Subject: Dr. Mrs LOUISA EJERCITOR ESTRADA.

Dearest,

I am Dr. Mrs LOUISA EJERCITOR ESTRADA, the wife of Mr Joseph Estrada the
former President of Philippine located in the south east Asia. My husband
was presently impeached from office by a backed uprising of mass
demonstrators and the senate. During my husband's regime as president of
Philippine, I realised US$21.5 millions of dollars from various contract
projects I executed successfully. I had planed to invest this money in Real
Estate and Industral Production.
Now I have used an NGO to move the money to a bank outside Philippine
awaiting transfer, I want you to assist me transfer the money to your bank
account as the Beneficiary/my Proxy because I do not want the Philippine
Government to trace and confiscate this one. they have confiscated all our
asset. This is the only money left for me and my family o.k.

Now if you agree, I will offer you 40% of the total fund, and you must keep
it very secret and confidential o.k. There is no risk involved, all I want
from you is your corporation so that we can have a sucessful transaction as
all modalities has been put in place I look forward to having a good
relationship with you o.k,
Regards,
Dr Mrs Louise Estrada,
Wife To Former Philippine President.
