ATTN/ Esther Duin,
I am BARRISTER EMANUEL MOKASI, Esq. A solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to late (Eng.A.C.Matt) a foreigner who used to work with TEXACO an Oil Servicing Company here in Togo, and he was the principal owner and Director of DALLARS CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTAINANCE INC. here in Lome-Togo with its branches at Accra in Ghana and Cotonou in Benin Republic. Herein after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 18th of December 2004, my client, his wife and their only daughter travelled to their country IRAN on holiday and unfortunately, they were involved in an Earthquake which occurred in Bam on the 26th of December 2004 in IRAN which claim about 25 thousand lives in the Earthquake .
Since the earthquake I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has proved unsuccessful.
I am contacting you based on the fact that my client deposited one trunk BOX as a family treasure with a security company here in LOME-TOGO valued at US$45.5 million of which he handed over the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT with me as his lawyer.
And I also ask him then why he choose to deposit the fund/BOX in a security company rather than bank, He told me that it was due to political instability in TOGO and that he was assured by the Manager of the security company that he can claim his BOX from any of their Branch Offices in EUROPE and ASIA countries For the fact that I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives since the earthquake occurred, I hereby seek your consent to present you as the relative or the business partner to my late client.
All I want from you is maximum co-operation to enable us make the claim of these Box to our benefit.
I have all the necessary information that will guide you to the successful claim of these BOX and legal POWER OF ATTORNEY that will make you the beneficiary of the BOX will be prepared by me as his attorney. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I to this effect.
NOTE THAT I INTEND TO SHARE THE FUND AS FOLLOWS:40% FOR YOUR
PARTICIPATION, 50% FOR ME AND 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may
arise during the time of transaction and also telephone bills.
Your urgent reply is needed here.
Best regards,
BARRISTER EMANUEL MOKASI, Esq.
