Point: Jack Bauer Cannot Help Recover Your Money, Mr. Rakotozafy (I can)
by Nina Myers

Mr. Rakotozafy, let me start off by giving my condolences on the loss of your father. Any friend of the king of Togo is a friend of mine. In your state of grief, it is best not to make any rash decisions. Therefore, having Jack Bauer recover your family fortune is a grave mistake. Trust me.

I hear that someone you trusted killed a family member. You don't know how close to home that hits.

Luis, you cannot trust Jack Bauer with your fortune of $8.5 million. You only know Jack through emails, he's a different person in real life and he's only out for blood. Yes, he may be able to find the man who killed your father, torture him, and then kill him in a dramatic fashion towards the end of an hour. But what happens next? Does he get you the money or is he off to avenge some other wrong? Knowing Jack Bauer, he'd just find some excuse to leave you with the family fortune still in Africa, while he claims that he doesn't have time for your troubles. He may even get suspicious of you and have you tortured (just ask Richard Heller). Even worse, he may pawn you off on his idiot daughter, Kim Bauer.

Mr. Rakotozafy, your family has been through too much and has a long way to go. Don't make a mistake by choosing the first person who offers to help, espically Jack Bauer. Do some research and you will see that I would be your best chance of recovering your money. As for the 20% you are offering, I need at least 30%, 12 henchmen, and a car. The clock is ticking.
