Ég fékk bréf sent frá að því virðist lögfræðingi sem segir að ég sé mögulega erfingi að 5.3 millj. dollar arfi og biður mig um ýmsar upplýsingar sem virðast vera frekar saklausar. Ég ákvað að kíkja á netið og skoða þetta nánar og eins og mig grunaði þá er þetta bara svikamylla. Þetta virkar mjög raunverulegt, sérstaklega þar sem hann virðist starfa fyrir mjög virt lögfræðifyrirtæki sem heitir Kirkland and Ellis og er alþjóðlegt fyrirtæki en þegar skoðuð er heimasíðan þeirra þá er þessi lögfræðingur ekki til þarna. Ég ætla að láta fylgja afrit af þessu bréfi hérna til þess að vara aðra við að svara svona bréfum.

Good day! XXXXdóttir

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.
