Subject: Greetings from me and my family
Hello,
Greetings from me and my family.
Getting your contact was not an easy task because since I am not computer
literate, I ordered my son to seek a partner very far away and he went to
the institute of International Business to apply and he paid them the
charges. My name is NOH DAE-JUNG, The brother of GENERAL. NOH TAE-WOO, the
former President of South Korea who ascended to power through a popular
electoral victory in 1988 to 1992. After serving duly,he was accused of mass
embezzlement which ran into billions of won
because of the GREAT OLYMPICS 1988 which brought Korea to the world
limelight, and was arrested but released after long years of incarceration
and now under scrutiny.Before my brother\'s was overthrown, I secretly
siphoned the sum of 30million United States Currency out of Seoul and
deposited the money with a security firm that transports valuable goods and
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 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.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 connected to the South Korean Telecommunication Network
services therefore we can not take the chances of being heard.
Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
Noh Dae-Jung.
