Dear Friend,

Chritian Eich Mason, who was a consultant with Shell-development company in Nigeria and a
personal friend Died and left behind his deposit in this bank Union Bank Plc valued $41
Million Dollars.
My relationship with Chritian Eich Mason started in year 1999 when I was a supervisor in
Union Bank Plc . We met in my social club annual end of the year party and I introduced him
to my bank where he opened this account some few weeks later making me the account officer
to the account and he operated this account until his death.
On the 21st of July 2003, Chritian Eich Mason, Air France concord lane crash bound for New
York in their plan for a world ruise. All passengers of the plan unfortunately lost their
ives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of Chritian
Eich Mason extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
To prevent the bank to claim this money I know decided to contact any body from your
country, I decided to contact you via your email address with hope to get this money out of
the bank.
This is the web site of this tragedy that struck on that faithful day.

since the bank has declared the account unserviceable. I have been unsuccessful in locating
the relatives since I was re-called back to marina branch as a senior manager from a
transfer that took me to another branch of the bank.
I therefore seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased , so that
the proceeds of this account valued at $41 Million Dollars can be paid to your account
