Subject: PLEASE RESPOND
DEAR FRIEND,
My name is Mrs Luisa ESTRADA,The wife of Mr. JOSEPH ESTRADA, the former
President of Philippines located in the South East Asia. My husband was
recently impeached from office by a backed uprising of mass demonstrators and
the Senate. My husband is presently in jail and facing trial on charges of
corruption, embezzlement, and the mysterious charge of plunder which might
lead to death sentence. The present government Gloria arroyo is forcing my
husband out of Manila to avoid demonstration by his supporters.
During my husband's regime as president of Philippine, I realized some
reasonable amount of money from various deals that I successfully executed.
I have plans to invest this money for my children's future on real estate and
industrial production. My husband is not aware of this because I wish to do
it secretly for now. before my husband was impeached, I secretly siphoned the
sum of $30,000,000 million USD (Thirty million United states dollars) out of
Philippines and deposited the money with a security firm that transports
valuable goods and consignments through diplomatic means. I am contacting you
because I want you to go to the security company and claim the money on my
behalf since I have declared that the consignment belong to
my foreign business partner. You shall also be required to assist me in
investment in your country. I hope to trust you as a God fearing person who
will not sit on this money when you claim it, rather assist me properly, I
expect you to declare what percentage of
the total money you will take for your assistance. When I receive your
positive response I will let you know where the security company is
and the payment pin code to claim the money which is very important. For now,
let all our communication is by e-mail because my line are right now
connected to the Philippines Telecommunication Network servicesand they are
monitoring our movements . Please also send me your telephone, fax number and
address for easier communication .
I will ask my son contact you to give you more details on
after i have received a responce from you.
Thank you and God bless you and family.
MRS Luisa ESTRADA
