Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Vicent Ovakporie senior manager accounts/audit department, in Union
Bank Plc 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.

Christian Eich Mason

unsuccessful in locating the
relatives since I was re-called back to marina branch as a senior manager
