accounts with The International Trust Bank. At the time of his death, he had
US$10Million in these accounts. When I was notified of his death, I made
efforts to contact his immediate next of kin through your embassy in
Victoria Island, Lagos.

to contact any of his relatives was not successful. It was at this point I
get back to the Board of Directors of The International Trust Bank; they
told me that they would place Mr. Peter Kelly funds in a suspense account
pending when I will produce his relatives to claim the money. It was as a

Late Mr. Peter Kelly, as contained in my file and As soon as you confirm

the fund in your account, you shall assist me to invest my share into any
profitable business in your country for 2 years.
