erable amount. I am not interested in their money, I just want to know if my father may have left me anything.

“If it was confirmed that there was some sort of inheritanc­e, why wouldn’t I be interested? It is something he would have wanted me to have, isn’t it?

“My father was known as the ‘People’s Sultan’ – everybody liked him, from what I have researched. I am sure he would want the best for me.”

Keith says even if he was left nothing, it would still mean the world to him for the family to simply pick up the phone.

Keith said: “To be honest, I find it sad and a little annoying they are ignoring me. At one point we were in touch all the time and they even agreed to a DNA test. But now they cannot even return an email.

“It is sad. I just want to get to know them and learn about my father. I am convinced he knew about me.

Keith is also writing a book about his incredible story, which he hopes to publish soon. KEITH WILLIAMS ON HIS QUEST FOR ANY INHERITANC­E
