MRS MARIFE CAREON
CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER
HEAD OFFICE EQUITABLE PCI BANK TWR.
MKT AVENUE.COR.H.V DELA COSTA STR
PHILIPPPINES .
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself,I am MRS MARIFE CAREON,CREDIT
ACCOUNTS OFFICER EQUITABLE PCI BANK.
I am writing you this letter based on the latest development at my
bank,which I will like to bring to your personal edification. I am writing
you this letter with so much joy and excitement even though my heart goes
out to the very powerful and distinguished gentleman who I was fortunate to
have worked for and extremely privileged to have known for numerous years. I
am a top official in charge of client accounts in EQUITABLE PCI BANK.
inside the philippines.
In 2001, my client was going through a horrendous divorce in the
United States Of America and was on the verge of losing most of his
estate to his vicious and diabolical wife. As a result of this alarming
predicament, my client came to me with a very brilliant idea. He
transferred some funds, ten million two hundred thousand dollars(usd10.2m)
to a
fixed deposit account in my bank under an alias which only the two of us
knew
about as the confidentiality of the matter was necessary for his
protection. Due to his untimely death in early 2002, the funds have been
sitting in
the account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do
something about it. This is where you come in.I located you through
an agency that helps seek people by their email.my client did not declare
any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank
deposit.Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would
like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to our client so that
you
will be able to receive his funds.
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that
we can come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare
the
necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to my
client.All that is required from you atthis stage is for you to provide me
with your Full Names and Address so
that the attorney can commence his job.After you have been made the next of
kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the
necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of
the funds to an account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a
legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary
documents.The allocation of our money will be as follows: 20%(US$2.02M)
to you for your part in this, 75% for me and my partners and 5% for any
unforeseeable expenses we may incur. I think this is extremely fair, as
you have nothing to lose but just a little time, while on the other hand I
am staking my flawless reputation among other things. And besides $2.02
million is no pocket change. Once you are approved, the entire transaction
should take no longer than twelve business days after which we will go about
our daily business, but just millions of dollars richer.
As you can see this is easier than taking candy from a baby
but mind you, trust is something that is developed over time and that is
something that we do not have. So I have to let you know that it will
highly unfeasible to try to run away with the money because even though only
you can transfer money in and out of your account, the transfer can only be
authorized by my department of which i happen to be the head.The money
will be transfered from my bank to an account you will provide. So please,
there should be no room for greed because ten million two hundred thousand
dollars can quench even the most insatiable desire for the almighty dollar.
Again, i will be in charge of everything else. I will assume
all responsibilities for this endeavor so you don’t have to worry about any
legal ramifications, just what you will do with all that money.
If interested,I would want you to send your reply to my private mail
box:marifecareon005@uk2.net
Your urgent response is highly anticipated so please email me
for more details on this transaction as soon as possible.
This should be kept very secret and confidential… I believe you know.
kind Regards
Mrs. Marife Careon esq.
