Dear Friend,

I am Maria Cristina Gamboa, Finance Division Manager, BDO BANK.I am a top official in charge of client accounts in (EQUITABLE PCI BANK) which is now BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK inside the Philippines the merger was (2007) The merger is part of a long-term goal of BDO to become one of the largest names in the Philippine banking industry. I am writing you this letter based on the latest development at my bank, which I will like to bring to your personal edification.

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, my client 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. 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 home Address and telephone number so that the attorney can commence his job.

The allocation of our money will be as follows: 30% to you for your part in this, 65% for me and my partners and 5% for any unforeseeable expenses we may incur.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, please email me for more details on this transaction as soon as possible.

This should be kept very secret and confidential. I believe you know and all our correspondence should be strictly on email alone.

Kind Regards,

Maria Cristina Gamboa.
