[IA_Chiefs_fan]

I enjoy messing with the email scam artists. Below is an email I received last week. The next post will be my response.


Happy New Year Dear Friend,

It is my humble pleasure to write this letter irrespective of the fact
that you do not know me. However, I got your name/company through your
country business directory here in my private search for a reliable and
trustworthy person that can handle such a confidential transaction of
this nature.

My name is Jude Estrada, son of the ex President of the Philippines
located in South East Asia. My father was impeached from office by a
backed uprising of mass demonstrators and the Senate. He is presently in
jail facing trial on
charges of corruption, embezzlement, and the mysterious charge of
plunder which might lead to life sentence.

from the regime that succeeded him. The regime government that came up
now, are made up of Estrada enemies. During my father's regime as
president of Philippines, My family realized some reasonable amount of
money from various contract deals that was successfully executed. We
decided to start making good use of this fund this year 2008.


Recently, All my families was banned from traveling outside Philippines
as a kind of house arrest. Although a lot of money has been recovered
from my family since the impeachment of my father from the power. There
are still huge sums of money in hard currencies saved with some
security fault houses outside Philippines total sum of US$24 Million
for safe keeping.

We have for some time been deliberating on how to invest this fund in a
confidential manner until we came to a conclusion to use it to buy
houses in your country and India hence I chose your country.
Therefore, you are to forward immediately the prices of houses in
highbrow areas in cities in your country for us to know how to put our
budget. This money US$24 Million is already in safe keeping and if your
conditions are good we will prepare you as the beneficiary of the total
fund through our foreign lawyer.
