DEAR FRIEND,

PLEASE, SORRY FOR CONTACTING YOU IN THIS MANNER. I AM MRS. LOUISA EJERCITOR
ESTRADA, THE WIFE OF MR. JOSEPH ESTRADA, THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF PHILIPPINES
WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTH EAST OF ASIA. A BACKED UP RISING OF THE SENATE
IMPEACHED MY HUSBAND FROM OFFICE.

DURING MY HUSBAND'S REGIME AS PRESIDENT OF PHILIPPINE I REALISED THE SUM OF
US$ 25 MILLION USD (TWENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) FROM VARIOUS
CONTRACT PROJECTS I EXECUTED SUCCESSFULY, I HAD PLANED LONG AGO TO INVEST
THIS MONEY OUT SIDE MY COUNTRY WITH THE HELP OF A TRUSTED PERSON ABROAD. THE
FUNDS WAS DEPOSITED IN A SECURITY AND DIPLOMATIC CARRIER COMPANY ABROAD AS
VALUBLES WHEN HE WAS IN POWER AS THE PRESIDENT OF PHILIPPINES.

NOW EVER SINCE THE ARREST AND DETENTION OF MY HUSBAND, ALL OUR ASSETS HAVE
BEEN CONFISCATED BY THE PHILIPPINES GOVERNMENTS, MY FAMILY'S LIFE STYLE IS
BEEN MONITORED AND ALL MY TELECOMMUNICATIONS IS BEEN BUGGED INTO PHILIPPINES
SECURITY SERVICES.

THIS FUND IS THE ONLY PROPERTY LEFT NOW, WHICH THE GOVERNMENT HAVE NOT AND
WILL NOT DISCOVER ALL I WANT NOW IS A REPUTABLE HAND THAT CAN ASSIST ME
CLEAR THE FUND FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY I AM READY TO GIVE OUT A GREATER
PERCENTAGE OF THIS FUNDS FOR THIS ASSISTANCE.

THE SECURITY COMPANY DOES NOT KNOW THE CONTENTS OF THE CONSIGNMENTS BECAUSE
IT WAS MOVED THROUGH A DIPLOMATIC MEANS BY A NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION
(NGO). ALL I WANT FROM YOU NOW IS YOUR COMPLETE NAME, ADDRESS WITH PHONE AND
FAX NUMBERS, AND I WILL CONTACT MY LAWYER, WHO WILL EFFECT THE CHANGE OF
OWNERSHIP OF THE SAID CONSIGNMENTS TO YOUR NAME. AS SOON AS THIS CHANGE IS
MADE IN YOUR NAME, YOU WILL HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO TALK TO THE SECURITY
COMPANY FOR THE REALISE OF THE CONSIGNMENT ON MY BEHALF.

SEND TO ME A LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE IF YOU ARE WILLING TO ASSIST, AND I WANT
YOU TO KNOW THAT I HAVE A GREAT REPUTATION IN THE SOCIETY, SO THIS
TRANSACTION MUST BE KEPT SECRET AND CONFIDENTIAL. THERE SHOULD BE NO THIRD
PARTY IN THIS TRANSACTION UNTILL YOU HAVE CLEARED THIS CONSIGNMNETS FROM THE
SECURITY COMPANY AND TAKE MY INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW IT WILL BE INVESTED.

I HEREBY AWAIT YOUR URGENT RESPONSE, AND YOU WILL BE TAKING INSTRUCTIONS
FROM ME AT ALL TIMES TO AVOID MISTAKES O.K. PLEASE REPLY ME ON MY
CONFIDENTIAL EMAIL ADDRESS: mrs_estradaeje@yahoo.com


I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.

BEST WISHES,
MRS. LOUISA EJERCITOR ESTRADA.
