Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL (FROM MRS.MARIFE C.DERONA EQUITABLE PCI BANK TW)
MRS. MARIFE C. DERONA
CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER
HEAD OFFICE EQUITABLE PCI BANK TWR.
MKT AVENUE. COR.H.V DELA COSTA STR
PHILIPPINES.
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself, I am MRS MARIFE CARREON DERONA,
CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER EQUITABLE PCI BANK. I am writing you this letter
based
on the latest development at my bank, which I will like to bring to your
personal edification. I am writing you this letter with so much joy and
excitement even though my heart goes out to the very powerful and
distinguished gentleman who I was fortunate to have worked for and
extremely privileged to have known for numerous years. I am a top official
in
charge of client accounts in EQUITABLE PCI BANK inside the Philippines.
In 2001, my client was going through a horrendous divorce in the United
States of America and was on the verge of losing most of his estate to
his vicious and diabolical wife. As a result of this alarming predicament,
myclient came to me with a very brilliant idea. He transferred some
funds, ten million two hundred thousand dollars ($10.2m) to a fixed deposit
account in my bank under an alias which only the two of us knew about as the
confidentiality of the matter was necessary for his protection.
Due to his untimely death in early 2002, the funds have been sitting in
the account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do
something about it. This is where you come in. I located you through an
agency that helps
seek people by their email. My client did not declare any next of kin in his
official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. Against
this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like you as a foreigner
to stand as the next of kin to our client so that you will be able to
receive his funds. I want you to know that I have had everything planned out
so
that we can come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will
prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to
my
client. All that is required from you at this stage is for you to
provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can
commence his
job.
After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file
in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will
be provided by you. There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we
are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the
necessary documents. The allocation of our money will be as follows:
20%($2.02m) to you for your part in this, 75% for me and my partners
and 5% for any unforeseeable expenses we may incur. I think this is
extremely
fair, as you have nothing to lose but just a little time, while on the other
hand I am staking my flawless reputation among other things. And besides
$2.02 million is no pocket change. Once you are approved, the entire
transaction should take no longer than twelve business days after which we
will go
about our daily business, but just millions of dollars richer.
As you can see this is easier than taking candy from a baby, but mind
you, trust is something that is developed over time and that is something
that we do not have. So I have to let you know that it will highly
unfeasible
to try to run away with the money because even though only you can transfer
money in and out of your account, the transfer can only be authorized by my
department of which i happen to be the head.
The money will be transferred from my bank to an account you will
provide. So please, there should be no room for greed because ten million
two
hundred thousand dollars can quench even the most insatiable desire for the
almighty dollar.
Again, I will be in charge of everything else. I will assume all
responsibilities for this endeavor so you don't have to worry about any
legal ramifications, just what you will do with all that money. Your
urgent response is highly anticipated so please email me through this email
address(mrs.marife1@yahoo.com.ph) for more details on this transaction
as soon as possible.
This should be kept very secret and confidential.
I believe you know.
Kind Regards,
Mrs. Marife C. Derona.
