Subject: MR JANG DOO-HWAN
FROM: MR JANG DOO-HWAN
South Korea.
Dear sir/madam,
INVESTMENT IN YOUR COUNTRY
My name is MR 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 $40,000,000 million USD (Forty 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 belongs 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 transferred 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 with 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 to contact you to give you more
details on after I have received a response from you.
Your quick response will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
MR JANG DOO-HWAN
