Description
A letter sent by USPS regular delivery was sent to my address claiming to be a partner at Peter Abbott LLP, a distinguished law firm based in Canada. They started that an unclaimed “permanent life insurance policy” from one of their clients who passed way four years ago due to COVID-19 complications. This person has my family surname and a family first name but from differing sides of the my relations. They claimed she was a respected Stock Broker and retired CPA, leaving a parable on death savings account worth $10,800,020.00. They propose to give 10% of that amount to charity and the remaining 90% will be equitable shares between me and them 50% each. Peter Abbott is the Principal Solicitor. And they used other legalese verbiage to tempt them receiver (me) into initiating contract. This was dated Ottawa Sep 14, 2025. And referenced as PTALLP/5574-25
