Sir/Madam.
This is for your attention
We wish to notify you again that you were listed as a beneficiary to the
total sum of £4,600,000.00GBP (Four million Six hundred thousand British
pounds) in the intent of the deceased (name now withheld since this is our
second letter to you).We contacted you because you bear the surname identity
and therefore can present you as the beneficiary to the inheritance since
there is no written will. Our legal services aim to provide our private
clients with a complete service. We are happy to prepare wills, set-up and
administer Trusts, carry out the administration of estates and prepare and
administer powers of attorney. All the papers will be processed in your
acceptance. In your acceptance of this deal, we request that you kindly
forward to us your letter of acceptance; your current telephone and fax
numbers and a forwarding address to enable us file necessary documents at
our high court probate division for the release of this sum of money.
Yours faithfully
Raymond white
