The fund (US$423M) in question was approved by the Government of Russia for payment of various YUKOS OIL contractors/suppliers to prevent them from loosing the money they invested in the numerous contracts they executed for the above firm. The Government had already concluded plans to freeze all the accounts in my boss name (Mikhail Khodorkovsky) both corporate and personal and today have decided to sell off the assets of all Yukos Oil corporation. I connived with the Accountant General of YUKOS OIL (who is also my
partner in this transaction) to raise a memo stating that YUKOS OIL owe contractors the above amount which was finally approved for payment after some deliberations. Actually, we have paid all our contractors both local and foreign because they agitated for their payment when they heard that my boss was arrested.
YOUR ROLE:
I will present you / your company as one of the contractors we are
owing so that you can stand as the beneficiary of the above quoted sum or part of the fund according to your financial strength or the
strength of your company. I will arrange for the documentation which
the payee bank will need to transfer the sum to you. The transaction
has to be concluded as soon as possible. You will be rewarded
with 10% of the total sum for your partnership. Can you be my partner
on this?
If this proposal is acceptable to you, Please send me your direct and
private, telephone and fax number and email address to enbale me
furnish you with more information.
Regards
Ms KIMAEVA LIOUDMILA
