Subject: Ref: Information about Your late Relation/Family member - Final Notice!
Compliment,
Ref: Information about Your late Relation/Family member - Final Notice!
This is our second but final attempt to reach you in view of this subject
matter.
When someone dies without leaving a will and there's no known relative to
inherit, the government receives the money. Unless, a previously unknown distant
relative; a descendant from the same ancestor is found within a limited time
frame at the discretion of the treasury department to claim the inheritance as
laid out in section 46 of the Administration of Estates and Inheritance Act 1975
(with As stated in our previous letter, we are legally empowered to track and
reunite unclaimed funds with distant relatives of people who have died without
making a will or known next of kin and after an extensive genealogical research
effort, we have traced a dormant termed deposit bank account with your family
name and the account has a total of GBP£12,200,000.00 on it now tagged
"unclaimed funds" which you are legally entitled to. The bank is compelled by
the laws to hand over the funds (as unclaimed funds) to the government if no
claim is made immediately. Apparently, the funds belongs to one of your family
members who reportedly died intestate five years ago leaving behind a
substantial amount of money in the bank account unattended.
The money is yours (or your family's), not the bank's or the Government's. It's
legally yours on positive proof of your identity being a distant relative of the
deceased on forth degree ("statutory legacies"), a descendant from the same
ancestor before the bank is compelled by law to hand the money to the
government.
Important Note: we have been retained by two senior officials of the bank (The
deceased Account Officers) to administer the estate and reunite you with the
dormant account because you have been identified and located as the only
suitable heir apparent to the estate with the same last name and our initial
consultation is free, yes, it's free but we will charge a contingency fee of 5%
of the total sum (GBP£12,200, 000.00) when recovered from the bank.
It might interest you to know that every year in United Kingdom thousands of
people (especially foreigners) die without leaving a will or known next of kin
thereby forfeiting so much money to the government as unclaimed estate. There is
a time limit at the discretion of the Treasury Department when claiming such
inheritance hence the need to act swiftly to reconcile this account.
In a recent news report, "there is currently more than GBP£30 billion in
unclaimed money and with the total of unclaimed money rising faster than people
claiming, it is projected that in the year 2020 there could be as much as GBP£40
billion of unclaimed money. Aging population is adding more significantly to
this number". This is what prompted us to locate you and legally empower you to
claim the estate before it becomes too late.
In compliance with standard requirements of the federal disclosure and privacy
laws which prohibit us from revealing certain privileged information without due
process, we intentionally left out certain information which we deemed
proprietary at this point and to enable us double-check our record and ensure
that you are indeed the addressee of this letter, we need you to reconfirm your
information by providing us with your full names (no initial please); your date
of birth; your current occupation; contact address and your telephone/fax
numbers. Once we reconfirm your information and endorse same appropriately, we
shall provide you with all the privileged information/legal documents relating
to the deceased customer and his term-deposit account and also will give you
guidelines on how we intend to realize this goal without the breach of the law.
We would respectfully request that you treat the content of this letter as
privileged and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result
of this correspondence.
Contact this law office immediately for more information and to begin the legal
process of redeeming your lawful entitlement before the bank is compelled by law
to hand over the money to the government. If you wish to contact me via my
alternative email, feel free to do so at Fax: 709-298-3720 and bellgeo@blumail.org.
Waiting for your reply.
