30 Years after Dad’s Death, 3 Children Receive a Letter Saying to Meet in Forest near an Old Bridge – Story of the Day

Jacob was an old man who led a quiet and poor life. He mostly kept to himself but enjoyed volunteering with charities and teaching school children to play soccer. He was raised rich, but his father left him and his siblings nothing after he died. One day, he received a letter that would transform his life.

Jacob was a 67-year-old man who led an honest and quiet life. He had been a retired construction worker for more than 10 years and struggled to make ends meet. He was also a beloved member of his community. He spent a lot of time working with the local schools and teaching kids to play soccer.

One day, Jacob was collecting his mail from the mailbox when he saw a strange envelope with an unfamiliar address. When he opened it, it was a letter from John Douglas, his father’s lawyer. “This is strange, I haven’t heard anything from the man in 30 years,” he thought to himself.

The letter read: “Mr. Jacob Green, I was your father’s lawyer and he asked me to write you this letter 30 years after his death. He asked that you and your sisters Elin and Linda meet tomorrow in the forest near the old bridge. Below are the directions. Your sisters received the same letter.”

He decided to visit one of his neighbors to help him decide whether to go to the forest. “My friend, it’s nice to see you here,” said Karl as he opened the door to see Jacob standing outside. “Why are you here so early though? Is something bothering you?” Karl asked.

“You know me too well. I received a letter from my father’s lawyer this morning. Here, read it,” Jacob said as he gave his friend the letter.

“Wow! This is surprising. What’s the problem?” Karl asked.

“Well I’ve never told anyone this in many years, but my father was a very rich man. He owned a fleet of long-haul trucks and ran the business successfully for decades. When he died, his lawyer told us that my two sisters, Elin and Linda, and I, didn’t get anything,” Jacob said.

Karl was shocked at this revelation. “I know you and your sisters don’t talk but I didn’t know that your father was so wealthy,” he said.
