US$ 13 million dollar

INVESTMENT FUND,

Dear Friend,

My name is MRS LOI E. ESTRADA ,The wife of Mr. JOSEPH ESTRADA,

the formerPresident of Philippines located in the South East

Asia.

My husband who was impeached from office by a backed uprising of

mass demonstrators and the Senate. My husband is presently in

jail and facing trial on charges of corruption, embezzlement, and

the mysterious charge of plunder which might lead to death

sentence.The present government is forcing my
husband out of manila to avoid demonstration by his supporter.

During my husband's regime as president of Philippine, I realized
some reasonable amount of money from various deals that I

successfully executed.
I have plans to invest this money for my children's future on

real estate and industrialproduction.
My husband is not aware of this because I wish to do it secretly

for now..

Before my husband was impeached,I secretly siphoned the sum of

$13,000,000 million USD (Thirteen
million United states dollars)out of Philippines and deposited

the money with a security firm that transports valuable goods and

consignments through diplomatic means. I also declared that the

consignment was solid gold and my foreign business partner owned

it.

I am contacting you because I want you to go to 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.

For now, let all our communication is by e-mail

loie_estrada@yahoo.com because my line are right now connected to

Philippines Telecommunication Network services. 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..

Thank you and God bless you and family.
MRS LOI E. ESTRADA
