Re: Refund due: $1,092.08
Dear [wife's name],
I teach Mathematics at the University level and in my "spare time" I operate a small "Refund Recovery Service" - in other words, I search government records through the Freedom of Information Act and I find unclaimed refunds that the United States Federal Government owes to certain individuals and then I notify those individuals so that they can claim and receive their refund check. I get paid by receiving at "10% Finder Fee" - from the individual - after they have actually received their refund check.
The federal government owes you a refund check of $1,092.08
This money has been available (waiting for you to claim it) for several years. The government maintains that they have notified your (or attempted to notify you), but according to the records that I have found, this money has not yet been claimed by you.
It is earning zero percent (0%) interest and the government has been waiting on you to claim it since 2004. This particular agency of the Federal Government imposes a strict deadline of a six year (6 year) Statute of Limitations, so time is of the essence.
So here's the question:
Would you be willing to do a "Hand Shake Deal" with me on a 10% "Finders Fee"?
In other words, if I can get you the information necessary to help you retrieve this refund check of $1,092.08 - once you have received the check - would yo be willing to write me a check for $109?
If you would, then please sign off on the enclosed form and return it to me in the attached self-addressed envelope that I have provided.
On the other hand, if you have already received this refund check, then please indicate that on the same form and return it to me.
That money that is owed to you by the government is called a "refund check", because it represents money that you have actually overpaid to the government. I do not work for the government and you do not need my services in order to receive this refund check.
However, many people never claim their money because they do not know that it exists and because they do not have the case # or the appropriate contact information to being the refund process.
My service to you is three-fold:
[1] I have searched government records (going back several years) and have discovered that you have a refund due.
[2] I have gone to the expense of tracking down your correct address and have mailed you this letter informing you that you definitely have a refund due.
[3] When I receive the enclosed form from you (indicating that you and I have a "Hand Shake Deal" that you will pay me a 10% Finders Fee for these services), then I will immediately forward you the case # and provide you with the appropriate contact information by return mail, so that you can begin the refund process.
At that point, you will need to contact the government and then you will need to provide the paperwork they require. Once they affirm that your paperwork is correct, they will order a refund check to be issued to you and send it to your correct address.
When you receive the refund check from the Federal Government for $1,092.08 then you write me a check (or money order) for $109 and mail it to the following address:
Dr. Gordon Boggs, P.O. Box 333, Ranburne, AL 36273
That's the reason I call our agreement a "Hand Shake Deal".
It is based on you giving me your WORD.
If you are willing to do that, then please complete the enclosed form and I will respond by return mail.
Thank you!
Dr. Gordon Boggs.
