FROM: MR JANG DOOH-WAN
Greetings from me and my family,
Getting your contact was not an easy task because
since I am not
computer literate but 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 childrens 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 valuab
le 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 or with special arrangement, you can
get it transfered to
you by bank transfer . For this, you shall be
considered to be the
beneficiary of the money. The project in brief, is
that the funds wit
h 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 conne
cted 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
companys 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,
Jang Doo-hwan
