Dear Sir, 19/8/16

Dear Sir,

I have reached out to you essentially because of a transaction that requires a second party for its ultimate success. And it is with trust that I am writing to introduce myself to you, and share an experience with you which I believe should be mutually rewarding. My name is Mr. Joseph Ademola, a branch manager of a bank here in Lagos, and incidentally an account officer to Mr. Henry Wilson (who is now late). Until his death in 2009 in an industrial accident, Wilson was a senior petroleum engineer with the Shell oil company of Nigeria. The Shell oil company is indebted to Henry Wilson to the tune of US$25,000,000 from a running contract before his death. That is the reason for this vital contact with you. Now, based mainly on my several petitions to the government and Shell oil Nigeria for release and payment of this money to Wilson's family/relative, the Shell oil company has agreed to pay this amount to the family of Henry Wilson.

However, over these past years I have made several fruitless efforts at locating any family members or next of kin of Mr. Wilson, hence this contact to you. I have to state though that he remained single until his death at 52. I am writing to you because as his personal account officer, our the paying bank, which is our bank, has officially informed me, as instructed by the Shell oil company to forward the details of his next-of-kin within a specified time so that he/she could be paid the outstanding $25 Million, otherwise his payment shall be reverted to the government treasury as unclaimed bill. This is the reason why I am I writing to you. I want to present you to the bank as the only next-of-kin to Henry Wilson and demand that the fund be released and paid to you by right of inheritance.

I require your honest reply which will enable me provide you with more information and terms of the deal.

Best Regards,
Joseph Ademola.
