Question about endowment

I have just had a letter from endowment company (think Lady GAGA)saying there has been a c*ck up and here is the letter explaining it and how we fixed it.

the maturity date is Feb 2012 and since 1990 I have been paying £13.50 a month, so £3252.50 so far. The surrender value is given as £2905. and the amount that was to be paid out in 2012 was £5000, somehow I don't think it will.

The sum assured is £1890 and the total bonus is £1600, so does that mean that the minimum that will be paid out in 2012 will be £3490?

Given that I will pay another £283.50 can I assume that I will then get back at least £3773.50?

I have just had another endowment mature this month and it was for £3100, I got back £2789 and had paid £6.98 per month for the past 22 years.

Yes

No, because bonus rates are not particularly linked to the premium you're paying but are much more to do with the growth of the invested funds, some of which is passed to you as a bonus.

Which company are these with? This can make a heap of difference.

What if no further premiums are paid?

And perhaps also because the figure of 3490 already assumes that future premiums will be paid?
