Subject: SINCERE REQUEST:
Dear friend,
This is a proposal in context but actually an appeal solicitingfor your
unreserved assistance in consummating an urgent transactionrequiring
maximum confidence. Though this approach appears desperate,I can assure
you that whatever questions you would need to ask or any other thing
you 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 of
corruption,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 the deposit
company to your name, so that the funds (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
