggest clue that it is a scam is that they want you to contact someone with a Yahoo email address. Any corporation would have an email address that relates to the company!
