Subject: OFFICE OF BARRISTER LEE.
Hello,
I am Barrister Lee Ying, an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine, that
shares the same last name as yours died as the result of a heart-related
condition on March 12th 2005. His heart condition was due to the death of all
the members of his family in the tsunami disaster on the 26th December 2004 in
Sumatra Indonesia. And in the record there is no known successor to this
deposit of the deceased who died without a will.

I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my
client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
this deposit valued at Eighteen million dollars is (US$18million dollars)
lodged. This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin.
Best regards,
Lee Ying,
Attorney at Law.
