Re: Can I accept an inheritance if I don't know I'm next of kin

Dear Sir,

Our advise to you is to completely disegrad this correspondence it is a case of pure fraud. There is likely no inheritance money or anything close to that.

This kind of correspondence is called "419" by us here in Nigeria after the criminal Act provision for the advance fee fraud.

Please disregard this correspondence.

Re: Can I accept an inheritance if I don't know I'm next of kin

If the inheritance was a bequest by will, there are usually named benificiaries. In the event that a person died intestated, a letter of administration is usually obtained before the property/estate can be administered. In this document the adminiatrators of the estate usually administers the estetae as they deem appropriate.

However, in recent times there has been unusual wave of internet scams using the inheritance bait.

It is necessary that you are extremely careful that you are not a target of a scam.
