Please pardon me as I am aware that this is not a conventional way of relaying an important
message such as this. I did try without success to locate either your contact address or fax
number and as such, I resorted in contacting you via email.

amounting to over SEVEN Million US Dollars. The essence of this communication with you is to
request that you provide us information/comments on any or all of the four issues as regards
nominating you to inherit the fund left behind by this client.

to the ADB towards legally appointing you to inherit this investment fund after certified
