Fraud.

One out of five!

From: Mrs. Luisa Pimental Estrada.

Dearest,

Difficulties encountered in efforts to establish a business abroad necessitate this search for someone to assist me in securing and investing the sum of USD30, 000,000 (Thirty million dollars) I have disguisedly and successfully moved from Philippines to a Trust Company in Netherlands since 4 years ago for safe keeping.

By way of summarized profile of myself on behalf of my family; I am Luisa Pimentel Estrada, 78years old and wife of former President of Philippines (Joseph Ejercito Estrada). The funds in question; are one of the undisclosable sums out of $300 Million USD the Philippine government has alleged my husband squandered during his tenure as president of Philippines. Out of this alleged sum, only $200 Million was accountable and judiciously spent by him when he was the president. Then the current administration of Gloria Arroyo resolved that $100 Million USD must be refunded by my husband, and in her pursuit of this vendetta, she ordered the arrest of my husband and my son and freeze all known assets of my husband including properties at home and abroad. In fact, the attack on my family is so devastated to an extent I was confused and seriously sick.
In my effort to secure my son and my husband on bail, I refunded $50 Million USD out of $80 Million I found in my husband private basement in our home. The balance of $30 million I refused to disclose to the government in case of uncertainty because I want to use this to build and establish the future of my children and grand children abroad.
They refused to grant my husband bail, and when it became very clear that he would be going to jail, I took decision and move the fund out of Philippine to a Trust company in the Netherlands for safe keeping.
This was done through a special and well connected private agency here in Manila that specialized in helping politicians move out huge sums in cash in disguise as microfilm plates to any part of the world. My destination was to have the funds moved into the United State and deposited with a Trust company for investment into Real estate and Hotels, but because of the FBI and strong security at the US airport due to terrorists activities, they could not enter the US, instead they have it deposited with a Trust company in the Netherlands for safe keeping pending when I would get a trusted partner and investor from the US to help me receive it and move it into the State for investment proper.
Now that the saga about my husband has calm down, I want to quietly get out the funds from the Trust company for investments proper, and I would need your assistance to achieve this objective.
This necessitated me to contact you to solicit for your assistance for this purpose.
Please I am writing you this email with a heart full of pains and sorrow, and for the reasons of all I have stated above, I would want you to treat this email and its content very confidential and under no circumstances would you disclose this to anyone.

I am old and unhealthy; I would not be able to travel. Although there is restriction on traveling on my family except in the case of emergency and when it is absolutely necessary, then the government would approve.
So please be informed that the retrieval of this deposit would require your physical presence at the office complex of the Trust company in Netherlands for practical signing of the receivership documents. And I would want you to understand that it is under this condition of your traveling to meet with the firm physically and practically would convince you about the truth legitimacy of this transaction without anyone telling you so.

I plead for your acceptance of my offer and to help me for the investment of this fund in the areas I have mentioned above, and I would want our partnership to extend beyond business to a family relationship. I am willing to give you 20% of the funds for your assistance and cooperation.
After your successful retrieval of the funds from the trust company, I would invite you to visit my home here in manila Philippines to meet with my family to have concrete agreement how you shall invest and manage our business partnership.
If you agreed and accept my proposal in good faith, please send me your full details as follows; your Name, Address, Phone and Fax number and your international passport OR Drivers license identification for this preliminary stage of introduction of you to the Trust company for your invitation and clearance procedures.

But in case you don't accept my offer, please do not let me out to the security and international media as I am giving you this information in total trust and confidence.

I wait for your urgent response!!
Thanks for your anticipated cooperation!!

I remained,

Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Luisa P. Estrada.
