Subject: GOOD DAY
FROM: MR JANG DOO-HWAN
EMAIL:JANGDOO1@SIFY.COM
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. After two days we were given three names and I did not
write the three but merely close my eyes in prayers and your address
became my selection. I intended to write one of the others if you had not
responded on time or if you eventually change your mind. 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 children's 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 valuable 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 with
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
company's 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.
Please kindly notify me for further details if you are
interested or not in this proposal by contacting me
through this email address:JANGDOO1@SIFY.COM.
Yours faithfully,
Jang Doo-hwan
