Subject: MR JANG DOO HWAN FROM KOREA!!!!!
Greetings from me and my family,
Getting your contact was not an easy task because since I am not computer
literate, I ordered my son to seek a partner very far away and he went to
the institute of International Business to apply and he paid them the
charges. After two days we were given three names and I did not write the
three but merely close my eyes in prayers and your address became my
selection. I intended to write one of the others if you had not responded on
time or if you eventually change your mind. You see my friend, if you rely
solely on God, you will never go wrong.
My name is JANG DOO-HWAN, The brother of Mr. CHUN DOO-HWAN, the former
President of South Korea who seized power in a military coup in 1979 and who
ruled from 1979 to 1987. My brother was pushed out of office and charged
with treason ,corruption and embezzlement of over 21billion won. He was
wrongly sentenced to death but fortunately AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL stepped in
and commuted the sentence to life. We thank God that he has finally being
released though still under house arrest in the sense of conditions of the
freedom. During my brother's regime as president of South Korea, we realized
some reasonable amount of money from various deals that we successfully
executed. I have plans to invest this money for my children’s future on real
estate and industrial production. Before my brother's was overthrown, I
secretly siphoned the sum of $30,000,000 million USD (Thirty million United
states dollars) out of Seoul and deposited the money with a security firm
that transports valuable goods and consignments 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 hope to trust you as a God fearing
person who will not sit on this money when you claim it, rather assist me
properly, I expect you to declare what percentage of the total money you
will take 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. What we need is to indicate your interest
that you will assist us by receiving the money on our behalf in Europe . For
this, you shall be considered to be the beneficiary of the money. The
project in brief, is that the funds with which we intend to carry out our
proposed investments in your country, is presently in the custody of a
Diplomatic Courier Services Company in Europe. We cannot do this ourselves
because we do not have any relatives living outside South Korea and moreover
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 Telecommunication Network services therefore we can not take
the chances of being heard.
Please also send me your telephone and fax number. I will ask my son to
contact you to give you more details on after I have received a response
from you. I am going to introduce you to him as an age long friend so as to
prevent him from using any of his own friends who I regard as sycophants who
are around him for financial gains and treacherous if he gives them this
opportunity. This I got from the experience I had when the people turned
against Chun, my brother that became the prelude of our sorrow. The reason
why it took this long was that the security company’s agreement with me was
that my brother must personally sign the Power of Attorney that will
transfer title to the prospective beneficiary. It was a long wait but it
paid off. His excellency, Chun Doo-Hwan does not want to be personally
involved for security reason. Your quick response will be highly
appreciated. Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
MR.JANG DOO-HWAN.
