He was born in Queensland and died in a family car accident which occured 21st November, 2004. Also stated he deposited US$8,650,000.00 with one of the banks in Portugal and the bank has asked to find a relative/next of kin or all unclaimed monies will be reverted to Government Recovery Fund.

Thanks for your e-mail regarding the letter which I sent to you about late engineer Palmer Goeldner who died on a car accident with his family on 21st of Nov 2004 when they were coming back from church. Ever since his death, nobody has been able to come as his next of kin because he died along side with his wife and little child during the accident and his bank has been sending messages to me, that I should present any of his relative, so that they will be able to transfer his fund to his relative, or the fund will be confiscate into government recovery fund as unclaimed money.

So if you are interested, I will present you to the bank as a distance relative of late engineer Palmer Goeldner and back it up with all the necessary documents, so that the bank can confirm it immediately and commence work on the fund release and I have already discussed with the bank officials regarding the fund release and they said that we should send a FUND RELEASE APPLICATION FORM once we are ready for the clam, so if you are ready, I will arrange the FUND RELEASE APPLICATION FORM and forward it to you, so that you will contact the bank with the application form.

Note: Nobody knows about the inheritance and nobody can get the required documents, because late engr. Palmer Goeldner died along side with her wife and son during the car accident and his son was the next of kin to the fund and since his death, the bank is requesting for any of his relatives, so that they can be able to transfer the fund to any of his relative and since you are sharing the same last name with late engr. Palmer Goeldner, the bank will acknowledge you once the receive the fund release application form, and I am giv-ing you 100% assurance that all the process will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will legally protect both of us.

So kindly get back to me, so that I will advice you on what to do, so that we can complete the process with-out further delay and do not forget to send your Mobile Number, Land-line and Fax Number, so that I can contact you through phone when needed.

If you have any question, do not hesitate to contact me via email or phone, anticipating for your prompt re-ply.

At Your Service,

GRAY & ASSOCIATES

  • Hi there,
    Had the exact same one, except with MY surname on it. I am 27 years old and still live with my folks. I recently just had the phone and internet Bill (Optus, not sure if that means anything) changed to my name (Used to be my fathers).
    before that my father received at least 3 of these same letters in the last few years (I cannot say how far apart they were).

    LEt me know how you go with your complaint. good luck!
