Subject: FROM HANSON
FROM: MRS ANGELA MABATA
EMAIL: angelambata2@latinmail.com
I am MRS ANGELA MBATA 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.
AS soon as we make application, obtain the necessary approval, the money
will be paid through here or any of the banks payment centre overseas.
This will take us about 10 working days to conclude depending on how you
respond to our correspondence 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 =(
