Got one of those letters from "Ayub Patel" at Lex Solicitors as well. Didn't realize they had an office in Houston. Anyway, sad to hear my relative "Liam" died 10 years ago and left a ton of cash. Looking at the contact information you can see the differences between these and the real contact information from the legit operation. Reminds me of the fun I had with a phone call from "Publishers Clearing House" a few years ago. A very legit-sounding mature guy had millions for me. When I asked why the "Prize Patrol" has not shown up on my doorstep with cameras, he blamed Covid. And when I offered just to drive over to Port Washington Long Island to pick up the check, he finally dropped the F-bomb and hung up. But he really worked long and hard on this one. Wasted at least 20 minutes of his time.
