- My Dear Sir/Maddam, I am compelled to contact you in respect of this urgent matter having found your name in my search for the relatives of late Engineer MARK, who was until his untimely death a contractor in my country. My Name is Mr. MR JONES CURTIS,I am the sole administrator and executor of the late contractor's estate. By virtue of my status, I have been called upon to present his Next of Kin within a limited period of time to claim and receive a certain amount of money that is due to him before his death. If the FUND in question is not claimed within the specified time as ordered by the Contract Payment Office, the payment will be cancelled and labeled UNCLAIMED CONTRACT PAYMENT, It will be lost forever.
