Sir,

Am attorney to Mr.Crutsinger. He died in a bomb explosion that took place on March 2005 lagos Nigeria. He was an oil consultant/contractor with NLNG. My client deposited the sum of US$10.5 Million dollars with a BANK.

The money, is still with the BANK. According to our banking law, after three years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government, If the account owner is certified death and no body comes forward to claim it.

All you have to do is to send me.
