Subject: PARTNERSHIP
Dear Friend,
Please treat this with extreme importance and urgency it requires. I am Mark Kanka, i was by his divine grace alive today to share my story and great favour with you.I am a Togolese National but at the moment resident in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, i have been a trained machinist and was working as a Contractual Casual Staff in the Gulf Country of Iraq where i lived until the Iraq war that toppled the Government of Saddam Hussein.In the cause of this war i lost everything i have achieved including my wife and only child, this event of my life became the opportunity cost of the loss of my entire achievement.One faithful night, in the city of Baghdad, i heard a laud bang sound of an explosion, as we were running for our dear lives, we ran into some American soldiers who volunteered to protect us by taking us to an unknown camp. The following day, one of the soldiers who identified himself to me as the Command Sgt. Maj. Edward C. Barnhill of the 431st Civil Affairs Battalion, Civil Affairs Brigade, promised me that he would ensure my escape to any country of my choice if only i could keep safe his personal luggage and boxes.Few weeks after i was packaged as a refugee with special consideration with the Red Cross through the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Baghdad to North Africa from where i got my way to Cotonou, Republic of Benin where i have been.Furtherance to this, these luggage and boxes were equally arranged and packaged under my name and identity as my personal belongings. With the sole supervision and monitoring of these officers, the boxes were designed to be destinated or enrouted to Europe where it has been deposited under a Diplomatic Security Coverage and can only be released to me or to whoever i nominate and attest to take custody of these boxes.Unfortunately, i lost my family whom i was assured by these officers to equally join me as soon as i left Iraq and more so, i got the information that Maj. Edward C. Barnhill who arranged this died in the cause of the war and i have not equally heard from his colleagues.I would want you at this point to note that each of the two boxes contain the sum of ($5,000.000.00) Five million United States Dollars. I would want to nominate and authorise you to claim custody of these boxes. You can read through this web link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm
In honesty, after claiming these two trunk boxes from Security Company in Europe, you shall have 40% of total funds, disburse 20% to Reliable Charity Organisations of your choice and make available to me 40% of the total sum for my private investment in your country.In response to this, i would want your full contact information including your private Telephone/Fax numbers for easy communication, thereafter, i would give you all the necessary documents and procedures needed to claim this funds.Thank you,Mark Kanka,Email Address: mark_kanka@yahoo.ie
