Good day! Knutson
Please pardon me as I am aware that this is not a conventional way of relaying such an important massage 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.
My name is Barrister Christopher Onyeka Agwu, I am a senior partner in the firm of Johnson Ward Consults Inc, London, United Kingdom, we are Private investigators,Security Consultants and Financial Managers. We are conducting a standard process investigation/Recommendation on behalf of Standard Chartered Bank Group (SCB), The African Investment Banking Conglomerate.
This investigation involves our client who bears the same surname with you Mr. Earl Knutson and also the circumstances surrounding his investments made by our client at {STANDARD CHARTERED BANK GOLD ACCOUNT} the Investment Banking arm of SCB. The SCB Private Investment client died intestate and nominated no successor in title over the investments made with the bank amounting to over {US$5.3Million} (Five Million Three Hundred thousand Dollars only).
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.
