Subject: sorry for intruding(please read)
Dear friend,
This is a proposal in context but actually an appeal soliciting for
your
unreserved assistance in consummating an urgent transaction requiring
maximum confidence. Though this approach appears desperate, I can
assure you
that whatever questions you would need to ask or any other thing you
will
need to know regarding this proposal will be adequately answered to
give you
a clearer understanding of it, so as to arrive at a successful
conclusion.
My name is Isata Ejercito Estrada, wife of His Excellency Joseph
Estrada,
former President of The Philippines. My husband was recently impeached
from
office by a backed uprising of mass demonstrators and the Senate and is
presently in jail on trumped up charges of corruption, embezzlement,
and the
mysterious charge of economy plunder which might lead to death
sentence.
The present government is forcing my husband out of Manila to avoid
demonstration by his supporters. I realized some reasonable amount of
money
from various deals that I successfully executed, during my husband's
regime
as President of Philippines. I have
plans to invest this money for my children's future on real estate and
industrial production.
I have carefully moved out these funds (US$30 million), before my
husband
was impeached to an offshore Deposit Company in the European Union. My
husband is not aware of this because I want to handle it secretly..
From
past experiences, many people I had regarded as close friends has
capitalize
on my family's travail to run away with my money.
In order to avert this negative development, I in conjunction with my
son
now seek your permission to allow my attorney do a CHANGE OF
OWNERSHIP/REASSIGNMENT OF CREDIT of stated funds from the deposit
company to
your name, so that the funds (US$30million) would be released to you as
the
new owner (on behalf of me and my
family).
I am writing because when I deposited the money in the deposit company,
I
told them that it belonged to a foreign business partner and my present
position will not allow me to claim the funds. Consequently, I will
present
you as the owner of the funds in the Deposit Company so you can be able
to
claim them. This is simple. I will like you to provide immediately;
1. Full names
2. Contact address
3. Telephone and fax numbers.
Once I receive this information, I will prepare the necessary documents
that
will put you in place as the new owner of the funds.
The money will then be released to your custody by the Deposit Company,
for
us to share in the ratio of 70% for us and 30% for you. There is no
risk at
all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the solicitor and this will guarantees the
successful
execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address.
Upon
your response, I shall then introduce you to my son who is going to
liaise
with you for further explanation that will help you understand the
transaction. I cannot be reached on phone because of the
security around us but my son will call you if he has the opportunity
to do
so. In that case our communication will be mostly via email. No doubt
this
proposal will make you apprehensive, please we employ you to observe
utmost
confidentiality and rest assured
that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because
we
shall require your assistance to invest our share in your country
(buying of
properties like houses, hotels etc). This is why your urgent action and
response is of priority to enable us concluding
this transaction in a timely and professional manner.
regards
ISATA ESTRADA
