S & R Lucas Pauline Mason 38 Yarrow Road 29 Glamis Road Lexport Lexport LX2 8V LX4 6TG 20 April 2023 2 April 2023 Dear [your name] Dear Rachel and Stephen I refer to our conversation about the gift I have made to your grandson, Daniel. I am writing to confirm our telephone conversation yesterday, about the estate of Pauline Thank you for agreeing to look after the shares for Daniel until he is 18. I attach the share Mason. certificate and a stock transfer form. I think that's everything you need me to do. Pauline invited Stephen and I to dinner on 18 March. During dinner, she announced that she Yours sincerely was giving her shares in Greville Haulage Ltd to our grandson, Daniel. She asked us if we would Pauline Mason (signed) look after the shares for Daniel until he is 18, and we both agreed. On 2 April, Pauline sent us a letter, a copy of which is attached. She enclosed the share Pauline Mason certificate and a stock transfer form. However, my sister was in hospital with a serious infection at that time. I spent a lot of time visiting her and was also very anxious, so I never even looked at the letter or its enclosures until after Pauline died. Pauline phoned me several times after she sent the letter, to ask me if I had dealt with the paperwork. I kept telling her that everything was in hand, but in reality I was just too worried about my sister even to think about anything else. I got the paperwork out a couple of days ago, planning to send it to Greville Haulage Ltd this week, but I noticed that Pauline had not signed the stock transfer form. I feel absolutely terrible about it, as I suppose it is now too late, isn't it? Immediately after Pauline died, Stephen and I went to Barclays Bank and asked for the box containing the jewellery that Pauline mentioned in her will. On opening the box, we found a number of valuable items of jewellery. However, there was also a note indicating that an emerald bracelet had been removed on 14 March and sent to Hawkes Jewellers. There was no emerald bracelet in the box, so I contacted Hawkes Jewellers to see if they still had it. I attach a copy of the letter they sent to me, and also the letter I subsequently received from Julie Armitage. You will see she claims the bracelet belongs to her, but Abigail Mason is furious and nsists that she is entitled to it. I do hope you can sort everything out. Yours sincerely Rachel Lucas
