NOTIFICATION OF BEQUEST:
On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late Mr. Edwin
Gabriel, I once again try to notify you as my earlier letter was
returned undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach you again by this same email
address. I wish to notify you that Late Mr. Edwin Gabriel made someone a
beneficiary to his WILL. He left the sum of Five Million One Hundred
Thousand Dollars (USD$5,100.000.00) in the codicil and last testament to his
will. As a matter of fact, I was unable to get in touch with this person,
that is why I reverted to you so that, I will use your name to claim the
money before the bank impounds or seize the money.
This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and
true. Mr. Edwin Gabriel until his death was a member of the Helicopter
Society and the Institute of Electronic & Electrical Engineers. He was a
very dedicated Christian who loved to give out. His great philanthropy
earned him numerous awards during his life time. Late Mr. Edwin Gabriel died
on the 16th day of February 2004 at the age of 90 years and his WILL is now
ready for execution.
Once I hear from you, I will then make ready all the required documents to
be in your name, so that we will apply through the probate registry to issue
you all the necessary documents which will be forwarded to the bank to
enable them release the money to you directly in any bank account of your
choice.
According to him this money is to support his Christian activities (may his
soul rest with the Lord) and to help the poor and needy.
Please if I reach you as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back to me as
soon as possible to enable me this mutual transaction. I hope to hear from
you as soon as you receive this letter.
If you are interested and willingly to work with me to claim this {US$5.1M)
which both me and you will share 50% - 50% between each other, I therefore
request that you send the following information to me:
1) Your Full names:
2) Your Occupation:
3) Your Age:
4) Your country of Origin and Nationality:
3) Telephone number and fax number if any:
Please contact me on this email: greg_martins01@sify.com or
