After your reply to above email by contacting the acclaimed company above you will ask to pay a certain fee or ask you to contact a lawyer outside your city which the "Normally female name" will recommend. The lawyer then will request for a fee which normally range in thousands of Dollars( Which is pretty small next to the amount you want to claim).
No need to proceed atleast by this stage you understand the trick.
