Description

My father was sent a letter addressed to his name from a "solicitor" named Douglas McNiven of McNiven Law in Yellowknife, NT. The cover letter however also had the name and address of a Peter Abbott from Ottawa. The letter stated "I am reaching out concerning an unclaimed permanent life insurance policy from a late client who unfortunately passed away approximately 4 years ago due to COVID-19 complications" who left behind a Payable on Death sum of $10,800,020.00." They went on to offer a proposal that 90% of the monies be split 50/50 between them and my father and 10% to charity. My father never responded to the following email addresses ([email protected] cc: [email protected]) provided in the letter.
