Mr Victor Osadolor
Account Manager
City Trust Bank Plc
Lagos - Nigeria
Dear Friend ,
I am an Account Officer with CITY TRUST BANK PLC, My name is Mr Victor
Osadolor,a Banker. I am the personal Account Manager Of my Late Engr
{.A.S.},a National of your country,who used to work with an Oil servicing
Firm in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client, On April
21,2002 my client, was involved in a car accident along Sagamu express way.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I
have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client's
extended Relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name
over to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.I have
contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind
by my client before they Get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the (CITY TRUST BANK
PIC) Where the deceased had an account Valued at about ($10.5million us
dollars) has Issued me a notice to provide the next of kin. Or have the
account confiscated within the next ten official working day, The Nigeria
Banking Law on unclaimed benefits stipulates under section 7 subsections 10
cap.15 that once such unclaimed benefits have over- stayed a maximum period
of three (3)years, the account will become dormant and the money will be
confisicated.
And uptill now no body has come to claim the money for the last two years
and our bank has been notifying the Rotary club for the past one year.In
order to avert this negative development, I now seek your permission to have
you stand as a "NEXT-OF-KIN" to the Late Beneficiary so that the funds
US$10.5M will be released and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary
"NEXT- OF-KIN" for our mutual benefits.
I am assuring you that this transaction will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Dear friend,
because of my position as indigene its impossible for me to claim
directly,which is why your involvement was solicited.This transaction is
alifetime opportunity,which we cannot afford to lose. However, it wasn
deliberately designed to benefit me and you.Since I have been unsuccessful
in locating the relatives for over 2 years now,I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that this account valued
at ($ 10.5 million us dollars) can be paid to you .The sharing modality is
still open and negociatable.All I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you.from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me by my email: you are adviced to send me your
full information below;
1,YOUR FULL NAME.
2,YOUR MOBILE TELEPHONE AND FAX INCLUDING YOUR OFFICE AND HOME PHONE
NUMBER.
3,YOUR MAILING ADDRESS.
4,YOUR AGE AND OCCUPATION.
5,YOUR COMPANY NAME.
based on trust and honesty and as soon as i get that i shall send to you a
TEXT OF APPLICATION which you will send to the bank proposing for claims and
release of this fund.

Mr Victor Osadolor.
