Subject: FROM HANSON
FROM; MR HUGOMA AKRIKA
EMAIL:( hugoma_akrika2@latinmail.com )
Sir,
I am MR HUGOMA AKRIKA a Banker in one of the leading Commercial Banks here
in Nigeria.I contacted you based on a mutual business transaction that I
would want us to handle in confidence and hope you can understand the need
for us to do this and for you to STAND IN for it.
One MR MOGAN HANSON and his wife. died in a ghastly motor accident while on
a business trip on the 24th of August 2002.The said couple had no children
and was about 63years old before their death. He never identified with
anybody as his relative and investigation made could not trace any relative
to the late couple.
Before his death, he has the sum of $12,755,889.00 usd made from contracts
he executed with Oil Companies here in Nigeria and the proceeds are with our
Commercial Bank. Few weeks ago, the Bank tried requesting that the next of
KIN to the deceased should come up to claim his fund deposited with our
Bank. I am the Manager in charge of unclaimed funds hence my contacting you
to stand in as the next of Kin. After much effort made to locate any of
their relation failed, I decided to contact you as to have you stand in as
the next of KIN to claim the fund so that the bank will not declare the
account dormant, freeze or confiscate the amount as they stated in the
letter sent to my Department.
If you can stand in, I assure you that this is risk free as I will advise
you on what to do to have this fund moved to your account and we can agree
on terms of sharing. All you have to do is to consent to this by giving me
the go ahead to have you presented to the Bank as the next of kin
through a lawyer. I will tell you how to get a lawyer but it has to be
confidential who will apply and present you as the next of KIN.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
AS soon as we make application, obtain the necessary approval, the money
will be paid through here or any of the bank's payment centres overseas.
This will take us about 10 working days to conclude depending on how you
respond to correspondences.
If you are willing to stand in as the next of Kin, send to me your full
names, telephone numbers for us to discuss and to brief you on the procedure
that has to be taken to have this transaction concluded within a short
period of time.
Note that we will have to reach an agreement on the> shearing of the fund as
you have to agree to give me my own share as soon as you receive the money
to your account. You contact me ONLY through my private email
=(hugoma_akrika5@latinmail.com)
I look forward to hearing from you.
MR HUGOMA AKRIKA
