Subject: Re:Endeavour
FROM:MR JANG DOOH-WAN
Greetings from me and my family,
Getting your contact was not an easy task because since I am not
computer literate, I ordered my son to seek a partner very far away and
he went to the institute of International Business to apply and he paid
them the charges. After two days we were given three names and I did not
write the three but merely close my eyes in prayers and your address became
my selection. I intended to write one of the others if you had not responded
on time or if you eventually change your mind. You see my friend, if you
rely solely on God, you will never go wrong.
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
$30,000,000 million USD (Thirty million United states dollars) out of Seoul
and deposited the money with a security firm that transports valuab le 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 or with special arrangement, you can get
it transfered to you by bank transfer . For this, you shall be considered
to be the beneficiary of the money. The project in brief, is that the funds
wit h which we intend to carry out our proposed investments in your country,
is presently in the custody of a Diplomatic Courier Services Company in
Europe. 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.
NB:DUE TO THE ABOVE STATED REASON,I WILL LIKE YOU TO SEND YOUR REPLY TO MY
PRIVATE MAIL BOX(jang_doohmails@excite.com)
Yours faithfully,
Jang Doo-hwan,
