Subject: Are you related to Engineer Walter.J.
Let me first of all inform you, your Name and email address was
sourced via the internet by a genealogist that I engaged to help me.
My dear,please consider this mail serious despite the fact that you
did not expect it.
I am Dr Andrew Johnson, I am a medical consultant at Manhyia
Hospital,Kumasi, Ghana and a personal physician and a good friend to
Engineer Walter J. who died as a result of brain tumor 4 months ago.
He owned construction firm here that had completed a road
construction contract and had received part of the contract sum as
mobilization.
The reason why I am contacting you is because you share the same
surname with the deceased engineer. The situation also is such that I
am legally bound as the executor and administrator of his estate to
present any relation/next of kin to his estate specifically for the
contract balance which he left for his daughter,Jane.As I write you
this email I don’t know where Jane is as she left with the mother
after their divorce(that’s engineer’s Ex-wife now remarried). He was
not in touch with them in recent years till his sudden death.
If the payment in question is not claimed within a specified time as
ordered by the Contract Payment Office (CPO),the payment will be
canceled and labeled UNCLAIMED CONTRACT PAYMENT.This means total
loss,it needs to be avoided by all means.
Please let me know if you are in any way related to the late engineer.
Sincerely,
Dr Andrew Johnson
