I am CHRISTOPHER GNASSINGBE a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney
to late Engr.A.C.Steve, 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 aftershall
be referred to as my client. On the 18th of December 2003, my client, his
wife and their only daughter travelled to their country IRAN on holiday and
unfotunantely, they were involved in an Earthquake which occoured in Bam on
the 26th of December 2003 in IRAN which claim about 25 thausand 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$9.5
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
instablity inTOGO 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 unsuccesfull in locating
the relatives since the earthquake occoured, 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 beneficary 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:20%FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION,65% FOR ME AND 15% will be set aside to
take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transaction and also
