Subject: PLEASE RESPOND
DEAR FRIEND,
My name is Mrs Luisa ESTRADA,The wife of Mr. JOSEPH ESTRADA, the
former President of Philippines located in the South East Asia. My husband
was recently impeached from office by a backed uprising of mass
demonstrators and the Senate. My husband is presently in jail and facing trial
on charges of corruption, embezzlement, and the mysterious charge of
plunder which might lead to death sentence. The present government Gloria
arroyo is forcing my husband out of Manila to avoid demonstration by
his supporters. During my husband's regime as president of Philippine, I
realized some reasonable amount of money from various deals that I
successfully executed. I have plans to invest this money for my children's
future on real estate and industrial production. My husband is not
aware of this because I wish to do it secretly for now. before my husband
was impeached, I secretly siphoned the sum of $30,000,000 million USD
(Thirty million United states dollars) out of Philippines 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 go to 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. For now, let all our communication is by e-mail
because my line are right now connected to the Philippines Telecommunication
Network servicesand they are monitoring our movements . Please also
send me your telephone, fax number and address for easier communication .
I will ask my son to contact you to give you more details on
after i have received a responce from you.
Thank you and God bless you and your family.
MRS Luisa ESTRADA
