Subject: Hello
Dear Sir,
My name is JANG DOO-HWAN, The brother of Mr. CHUN DOO-HWAN, the former
President
of South Korea who seized power in a military coup in 1979 and who
ruled
from 1979 to 1987.
My brother was pushed out of office and charged with treason,
corruption
and embezzlement of over 21billion won. He was wrongly sentenced to
death
but fortunately
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL stepped in and commuted the sentence to life. We
thank
God that he has finally being released though still under house arrest
in
the sense of conditions of the freedom.
During my brother's regime as president of South Korea, we realized
some
reasonable amount of money from various deals that we successfully
executed.
I have plans to invest this money for my children's future on real
estate
and industrial production.
Before my brother's was overthrown, I secretly siphoned the sum of
$9,000,000
million USD (nine million United states dollars) out of Seoul 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 deal with 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.
What we need is to indicate your interest that you will assist us by
receiving
the money on our behalf in
Europe. For this, you shall be considered to be the beneficiary of the
money.
The project in brief, is that the funds with which we intend to carry
out
our proposed investments in your country, is presently in the custody
of
a security company.
We cannot do this ourselves because we do not have any relatives living
outside South Korea and moreover we do not want the government of my
Country
to know about the money because they will believe I got the money from
my
brother while he was still in office as president.
Once you confirm the receipt of the money ,I will come over with my
Children
to your Country or any Country in Europe to start a new life with my
Family.
As soon as payment is effected, and the amount mentioned above is
successfully
transferred into your account, we intend to use our own share in
acquiring
some estates abroad. For this too you shall also be our overseas
manager
of all our properties and you will be paid based on a certain
percentage
agreed on by both parties.
For now, let all our communication be by e-mail because my line is
right
now connected to the South Korean Telecommunication Network services
therefore
we can not take the chances of being heard.
Please also send me your telephone and fax number. I will ask my son to
contact you to give you more details on after I have received a
response
from you. I am going to introduce you to him as an age long friend so
as
to prevent him from using any of his own friends who I regard as
sycophants
who are around him for financial gains and treacherous if he gives them
this opportunity. This I got from the experience I had when the people
turned
against Chun, my brother that became the prelude of our sorrow.
The reason why it took this long was that the security company's
agreement
with me was that my brother must personally sign the Power of Attorney
that
will transfer title to the prospective beneficiary. It was a long wait
but
it paid off. His Excellency, Chun Doo-Hwan does not want to be
personally
involved for security reason.
Your quick response will be highly appreciated.Thank you in
anticipation
of your cooperation.Do respond to me via this my private
email:jhdoo@echina.com
Yours faithfully,
JANG DOO-HWAN
