Not dead yet
Meredith Black's message raises similar issues as those by Kristalina Georgieva's. Specifically, both ladies wanted me to confirm my status among the living. Which begs the question: if they receive no answer, is that really proof of death?
Attn , We wish to inform you that a power of attorney was forwarded to our office this morning, by two gentlemen regarding your unclaimed fund of $2.5 Million Dollar. One of them is an American citizen named Mr. Robert Porter and the other is Mr. Wilhelm Berg a Swedish citizen. The document claims these gentlemen to be your authorized representatives, and the power of attorney states that you are already deceased. It further states that your death was due to lung cancer, with your date of death being March 27th, 2020. They have now submitted a new account to replace the receiving account that was in the original claim of funds. These funds have remained unclaimed for quite some time and the need for resolution is pressing. Below is the new account they have submitted. Account Name's : Robert Porter /Wilhelm Berg Account: 5007-29 438 66 IBAN-nr: SE4150000000050072943866 Bic-kod: ESSESESS Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken. (SEB :) SWEDEN . In the event that you are in fact still alive, we ask that you confirm your existence by responding to this email. You are to view this as a matter requiring immediate attention and response. We have 48 hr monitoring of all activities within the Federal Reserve Bank. We have contacted the bank in Sweden asking them to wait for further directives from the Federal Reserve Bank, prior to authorizing any withdrawals in any form. Our request is based entirely on our attempt to verify that you are in fact deceased, before money is wrongly disbursed. Finally, we forewarn you that if we do not hear back from you shortly, we will have to assume that you are in fact deceased and the Federal Reserve bank will proceed with releasing funds to the above newly submitted account. Sincerely, Meredith Black meredithblack01121@outlook.com
In Kristal's case, I left her to contact a medium. But I'm in a good mood, so I decided to throw Merry a bone.
No, I'm not dead yet. Thanks for asking.
Black is back. Bloody hell, that was quick!

I don't want to waste her valuable time with unnecessary explanation, so I'm keeping it short and sweet.
Do not be surprised. I did not authorise them to act on my behalf because I've never heard of them.
She's obviously keen to get my
money to me. And on a Sunday, to boot! The problem is, it's not my money. I know I can be a bit woolly-headed at times, but I'm pretty sure that I'd remember $2.5M. After all, it's not the sort of thing that most of us are likely to forget. Is it?

I appreciate your efforts to direct these funds to me. I didn't realise that the Federal Reserve worked on a Sunday. I hope that you receive days off in lieu, or handsome overtime payment, as compensation and recognition for your tireless dedication to stamping out fraud.
Meredith never responded to my last message. I can only assume that the window for urgent action is closed, and I've lost all that lovely lucre. Oh well, easy come, easy go, I guess. (shrug)
