Subject: Hello
Hello,
My name is Fredrick Lawnson; I work with the Phillips Consulting Firm in London. We are conducting a standard process investigation involving a client who shares the same name with you and also the circumstances surrounding Cash lodgement made by this client at a security company.
Our client died intestate and nominated no next of kin to inherit the title over the Lodgement made with our company. The essence of this communication
with you is to request that you provide us information on three issues:
1-Are you aware of any relative/relation having the same surname, whose last known contact address was Toronto Canada?
2-Are you aware of any lodgement of considerable value made by such person at any security company in United Kingdom
3-Can you establish beyond reasonable doubt your eligibility to assume status of next of kin to the deceased?
It is pertinent that you inform us ASAP whether or not you are familiar with this personality that we may put an end to this communication with you and our inquiries surrounding this personality.
You must appreciate that we are constrained from providing you with more detailed information at this point. Please respond to this mail as soon as
possible to afford us the opportunity to close this investigation. .
Thank you for accommodating our enquiry.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Fredrick Lawnson.
Phillips Consulting.
Consultation Phillips.
