Subject: Good Day!
MRS. JOAN MARIE D. FLORES
CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER
LnHEAD OFFICE EQUITABLE PCI BANK TWR.
MKT AVENUE. COR.H.V DELA COSTA STR
PHILIPPINES.
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself, I am MRS. JOAN MARIE D. FLORES, 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. A s 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 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 at this 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:35%($2.02m) to you for your part in
this, 60% for me and my partners and 5% for any unforeseeable expenses we may
incur.
As you can see this is easier than taking candy from a baby, but mind you,
trust is something that is developed over time a nd 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 transferred 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.
Your urgent response is highly anticipated so please email me through this
email;(joanflores01@sapo.pt) on this transaction as soon as possible. This
should be kept very secret and confidential. I believe you know.
Kind Regards,
Mrs. Joan Marie D. Flores
