We study lepton flavor number violating rare B decays, b{yields}sl{sub h}{sup {+-}}l{sub l}{sup {+-}}, in a seesaw model with low scale singlet Majorana neutrinos motivated by the resonant leptogenesis scenario. The branching ratios of inclusive decays b{yields}sl{sub h}{sup {+-}}l{sub l}{sup {+-}} with two almost degenerate singlet neutrinos at TeV scale are investigated in detail. We find that there exists a class of seesaw model in which the branching fractions of b{yields}s{tau}{mu} and {tau}{yields}{mu}{gamma} can be as large as 10{sup -10} and 10{sup -9} within the reach of Super B factories, respectively, without being in conflict with neutrino mixings and mass-squared difference of neutrinos from neutrino data, invisible decay width of Z, and the present limit of Br({mu}{yields}e{gamma}). In the model, the lepton number asymmetries are vanishing.
