Hello Dear,
First, I'm soliciting your utmost confidenciality in this Transaction.I am
DR KELVIN GREEN,the foreign Operations Manager Citi Bank Plc.One of our
customers who bears the same name with you, a national of your country, who
used to work with Chevron Oil Producing Company in Nigeria that died On the
26th of December 2003,on the single reason of visiting his in-laws. His
wife{A LEBANESE} and their only daughter were involved in a Plane crash on
their way home for the holidays and were among the 111 people confirmed
dead. Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy here to
locate any of his extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track over the
Internet, to locate any member of his family or relative hence I contacted
you.I'm taking this advantage in order to better my life and that of my
family. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at
US$20.7 million Left behind by our customer before it get Confiscated or
declared unserviceable by our bank where this huge amount was deposited
Our bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confiscated in the next six months. For the fact that I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives since then I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this
account can be paid to you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response,
we shall then discuss the percentage that is coming to me after the money is
been credited in your chosen account and the modalities for transfer. I
can assist in procuring the necessary information and legal documents that
may be needed to actualize this proposal since I will contract the services
of our bank accredited lawyer who will legally represent you here. All I
require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

also furnish me with your private telephone/fax or preferably your mobile
numbers and I will have to apply for the release and subsequent Transfer of
the fund in your favour.
