Subject: "Greetings from me and my family"
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 lime light, 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 30 mil 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.
