The
only thing truly remarkable about this "inheritance notice" is that it
came in the form of an actual letter via snail mail from Canada. It
seems that I am the nearest surviving relative of a man who died
intestate in Canada. Since the account has now been dormant for ten
years I am eligible to file for it as the nearest surviving relative,
after paying various fees and investigative costs of course.
There
are just a few things sort of strange about the letter though. The
envelope has a printed on bulk stamp from Canada with no return
address. The letter is not letterhead on plain white paper, also with
no return address anywhere. It is allegedly from a "reputable bank"
(the letter mentioned that once or twice) but is not signed, nor does it
give the actual name of the actual bank anywhere in the text, or even a
phone number. Just an androgynous name and an email address.
Now
perhaps I am just a suspicious individual, but somehow I feel that
there is not $9.2 million dollars for me at the end of this particular
rainbow. But that's OK as I am going to win the $970 million lottery
prize tomorrow so the $9.2 million will become chump change.
