OT: unclaimed funds

[Jean-Pierre A. Radley]

I recently spent a few hours on the web site of NY State's Office of
Unclaimed Funds.  I found that New York was holding monies from phone
companies, health insurers, American Express, stores, Hertz, various
funds and banks for my brother, his wife and his daughter, my wife and
her late former husband and her daughter, several of my doctors and
dentists, and several dozen other friends.

One of them just called me so excited about $383 coming back to her from
some 15-year old transaction that she insists that she will buy me a nice
lunch.

You have nothing to lose by searching on Google using the keywords
"unclaimed funds" along with the state in which you now reside, or have
ever resided.  If you find nothing for yourself, as was my case, start
mining the web site(s) for others in your address book.
