Hi,
How are you doing?
I got a call this morning from the Society General Bank France that your funds has been inactive (dormant) for over 3 years without you contacting them for it and according to them, any fund that was abandoned by its beneficiary for more than 3 years stand a risk of being freeze by bank and turned into Government funds. They said that they'll terminate everything about your funds if they don't hear from you till the end of this Month.
Meanwhile, they have already transferred your funds to the state department of treasury for safekeeping. Now waiting for an order from the Government to put your funds in an escheat. Therefore, I'll advise you to try and contact them today if possible so that they will stop their plan of confiscating those funds and diverting it into Government funds for no reason. Rather, I would like you to authorize whoever is capable of receiving those funds if you are not capable, rather than watching such a huge amount of money being escheat by the Government.
So, kindly contact Society General Bank to sort this out before it's too late or you write an official letter authorizing whoever is capable to take over and receive those funds. I will email the Society General Bank contact details to you once I hear from you that you are interested and capable of receiving your funds. Don't forget to write the official authorization letter to whoever that is capable if you're not capable.
Waiting for your reply as quickly as possible,
Mrs. Joyce McCarthy.

Hi Mrs. Joyce,
Thank you so much for reaching out — I’ve been meaning to check in on this, and I’m truly grateful you took the time to explain everything. I’ve actually been working on a few personal finance reviews lately, especially after hearing about some of the new rules around dormant accounts. It’s strange how these things get buried under the noise of daily life, especially in a place like Houston where banking tends to run on long-standing trust and old habits.
I just got back from a meeting with my cousin who’s in the financial services field — he mentioned something about the French banks doing automated audits on inactive accounts, and that there’s a process where beneficiaries need to formally "re-engage" or face automatic transfer. That’s exactly what you described, and I can see why it’s urgent. It makes me wonder — is there a specific form or template the Society General Bank uses for the authorization letter? I’d love to get that so I can draft something clear and compliant.
Also, since I’m not actually in France, could you let me know if there’s a local representative or agent they recommend for handling this? I don’t want to accidentally misstep by sending something to the wrong office.
Lastly, do you know if the funds are in euros or dollars? I’ve been trying to keep up with exchange rates lately, and I’d want to make sure I’m fully informed before I go ahead with anything.
Looking forward to your guidance — I really want to help ensure this doesn’t go to government escheat.
Warm regards,
Danny Smith
