SIR:

I am assured that a fortune of several millions of marks left by one John Müller, who died in some part of Germany two

545

or three centuries ago, is held at the imperial treasury awaiting heirs. My grandmother's name was Miller. Please look the matter up and inform me as to my rights.

Yours truly,
JOHN MYERS.
P.S. If you succeed in getting the money, I will be glad to pay you handsomely for your services.
