Subject: My offer from Korea
Dear Friend/ Partner,
Greetings from me and my family.
. My name is ROH DAE-JUNG, The brother of GENERAL. ROH TAE-WOO, the
former President of South Korea, He was hand-picked by the ex-general Chun
Doo-hwan to succeed him as president in 1988 to 1993, triggering large
pro-democracy rallies in Seoul and other cities in 1987. In response, Roh
agreed to hold democratic presidential elections, making himself a viable
candidate for the next election. Opposition supporters, in pronounced
regional voting, split their vote between two candidates future presidents
Kim Young-sam and Kim Dae-jung, making Roh the first elected president of
the post-military rule era.
Roh's rule was notable for hosting the Seoul Olympics in 1988 and for his
foreign policy of nordpolitik, which represented a major break from
previous administrations.
After taking office in 1993, Roh's successor Kim Young-sam led an
anti-corruption campaign that saw Roh and Chun on trial for bribery . The
two former presidents were later separately charged with mutiny and
treason for their roles in the 1979 coup and the 1980 Gwangju Massacre.
After serving duly, he was accused of mass embezzlement which ran into
billions of won because of the GREAT OLYMPICS 1988 which brought Korea to
the world lime light, and was arrested but released after long years of
incarceration and now under scrutiny.
Before my brother's was overthrown, I secretly siphoned the sum of 30
million United States Currency out of Seoul and deposited the money with a
security firm that transports valuable goods and through diplomatic
means.I am contacting you because I want you to deal with 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 expect you to declare what percentage of the total money you will ta k e
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.we do not want the government of my Country
to know about the money because they will believe I got the money from my
brother while he was still in office as president .Once you confirm the
receipt of the money ,I will come over with my Children to your Country or
any Country in Europe to start a new life with my Family.
As soon as payment is effected, and the amount mentioned above is
successfully transferred into your account, we intend to use our own share
in acquiring some estates abroad. For this too you shall also be our
overseas manager of all our properties and you will be paid based on a
certain percentage agreed on by both parties. For now, let all our
communication be by e-mail because my line is right now connected to the
South Korean Telecommu ni cation Network services therefore we can not take
the chances of being heard.
Please visit sites below for more informations about Mr. Roh's government.

Attention: Beneficiary
On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late Sir Stuart Armstrong. I once again try to notify you as my
earlier letter were returned undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach you again by your email address.
I wish to notify you that my late client made a Deposit which He left behind in the sum of fourteen million, six Hundred
Thousand Dollars (USD$14.6m) which has remained unclaimed since after his death. I was informed by the Bank that the
deposit will be converted to UNCLAIMED DEPOSIT and therefore forfeited if not claimed before the end of this financial
quarter, as is the practice and also indicated in the European Union banking guidelines. I do not want this to happen.
This is the reason for my willingness to share the inheritance with you on a 50/50 basis rather than lose everything.
Until his death, he was consultant to several oil and gas industries. He had a sojourn in the United States and so many
other countries before he came to Fairfeild Energy Ltd., United Kingdom. My client died in 1999 at the age of 79 years,
and his deposit is liable for claim. According to him this money is to support humanitarian activities and to help the
poor and the needy in our society. Please if I reach you as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back to me as soon as possible
to enable me conclude my job.
I await your URGENT Response.
Yours Sincerely,
David Higgins
