reliable and trustworthy person who will assist me in a business investment
venture in your country. I am Mrs. LOUISA EJERCITOR ESTRADA, the wife of
Mr. Joseph Estrada the former president of Philippine located in the south
East Asia. My husband was presently impeached from office by a backed uprising
of mass demonstrators and the senate.

During my husband's regime as president of Philippine, I realized US$21.540
millions of dollars from various contract the projects I executed successfully.
I had planned to invest this money for my children's future on real estate
and industrial production. My husband is not aware of this because I wish
to do it secretly for now Before my husband was impeached from office, I
concretely and secretly deposited this money and declared it computerledger
cards with diplomatic security company that transports valuable goods/consignment
through diplomatic courier service to their offshore offices.

The consignments,which are contained in the two trunks, are declared are
owned by my foreign business partners. I wish to discuss how much I will
offer you if you will be willing to assist me claim the money and invest
it in your country. I want to assure you that all modalities are put in
place and it is a risk free transaction. I'm trusting you as a God fearing
person who will not sit on my life saving fund. This business demands absolute
secrecy and confidentiality, thus all communications for now should be through
e-mail because all my phone lines are connected to the Philippine's telecommunication
net work services.

I will furnish you with more details when I receive your positive response.
Expecting your urgent reply through the below email address:
