Subject: This Is Our Last Notice To You.
Good day to you.
I may have to trouble your sense of personal achievement and reward for an Opportunity properly taken advantage of.
We wish to notify you again that you were listed as a beneficiary to the total sum of US$21,000,000.00 Dollars in the intent of the deceased (name 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, with your full name, your contact address, 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 in your favour.
Yours faithfully,
Douglas Clark.
