Subject: FOR YOUR KIND APPRAISAL
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,difficulties encountered in efforts to
establish a business abroad necessitate this search
for someone to assist me in securing and investing the
sum of USD18,000,000 (eighteen million dollars)
deposited in my name with a security company.
By way of summarized profile of myself,I am Senator
Luisa Pimentel Estrada,a 74years old lady and the
first wife of Joseph Ejercito Estrada(former head of
state and President of Philippines) who is presently
held in detention in a hospital outside
manilla,Philippines.This money was kept with a
Security Company and I have all document with me as
of when it was deposited in a Security Vault for safe
keeping.
However,the current administration of Gloria
Arroyo(The President of Philippines) is seeking the
death of my husband.In pursuit of this vendetta,the
present Government have resolved to freeze all known
assets of Joseph Ejercito Estrada including properties
at home and abroad and are presently embarking on to
seize the various bank accounts of my Husband in
Switzerland,UK and Australia. In fact, the attack on
our family (The Estrada's) is so devastated to an
extent of seizing our travelling passport,family
accounts,trying some members of our family in court
for offences allegedly committed by my Husband and
even restrict us from seeing my husband.
You can find alittle more about our predicament on
this webpages;

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$18million) would be released to you as the
new owner (on behalf of me and my family).
We are not ready to comply to this as most of the
family assets and bank accounts abroad have been
Frozen by the Arroyo regime. In view of this grevious
threat to our Economic and personal survival, our
family trustee have secretly protected the deposit,
you are to assits us to lay claims of the consignment
with the aid of all legal documents that will be
forwarded to you as time goes on.
In the meantime,there is a travelling embargo on the
family members and our local accounts are seized as
well as our telephone lines have been bugged.For this
reason,telephone conversation will not be an ideal
means of communication because our calls will be
recorded.We are currently being catered for by the
Government of Philippines in other to monitor and
control our financial activities.we cannot be held
responsible for the sins of my Husband. In view of
this plight, I expect you to be trustworthy and kind
enough to respond to this distressed call to save
ourfamily from a hopeless future.And if you agree to
help, we shall discuss the disbursement ratio in our
next correspondence after we have been acquainted.
To summarise this traumatic story,I have decided to
offer 10% of the above sum to anyone who assists us to
secure this funds overseas or 20% share for possible
help on investing in any reliable venture.
Once I receive this information, my son 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.
No doubt this proposal will make you apprehensive,
please I employ you to observe utmost confidentiality
and rest assured that this transaction would be most
profitable for both of us
Please note that email correspondence for now will be
safer due to the fact that all our phone lines have
been bugged.
Awaiting your swift response.
Sincerely yours,
Dr.L.P.Estrada
please for the sake of confidentiality,only respond back to me whether you are intrested or not through
