I have received comments against this blog post from other far flung relatives of mine (obviously we all have to be related otherwise why would they be contacted?) who have googled the solicitor's name and address.
Today I received another email offering me the sum of $35.7 million left by a Diamond Industrialist called Omar Bin Abd Al-Aziz.
I am confused. Omar Bin Abd Al-Aziz was an Umayyed Caliph according to Wikipedia, who ruled from 717 to 720 AD. Why did it take so long for his request to reach this 'ex-Attourney'? This is certainly a slow process - it's taken nearly 1200 years. And Wikipedia mentions nothing about diamonds either. Although I am sure being a Caliph, he probably had some.
One thing I do know - my date of birth is certainly NOT 16 Sep 2009.... and even if it was, I still wouldn't have fallen for this awful mix up of a letter.. see below.

Who falls for this kind of rubbish. I assume someone is still falling for it otherwise there would be no point in sending the stuff out. Sometimes I am almost tempted to get back in touch with them just to discover what the next stage of the process is.

ReplyDeleteon the brighter side, i think he was my relative as well :)
