US$ 13 million dollars
INVESTMENT FUND,
Dear Sir,
My name is MRS LOI E. ESTRADA ,The wife of Mr. JOSEPH ESTRADA, the former
President of Philippines located in the South East Asia.
My husband who was 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 is forcing my husband
out of manila to avoid demonstration by his supporter. 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 $13,000,000
million USD (Thirteen 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 lso declared that the consignment
was solid gold and my foreign business partner owned it.
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 Philippines Telecommunication Network services. 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.
Thank you and God bless you and family.
MRS LOI E. ESTRADA
