states that the deceased had a total of 28.80 M POUNDS in a Deposit Account
and after further investigation,It was discovered also that the deceased has
no other living relatives to claim this money.Thus of course informed my

It is noteworthy to mention that the deceased and his entire family perished
off the Coast of Bermuda on a sailing cruise some years back and we all
effort to find any surviving relative proved abortive.

to your account accordingly.
