Subject: urgent need
Greetings,
I am Mrs Christine Ampatin Go, a divorcee and native of Philippines. I would
like to have a long lasting and confidential relationship with you by entrusting
you with my life time fortune as I am presently desolated and need someone
to trust. I do not want to remember my past ordeal in the hands of close
confidants and family.
from your profile, I would want to believe strongly that you are a very
honest person. I have undergone so much tumoils in my short but eventful
life and i want to go away from my all troubles. I hope you will not dissapoint
me afterall. any way, I was once the mistress of our then President, Joseph
Estrada, and during his tenure in office, he enstrusted me with the sensitive
task of safely depositing his funds in several financial institutions accross
the world. my sexual and business relationship with Joseph Estrada was a
top secret and it suited us both that way for years until he made a fatal
mistake of leaving my letter unburnt after reading. His wife stumbled on
it and "the cat was let out of the bag" This was a prelude to the fracas
I had with his wife, Madam Loi and her son, Jude. it was a public embarrassment
and people became aware that I was having such an affair with the President.
Not quite a long time ago, I was wrongly arrested alongside Joseph Estrada's
wife and son in connection with the 27th July, 2003 failed coup and was
charged with treason, trafficking and harbouring of arms and ammunationsin
in the villa bought for me by the then President Joseph Estrada. after much
investigation and interrogation, i was released on the ground of insufficient
evidence but kept under severe immigration security watch.
I know you might be wondering why i am telling you my shameful relationship
with the then President and that I deserved all the problems i have gone
through. I do not dispute that and i feel so ashamed of myself but the fact
is that i want a second chance to start afreash and make something out of
my life. Do not judge me harshly in as much as you may want to. I need your
assistance and urgently too. I want you to assist me claim one of the funds
deposits i made for the President Estrada overseas during the days of my
relationship with the then president. The documents of other deposits have
been confiscated by the the government of Madam Gloria Ariyo, the current
President of my country.The only deposit i can lay claims to right now is
this one they could not see as I kept the documents with one of my close
confidants who unfortunately, was also arrested.
The Amount deposited is US$10m. Joseph wanted to use this money to acquire
some property in real estate in Africa which unfortunately, he could not
finalise. I want you to promise me your total sincerity and will not betray
the enermous trust i am bestowing on you. Once you claim this money, you
will keep and invest the money on trust on my behalf in any viable business
venture pending when i am taken off the immigration security watch list.
it is only then shall I travel down to meet you and we can sit down and
deliberate on whether to continue on your line of investment or diversify.
As soon as i get your consent to this subject matter, I will send you a
copy of my international passport Photograph which i had stored in my computer
before the government seiezed my international passport. Upon the receipt
of this mail,please send me your full names and contact address to enable
me issue out a letter of authorisation on your behalf which will ensure
that you successfuly claim the money when you come in contact with the Finance
house where the money is lodged.
Best Regards,
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Christine Ampatin Go
