Subject: Sequel to your non-response
Dear Friend,
Sequel to your non-response of our earlier letter to you on behalf of the Trustees and Executors to the Will of our late client , I wish to notify you that you were listed as a beneficiary to the total sum of£8,550,000.00GBP (Eight million Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand British Pounds) in the codicil and last testament of the deceased. Until his death he was a major share holder in big companies which include textile and construction companies. He was a very great philanthropist during his life time. He died on 9th January 2004 at the age of 68.He was buried on the 3rd of February. Even though he was a foreigner living and working here he requested before his death that he be buried here in his words, "I regard here as My home and the people as my people" We therefore reckoned that you can receive this funds as you are qualified by your name identity. All the legal papers will be processed on your response.In your acceptance of this deal, we request that you kindly forward any proof of identity of yours, your current telephone and fax numbers and forwarding address to enable us file necessary documents at our high court probate division for the release of this sum of money to you.
