CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER

12 ADB AVENUE, ORTIGAS CENTER, MANDALUYONG CITY
PHILIPPINES.
Banco De Oro Unibank, Inc.
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself, I am ELMER B. SERRANO,
CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL 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 a top official in charge of clients
accounts in(EQUITABLE PCI BANK) which is now BANCO DE ORO
UNIVERSAL BANK inside the Philippines the merger was late
2007.
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 ($10.2m) 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 ourclient 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 at this stage is for you to provide me
with your Full Names and Address and telephone number so
that the attorney can commence his job.
The allocation of our money will be as follows: 30%($3.06m)
to you for your part in this, 70% for me. Again, I will be
in charge of everything
else. I will assume all responsibilities for this endeavor
so youdon't have to worry about any legal ramifications,
just what you will do with all that money.Your urgent
response is highly anticipated so please email me through
this email addres(elmer_serrano@live.co.uk)for more details
on this transaction as soon as possible.This should be kept
very secret and confidential.
Hope to hear from you soon .
Kind Regards,
ELMER B. SERRANO
