Greetings!!!
I wish to seek your advice and guidance, if you could perhaps provide me detailed information as you share the same last name with our late client who died along with his entire family in December 26, 2004 during the Indian Ocean Tsunami Earthquake that occurred in the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia while on christmas vacation.

I am Courtenay Griffiths QC, an Attorney and the Personal lawyer to the deceased. I would like to know if you are related and I would be delighted to have you as the Next of Kin to the deceased. I have been mandated to provide his Next of Kin by his bankers because it is legally incumbent on me to do so as the attorney to the deceased.

I decided to take my chance with you to have you stand as his Next of Kin as I have secured from the Probate Registry an order of mandamus to locate any member of his family to stand as the Next of Kin and sole beneficiary of his deposit with the Bank.

Your earliest response is appreciated to enable me conclude this matter is good time without delays.

Thank you for your kind attention in anticipation of your response ASAP.

Regards,

Courtenay Griffiths QC
London.
