Dear Sir/ Madam

On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late Mr. Allen Gray, I once again try to notify you as my earlier letter was returned undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach you again by this same email address on the WILL. I wish to notify you that late Mr. Allen Gray made you a beneficiary to his WILL. He left the sum of USD$15,000,000.00 (Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars only) to you in the codicil and last testament to his WILL.

This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true. Being a widely traveled man, he must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous friends abroad who wished you good. Mr. Allen Gray until his death was a member of the Helicopter Society and the Institute of Electronic & Electrical Engineers. He was a very dedicated Christian who loved to give out. His great philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his lifetime.

Late Mr. Allen Gray died on the 16th day of February 2019 at the age of 90 years and his WILL is now ready for execution. According to him, allocating this fund to you and other beneficiaries, he instructed that you were to use part of the funds to promote his legacy through activities that aim to help the old, poor, needy and disabled in the society. Late Allen Gray' legacy is the love of charity
Please if I reach you as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back to me as soon as possible to enable me conclude my job. I hope to hear from you in no distant date.

Yours in His service,
Barrister Alex Williams Esq.
