Subject: CONFIDENTIAL/TRUST
Dear Friend,
READ CAREFULLY PLEASE.
For this letter is strictly personal, intimate and confidential. Forgive
this unusual manner of contacting you, but this particular letter is of
exceptional and very private nature. There is absolutely going to be a great
doubt and distrust in your heart in respect of this email, coupled with the
fact that, so many miscreants have taken possession of the Internet to
facilitate their nefarious deeds, thereby making it extremely difficult for
genuine and legitimate business class persons to get attention and
recognition. There is no way for me to know whether I will be properly
understood, but it is my duty to write and reach out to anyone who can
assist.
For I know that God knows only one that can be trusted to handle this
project effectively without making us regret. Though this approach appears
desperate, difficulties encountered in efforts to establish a business
abroad necessitate this search for someone to assist me in securing and
investing the sum of USD18, 000,000 (eighteen million dollars) deposited in
my name abroad.
By way of summarized profile of myself, I am Luisa Pimental Estrada, a
64years old lady and the wife of Joseph Ejercito Estrada(former head of
state and President of Philippines) From past experiences, many people I had
regarded as close friends and relatives 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
us do a CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP/REASSIGNMENT OF CREDIT of stated funds from the
deposit company to your name, so that the funds (US$18million) would be
released to you as the BENEFICIARY (on behalf of me and my family). Our
family trustee have secretly protected the deposit, you are to assist us to
lay claims of the funds with the aid of all legal documents that will be
forwarded to you as time goes on. If you agree to help, we shall discuss the
disbursement ratio in our next correspondence after we have been acquainted.
I have decided to offer 10% of the above sum to anyone who assists us to
secure these funds overseas or 20% share for possible help on investing in
any reliable venture.
My husband Joseph Ejercito Estrada was elected as the 13thPresident of the
Philippines in May 1998 by the people of Philippines due his popularity in
the film industry made him to win the largest popularity in the history of
election in Philippines. He attained the position of Senate in 1987,then
vice-president in 1992 and later become the president 1998.My husband was
made mayor of his home town, San Juan in 1969 but it was 1972 that he had a
string of public successes. My husband was named one of the ten Outstanding
Young Men in Public Administration. He was also named Most Outstanding Mayor
and Foremost Nationalist and Most Outstanding Metro Manila Mayor.
My husband is recently accused of illegally acquiring some four Billion Peso
($80M) during his 31 months in office as President backed up by an uprising
of mass Demonstrators and Senate Traitors. They also said that he has
skimmed off tobacco excise Taxes benefiting from government business deals.
Most of them benefited from my husband’s generosity when he was in office.
But they just turned around to be the ones to impeach him. I have tried
every possible means to get him out of Detention without success. The
Despotic forces in power appear bent in deriding him rubbishing his
achievements while freezing all his known Bank accounts. He has been accused
of economic plunder carrying the maximum penalty of death. To the worst of
it all, all other wives of my husband especially Guia Gomez and some of her
children born outside wed lock are testifying against us. In conjunction
with the PCGG funded by the recent President Arroyo Macapagal Gloria.These
are some of the allegations filed before my husband in the impeachment
trial;
