NOTIFICATION OF BEQUEST

On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late Engr. Reinhard Hermann, I once again try to notify you as my earlier letter returned undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach you again by this same email address on the WILL.  I wish to notify you that Late Engr. Reinhard Hermann made you a beneficiary to his WILL.  He left the sum of seven million five hundred thousand United States Dollars ($7,500.000.00 USD) to you in the codicil and last testament to his WILL.

Please if I reach you this time 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 time through the email address below.

Sincerely yours,
