GOOD DAY ,
I am DR OLEKU WILLIAMS, Divisional Head with the INTERNATIONAL TRUST BANK
PLC. I was the personal account manager to one late MR. JIM SOLATA , who
till his death was a contractor with Impressario Nigeria Limited, Moenier
Oil & Gas Consult and Nigerian Ports authority.
On June 2002, MR. JIM SOLATA, his wife and their two children were involved
in a car accident along Gwagwalada express road and all occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. At the time of his death, JIM SOLATA
had a deposit of USD$18.4Million which was proceed of a contract work he
just concluded with the NNPC. The payment was made with a bank cheque which
I personally cleared.
Unfortunately, till this moment no one has come as his relation for his
deposit with us. My colleagues and I humbly request your attention to this
matter so that we can present you as his next of kin or beneficiary to his
deposit. It is not a very difficult thing to do. All we need is to change
the name and particulars of his next of kin to yours in our computer
database and we file in an application for the release of the fund through
the Probate Office in your name. It does not necessarilly mean that you must
be here to conclude the deal, we may request that the money be sent to
Europe or even the United States for payment. Please contact me as quickly
as possible on We will talk about the sharing ratio as soon as you get in
touch with me,providing your telephone number and other particulars of
yourself. olekuwilliams@eresmas.com
\PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE THE GIVEN EMAIL ADDRESS

Kind regards,
DR OLEKU WILLIAMS
