REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
Dear Mr. Bernanke.
I am Mr. Richard F. Syron. I am CEO and Head of FreddieMac. I have found your contact email address listed on the U. S. Federal Reserve Home Page and it is my wish to do business with you, hence your receipt of this letter.
I have an business suggestion for you. I am here-by seeking your service in helping me receive a large amount of money. Your services will be paid for, and you will be a partner, if my offer is accepted.
The Mortgage business is a very good idea in terms of investment. If you are assure me that you are fully capable of handling it effectively,i will give you my full support. I had purchasing of stocks from the stock market in mind but upon further inquiry, i found out that that Mortgage business is still in a boom in North America especially where the cost of production is low, and the raw materials are accessible. But back to business, i am offering you a 90% partnership in the business (in other words 90% the stock/shares of the company). Just to let you know, in terms of the Mortgage Business, i have Top Business Homes all over the united states in the south west and south east area willing to sell Homes lower than the sale price due to the economic and political instability in the region right now.
Here is my need of you. i have been delegated by my colleagues to look into a partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of $10,500,000.00 (TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSANDS AND ZERO CENTS US BACKED DOLLARS). please to note that this transaction is %100 safe and we hope to commence the tranfer within seven (7) days of the receipt of the following informations:
(a) company name and beneficiary name
(2) your Personal Tel. Number and Fax Number
(c) Bank account/Sort/ABA/Routing numbers were the funds will be transferred to.
For security purpose, due to telecoms interception in our country, I shall not accept or acknowledge any phone call. Only fax messages/emails would be treated in relation to this proposal. Should you be further interested, I would prefer you to reach me soon and finally after that I shall provide you with more details.
Regards,
Richard F. Syron
CEO FannieMac
