Edmund Briggs is a man down on his luck. Jobless with no prospects he has just lost his last few pounds on a horse race. |
 |
One day whilst looking through his mail he finds an envelope addressed to himself and marked 'private'. The letter contains a man's name, a photograph and the words, "WHEN THIS MAN DIES YOU WILL RECIEVE £2000" |
 |
He thought at first it was a prank, but a week later a small parcel arrives containing a short note and £2000. The note simply said, "THANK YOU".
He was overjoyed at his legacy. |
| It was several days later that the second letter arrived ................. | |
