MRS MARIFE DERONA
CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER
HEAD OFFICE EQUITABLE PCI BANK TWR.
MKT AVENUE.COR.H.V DELA COSTA STR
PHILIPPPINES .
Dear Sir/Madam,
Let me start by introducing myself,i am MRS MARIFE DERONA,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. 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(usd10.2m) 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: 20%(US$2.02M) to you for your part in this,
75% for me and my partners and 5% for any unforeseeable expenses we may
incur. I think this is extremely fair, as you have nothing to lose but just
a little time, while on the other hand I am staking my flawless reputation
among other things. And besides $2.02 million is no pocket change. Once
you are approved, the entire transaction should take no longer than twelve
business days after which we will go about our daily business, but just
millions of dollars richer.
As you can see this is easier than taking candy from a baby but
mind you, trust is something that is developed over time and 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 thehead.The money will be transfered
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.
Again, i will be in charge of everything else. I will assume all
responsibilities for this endeavor so you don?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 for
more details on this transaction as soon as possible.
This should be kept very secret and confidential? I believe you know.
kind Regards
Mrs. Marife Derona esq.
