IMMEDIATE ATTENTION NEEDED:

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

FROM: GEORGE WALKER BUSH
DEAR SIR / MADAM,

I AM GEORGE WALKER BUSH, SON OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH, AND CURRENTLY SERVING AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS LETTER MIGHT SURPRISE YOU BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT MET NEITHER IN PERSON NOR BY CORRESPONDENCE. I CAME TO KNOW OF YOU IN MY SEARCH FOR A RELIABLE AND REPUTABLE PERSON TO HANDLE A VERY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS TRANSACTION, WHICH INVOLVES THE TRANSFER OF A HUGE SUM OF MONEY TO AN ACCOUNT REQUIRING MAXIMUM CONFIDENCE.

I AM WRITING YOU IN ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE PRIMARILY TO SEEK YOUR ASSISTANCE IN ACQUIRING OIL FUNDS THAT ARE PRESENTLY TRAPPED IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ. MY PARTNERS AND I SOLICIT YOUR ASSISTANCE IN COMPLETING A TRANSACTION BEGUN BY MY FATHER, WHO HAS LONG BEEN ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN THE EXTRACTION OF PETROLEUM IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND BRAVELY SERVED HIS COUNTRY AS DIRECTOR OF THE UNITED STATES CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY.

IN THE DECADE OF THE NINETEEN-EIGHTIES, MY FATHER, THEN VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SOUGHT TO WORK WITH THE GOOD OFFICES OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ TO REGAIN LOST OIL REVENUE SOURCES IN THE NEIGHBORING ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN. THIS UNSUCCESSFUL VENTURE WAS SOON FOLLOWED BY A FALLING OUT WITH HIS IRAQI PARTNER, WHO SOUGHT TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL OIL REVENUE SOURCES IN THE NEIGHBORING EMIRATE OF KUWAIT, A WHOLLY- OWNED U.S.-BRITISH SUBSIDIARY.

MY FATHER RE-SECURED THE PETROLEUM ASSETS OF KUWAIT IN 1991 AT A COST OF SIXTY-ONE BILLION U.S. DOLLARS ($61,000,000,000). OUT OF THAT COST.

THIRTY-SIX BILLION DOLLARS ($36,000,000,000) WERE SUPPLIED BY HIS PARTNERS IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA AND OTHER PERSIAN GULF MONARCHIES, AND SIXTEEN BILLION DOLLARS ($16,000,000,000) BY GERMAN AND JAPANESE PARTNERS.

BUT MY FATHER'S FORMER IRAQI BUSINESS PARTNER REMAINED IN CONTROL OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ AND ITS PETROLEUM RESERVES.

MY FAMILY IS CALLING FOR YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE IN FUNDING THE REMOVAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ AND ACQUIRING THE PETROLEUM ASSETS OF HIS COUNTRY, AS COMPENSATION FOR THE COSTS OF REMOVING HIM FROM POWER.

UNFORTUNATELY, OUR PARTNERS FROM 1991 ARE NOT WILLING TO SHOULDER THE BURDEN OF THIS NEW VENTURE, WHICH IN ITS UPCOMING PHASE MAY COST THE SUM OF 100 BILLION TO 200 BILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000,000 - $200,000,000,000), BOTH IN THE INITIAL ACQUISITION AND IN LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT.

WITHOUT THE FUNDS FROM OUR 1991 PARTNERS, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE THE OIL REVENUE TRAPPED WITHIN IRAQ. THAT IS WHY MY FAMILY AND OUR COLLEAGUES ARE URGENTLY SEEKING YOUR GRACIOUS ASSISTANCE. OUR DISTINGUISHED COLLEAGUES IN THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION INCLUDE THE SITTING VICE- PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, RICHARD CHENEY, WHO IS AN ORIGINAL PARTNER IN THE IRAQ VENTURE AND FORMER HEAD OF THE ALLIBURTON OIL COMPANY, AND CONDOLEEZA RICE, WHOSE PROFESSIONAL DEDICATION TO THE VENTURE WAS DEMONSTRATED IN THE NAMING OF A CHEVRON OIL TANKER AFTER HER.


I WOULD BESEECH YOU TO TRANSFER A SUM EQUALING TEN TO TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (10-25 %) OF YOUR YEARLY INCOME TO OUR ACCOUNT TO AID IN THIS IMPORTANT VENTURE. THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL FUNCTION AS OUR TRUSTED INTERMEDIARY. I PROPOSE THAT YOU MAKE THIS TRANSFER BEFORE THE FIFTEENTH (15TH) OF THE MONTH OF APRIL.


