None of my family here in Namibia or South Africa could recall relatives in Togo, and when I requested this " Barrister " to send me birth dates and full names he just insisted on everything being legal and needed bank details from me. I never replied again, and my internet search placed him under Nigerian scams. You won't believe all the scam-mails I received after that one. And me being so gullable to believe and trust people , I almost fell for the joke. Someone also sent me a mail to warn me to stay off the rootsweb website as the feds investigate the scams going on there. Enjoy your Easter. Charlotte Hays
