Subject: sincere request:
Dear friend,
This is a proposal in context but actually an appeal solicitingfor your unreserved
assistance in consummating an urgent transaction requiring maximum confidence.
Though this approach appears desperate,I can assure you that whatever questions
you would need to ask or any other thingyou will need to know regarding this
proposal will be adequately answered to give you a clearer understanding
of it, so as to arrive at a successful conclusion.
My name is MRS. LOU EJERCITO ESTRADA., wife of His Excellency Joseph Estrada,former
President of The Philippines. My husband was recently impeached from office
by a backed uprising of mass demonstrators and the Senate and is presently
in jail on trumped up charges ofcorruption,embezzlement, and the mysterious
charge of economy plunder which might lead to death sentence.
The present government is forcing my husband out of Manila to avoid demonstration
by his supporters. I realized some reasonable amount of money from various
deals that I successfully executed,during my husband's regime as President
of Philippines. I have plans to invest this money
for my children's future on real estate and industrial production.I have
carefully moved out these funds (US$30 million),before my husband was impeached
to an offshore Deposit Company in the European union.
My husband is not aware of this because I want to handle it
secretly.From past experiences, many people I had regarded as close friends
has capitalize on my family's travail to run away with my money.In order
to avert this negative development,I in conjunction with my son now seek
your permission to allow my attorney do a CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP/REASSIGNMENT
OF CREDIT of stated funds from thedeposit company to your name, so that the
fund(US$30million)would be released to you as the new owner (on behalf of
me and my family).
I am writing because when I deposited the money in the deposit company,I
told them that it belonged to a foreign business partnerand my present position
will not allow me to claim the funds.Consequently,I will present you as the
owner of the funds in the Deposit Company so you can be able to claim them.
This is simple.I will prepare the necessary documents that will put you in
place as the new owner of the funds.The money will then be released to your
custody by the Deposit Company, for us to share in the ratio of 70% for us
and 30% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction
will be done by the solicitor and this will guarantees the successful execution
of this transaction.
Upon your response, I shall then introduce you to my son who is going to
liaise with you for further explanation that will help you understand the
transaction.I cannot be reached on phone because of the security around us
but my son will call you if he ha sthe opportunity to do so.
in that case our communication will be mostly via email.No doubt this proposal
will make you apprehensive, please we employ you to observe utmost confidentiality
and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both
of us because weshall require your assistance to
invest our share in your country (buying of properties like houses,hotels
etc).This is why your urgent action and response is of priority to enable
us concluding.
and regards.
MRS. LOU EJERCITO ESTRADA
