Subject: URGENT PROPOSAL :
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 like you to provide immediately;
1. Full names
2. Contact address
3. Telephone and fax numbers
Once I receive this information, 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 has the oppotunity 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 we
shall 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
