I AM BARRISTER AGYEI DENNIS, THE PERSONAL ATTORNEY TO MR. ALI EL ASHGAR,
A NATIONAL OF A COUNTRY SAUDI, WHO USES TO WORK WITH SHELL DEVELOPMENT
COMPANY LOME-TOGO. ON THE 21ST OF OCTOBER 2001, MY CLIENT, HIS WIFE AND
THREE CHILDREN WERE INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ALONG THE HILLAKONDJI
EXPRESS ROAD IN TOGO. ALL OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE UNFORTUNATELY LOST
THEIR LIVES. SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE SEVERAL EFFORTS TO LOCATE ANY OF MY
CLIENTS EXTENDED RELATIVES, THIS HAS PROVED UNSUCCESSFUL. AFTER THESE
SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS, I DECIDED TO TRACE HIS RELATIVES OVER THE
INTERNET, TO LOCATE ANY MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY TO ASSIST IN REPATRIATING
THE MONEY AND OTHER PROPERTIES LEFT BEHIND BY MY CLIENT BEFORE THEY GET
CONFISCATED OR DECLARED UNSERVICEABLE BY THE SECURITY COMPANY, WHERE THIS
HUGE DEPOSITS WERE LODGED.
PARTICULARLY, SECURITY COMPANY WHERE THE DECEASED HAD A DEPOSIT VALUE OF
US$35.000.000.00 (THIRTY-FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) CASH. THE
COMPANY HAS ISSUED ME A NOTICE TO PROVIDE THE NEXT OF KIN OR HAVE THE
DEPOSIT CONFISCATED WITHIN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS. SINCE I HAVE BEEN
UNSUCCESSFUL IN LOCATING THE RELATIVES FOR ABOUT TWO (2) MONTHS NOW, I
SEEK YOUR CONSENT TO PRESENT YOU AS THE NEXT OF KIN OF MY DECEASED CLIENT
TO ENABLE US TAKE OVER THE PROCEEDS OF THIS DEPOSIT VALUE OF US$35
MILLION DOLLARS BE PAID TO YOU AND THEN YOU AND ME WILL SHARE THE MONEY.
I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU ARE IN ANYWAY RELATED TO HIM, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT,
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU WILL BE INTERESTED TO DO THIS BUSINESS WITH ME. IF
YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PROPOSAL, I WILL WANT US TO HAVE A MEETING TO
ENABLE US AGREE ON THE MODALITIES TO DO THE BUSINESS AND THE SHARING
RATIO AND ALSO THE METHODS TO CARRY OUT THE OPERATION.
ABOVE ALL THE MEETING WILL AFFORD US THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW OURSELVES
AND TO KNOW THE ROLES TO BE PLAYED BY ANY OF US. I HAVE ALL NECESSARY
LEGAL DOCUMENTS THAT CAN BE USED TO BACK UP ANY CLAIM WE MAY MAKE. ALL I
REQUIRE IS YOUR HONEST COOPERATION TO ENABLE US SEEING THIS DEAL THROUGH.
I GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL BE EXECUTED UNDER A LEGITIMATE ARRANGEMENT
THAT WILL PROTECT YOU FROM ANY BREACH OF LAW. YOU HAVE TO ASSURE ME OF
YOUR HONESTY AND SINCERITY THAT YOU WILL NOT SIT ON THE FUND WHEN IT IS
FINALLY CLAIMED TO ENABLE US FORGE AHEAD IMMEDIATELY.
PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME THROUGH THESE MY PRIVATE CONTACTS.