I KNOW THAT A TRANSACTION OF THIS MAGNITUDE WOULD MAKE ANYONE APPREHENSIVE AND WORRIED. BUT I AM ASSURING YOU THAT ALL WILL BE WELL AT THE END OF THE DAY. A BOLD STEP TAKEN SHALL NOT BE REGRETTED, I ASSURE YOU. PLEASE DO BE INFORMED THAT THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION IS 100% LEGAL. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO CO-OPERATE IN THIS TRANSACTION, PLEASE CONTACT OUR INTERMEDIARY REPRESENTATIVES TO FURTHER DISCUSS THE MATTER.

I PRAY THAT YOU UNDERSTAND OUR PLIGHT. MY FAMILY AND OUR COLLEAGUES WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL. PLEASE REPLY IN STRICT CONFIDENCE TO THE CONTACT NUMBERS BELOW.

SINCERELY WITH WARM REGARDS,

GEORGE WALKER BUSH

I am Dr Pimentel luisa Estrada, the wife of Joseph Ejercito Estrada, former president of the Philippines. I have children with my husband Jose, Jacqueline and Jude. Two sons and a daugther. This mail may be coming to you as a surprise or an article but it is very real. I gave the mail to my daugther Jude to send the mail to any contacts she sees and may be a God fearing person will listen to our plight. I will want you as the receiver to read through it and think very well if you can help or render us any assistance. My husband Joseph Ejercito estrada was elected as the 13th President of the Philippines in May 1998 by the people of Philippines due to his popularity in the film industry made him to win the largest popularity in the history of election in Philippines. He has attain the position of Senate in 1987, then vice-president in May 1992 and later become the presdent 1998. My husband became mayor of his hometown, San Juan in 1969 but it was 1972 that he had a string of public successes. My husband was named one of the ten Outstanding Young Men in Public Administration. He was also named Most Outstanding Mayor and Foremost Nationalist and Most Outstanding Metro Manila Mayor. My husband is recently accused of illegal acquire some four Billion Peso ($80M) during his 31 months in office as President backed up by an uprising of mass Demonstrators and Senate Traitors. They also said that he has skimmed off tobacco excise Taxes benefitting from government business deals. Most of them benefitted from my husband's generousity when he was in office. But they just turned around to be the ones to impeach him. I have tried every possible means to get him out of Detention without success. The Despotic forces in power appear bent in deriding him, rubbishing his achievements while freezing all his known Bank accounts. He has been accused of economic plunder carrying the maximum penalty of death. To the worst of it all, all other wives of my husband especailly Guia Gomez and some of his children born outside wedlock are testifying against us. In conjunction with the PCGG funded by the recent President Arroyo Macapagal Gloria.

These are some of the allegations file before my husband in the impeachment trial;

1. Gov. Luis Singson, a longtime friend of my husband, said he provided the my husband with more than $8 million in payoffs from illegal gambling and $2.7 million from tobacco taxes.

2. Witnesses testify one of an account in the Philippines third largest bank held millions of dollars in bribes collected by my husband. Equitable PCI Bank President George Go resigns. The banks senior vice president, Clarissa Ocampo, said she saw my husband sign a false name to documents withdrawing $10 million from a secret personal account.

3. On Dec 31 Five synchronized bomb attacks kill 22 people and injure more than 120 in Manila, days before the trial is to return from holiday recess. Police accuse Muslim rebels but many fear the bombs may be linked to the trial.

4. That my husband received about $8.5 million in pay-offs from illegal gambling operators.

5. That my husband participated in a real estate business controlled by me and son Jose despite a prohibition on outside business interests while in office.

My husband is suffering from bronchitis and emphysema right now and he detained at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center in Quezon City in hospital prison outside Manila where the life of my husband is in danger. I will let you know that it is political motivated by Gloria Arroyo. Meanwhile, the government has said that it may drop rebellion charges against my husband allies Senator Juan Ponce Enrile and the former ambassador to the United State Ernesto Maceda because they were in the side of my usband,both men were later jailed by the government of Gloria Arroyo that they instigated a march on the presidential palace by supporters of my husband.These are all political. All these are done to have my husband death.

Presently life has not been easy for my children and I,my travelling documents have been seized by the government and they restricted me and my children to have access to my husband.

Haven seen the way things are going with us. He decided to let me know that he deposited some money with security companies in bangkok, Thailand and Amsterdam,Netherland.He said that he deposited the sumof twenty Million dollars $20,000,000 in my name (Pimentel Luisa Estrada) in Amsterdam. Now I want to start a new life with the money.I want to invest the money outside Philippines.

What I am begging you is to assist me in receiving the money on my behalf. You will have to represent me in receiving the money with the security company. I have discussed with the security company here in Metropolitan Manila about this arrangement, they assured me that the money will be release to my representative. In that regards, I have gone to collect the documents needed from Gomez Carlos who my husband kept the documents with.

If you are willing to assist me in receiving the money. I will send me your full names,contact Fax and Telephone numbers and your first page of your international passport,to enable me forward your information to the security company.

