Dear friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the
fact that we have not met. The message could be
strange but real, if you pay some attention to it. I
could have notified you about it at least for the sake
of your integrity. Please accept my apologies in
bringing this
message of goodwill to you, I have to say that I have
no intention of causing you any pain or harm.
I am LUISA E.ESTRADA, the wife of Mr. JOSEPH ESTRADA
the former President of Philippines presently in jail
and facing trial on charges of corruption and
embezzlement of public funds while in government. 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 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
transferred the sum of $18,000,000 million USD
(Eighteen 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 also 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 am willing to offer
you 25% of the funds for your sincere assistance. When
I receive your positive response I will let you know
where the security company is and also my son Carlito
(Daniel) will contact you with the details of this
project.
For now, let all our communication be by e-mail
because my lines are right now connected to the
Philippines Telecommunication Network services.
Please do send me your private telephone/ fax number
so that we can have a smooth communication.
Thank you and God bless you and your family
Warmest Regards,
DR. MRS LUISA EJERCITO ESTRADA
