Who here has ever had an event it their life that is the subject of our lads scripts.

unclaimed funds, won a lottery, etc.

I had unclaimed funds expereince.

My experience was I went to a government web site. Found my name and snail mail address. I contacted the agency and they sent me a form that had to be notarized. I did so and sent it back. Within a week or two I had a state issued check.

It was a pretty small check and I think it was for jury service.

A friend of mine was recently robbed while on holidays and I had to send her some money with WU so she could eat and take a cab to the airport. I admit that I briefly thought about sending her to $ecurity $hield or MTCN $ecure before giving her the MTCN, but managed to control myself.

I received a real job opportunity thru email but didn't take it. But I know it's legit

I once got a job offer to my university email address. It sounded almost too good to be true but I contacted the sender anyway. Consequently, he travelled to my country and I got the job which was also rather unbelievable but totally honourable and very interesting. For example, I had to meet ambassadors, university managers and other high ranking persons. I was supposed to travel too but I had to quit before I made any trips because I was busy finishing my degree.

Strangely, I never found out how they got my address and they couldn't explain it either.

I occasionally do test development and test scoring work on line from my home computer for two companies who contacted me via email. They are both affiliated with a company for whom I worked after completing my BA and before starting my civil service career, so I knew they were legit.

About 15 -20 yrs ago my sister advised me that my name was listed in the newspaper in Texas in the "unclaimed money" section which gets put out once a yr. When i inquired I found that i had a small oil royalty check outstanding. Its was only about $300 at the time but ever since i have been receiving a check quarterly, its usually only a bit over $150 annually, and i have no idea where it came from but all my information matched.

THE OFFICE OF <lawyer name>
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
ABOGADO NOTARIO LICENCIADO <name>

DEAR <my name>:

WE HAVE FOUND AN INHERITANCE DUE YOU FROM YOUR UNCLE <name>. KINDLY SIGNE THE ENCLOSED POWER OF ATTORNEY, GET IT NOTARIZED, AND TAKE IT TO THE COUNTLY CLERK TO GET IT AUTHENTICATED. THEN RETURN IT TO ME ALONG WITH A CERTIFIED COPY OF YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

The POA was in Spanish and my aunt decided we need to name someone else, so she typed up an altered copy, sent it to the other two of us and told us to get it notarized. I could not take it to the County Clerk because the notary is registered in a different county than I and her office are located. I had to send it to the Secretary of State and get an apostille (Puerto Rican law is different enough). To get the SoS to authenticate it, I had to send a translation. In preparing the translation I noticed some errors, such as wrong gender of words (she had left something in the feminine when referring to me), and she noticed some too. So we had to get it notarized again. After we all have our copies notarized, authenticated, and sent to PR, the lawyer decides he needs to prepare a version in English. He apparently took a Google-translated version - not one of ours - and fixed some words, but left a Spanish word and some bad grammar in the text. I complained but he told us to do it anyway. I got the apostilled document back last week and just sent it to PR today.

I've also been dealing with an inheritance from my mother. (I had to send the attorney in PR my birth certificate because my mother, not I, is named in the will.) This isn't nearly as hard because my mother died in the same state I live in.