Once you get back to me, we will discuss the percentage you will liken to take for your kind assistance. I will be communicating with you by email because my telephone lines are not safe for the transaction because of the heighten security around me and my family.

You can respond to my daughter's email address: Judeestradaasia@yahoo.com because I can not be reaching you all the time.

419 scammers take US con artist for $750,000
By Lester Haines
Posted: 10/03/2003 at 13:24 GMT


A businessman in Winona, Minnesota, has been taken for a cool $750,000 by Nigerian 419 scam artists, the Winona Daily News reports.

Nothing new there, you might think, but $250,000 of the cash did not actually belong to victim Carl Fratzke. Incredibly, Fratzke had pulled a scam of his own and defrauded seven friends to raise the capital. The balance came from his own savings.

Tempted, as ever, by promises of riches beyond the wildest dreams of avarice, Fratzke asked chums to invest in a scheme whereby he would buy gloves and sell them to Wal-Mart at a hefty profit. He promptly sent the cash straight to the 419 scammers.

"They sent me a facsimile of the check they were going to send me," Fratzke later testified before a presumably astounded judge. "They said: 'This is coming'."

Well, it didn't, and now Fratzke faces sentencing on 31 March on "two counts of theft by swindle and one count of theft by check". If he's lucky, the beak will hand down a stiff sentence. Jail is probably the only place he'll be safe from his friends and investors - and his own stupidity.

The indignation of this one is amusing!

----------------------

Dear Friend,

It bothers me when rumors about all the email you get, especially the one about how every thing you get through email from Africa is a scam or joke.

The rumor circulates like wild fire, I am pissed off about it. You know, I have been working with the former President of my country MADAGASCAR, and I have some thing to discuss with you, but this rumor kept me thinking and the discussion being delayed. Now I have made up my mind to talk to you about my proposal because I know this is real wealth. Find below the Details;

CONFIDENTIAL/URGENT REPLY.

Dear Good Friend,

My name is Mr. Silver Orkhali, I am one of the former advisers to the former President of Madagascar, Mr. Didier Ratsiraka on financial matters. I am compelled to contact you and reveal this
confidential issue to you due to the prevailing circumstances in my country Madagascar. And I hope you will maintain confidentiality. During the last Presidential election conducted by the former government of Mr. Didier Ratsiraka, in my country, the former President withdrew large sums of fund in
U.S.dollars for his re-election campaigns and to buy more votes from the opposition members. The funds were kept in the offices of the former Presidents confidants which my office was among.

During the campaign and the election proper, the former President spent so much money, large part of the fund in my custody was spent leaving the balance of $15 million U.S.A. dollars, but the election was marred by civil unrest led by the leader of the opposing party Mr.. Marc Ravalomanana who eventually became the President of Madagascar as a result of many deaths, there was interventions of some world leaders which resulted to the ousting of the former President by the opposition party.

Fortunately,before the total collapse of the government of Mr. D
Ratsiraka, I was able to move the fund balance of $15 million dollars in a disguised manner as a 'diplomatic baggage' by cargo out of the country to the Netherlands, and the baggage was deposited into a security company there in Netherlands through their affiliate in Africa. Before his exile I have declared to him (the former President) that we lost the money to fire set on my office by the opposition supporters,in fact my office was really burnt down. I have decided to divert this fund which I declared to be an "diplomatic consignment" belonging to my foreign partner, as nobody have requested for it till date. It was obvious and known that during that political crises, majority of foreigners from America, Europe and Asia left Madagascar in a rush, this informed my idea to lebel the consignment diplomatic, and would not be tampered. I have not been into business before, therefore as 'am preparing my self I need a trust-worthy person to guide me into this new life, after this
consignment have been secured.

Meanwhile I am in Netherlands to monitor and make sure it 's in the company. More importantly, this message is to inform you that I seek for your assistance in terms of partnership as my foreign partner/beneficiary as I have declared it to belong to my foreign partner. In view of this I will write authorization letter to the company on your behalf to enable them release the consignment to you while you are in Netherlands with me.
This will enhance delivery and lodgement into your account, within the shortest possible time for safe keeping, and for investment. Please note that this transaction demands the highest degree of trust and confidentiality between us, as I have taken adequate measure to assure safety and risk free.
In appreciation of your assistance, I have worked out the sharing ratio for this transaction as follows; 70% for my investment in your country under your close supervisions and directions. 25% for you as a result of your assistance.. 5% for all incidental expenses.

If you have any question do not hesitate to ask me. Upon your immediate favorable reply I would be able to send to you the guide lines on how we shall actualize and bring to successful conclusion of the transaction. I would also make available the telephone number of the company to you for possible contact. All communications to me should be by emails or telephone, in your reply include your telephone and fax numbers. As I wait for your reply, stay Blessed.

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Siver Orkhali
