The fund (US$423 Million) 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 frozen all the accounts in my boss name (Mikhail Khodorkovsky) both corporate and personal before 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 had that my boss was arrested.
YOUR ROLE:
I will present you or 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 payment center will
need to transfer the sum to you. I have decided to use this sum to relocate
to American continent and never to be connected to any of Mikhail
Khodorkovsky conglomerates. The transaction has to be concluded as soon as
possible. You will be rewarded with 10 percent of the total sum for your
partnership, should you be willing to assist us on this transacton?
As soon as I get your willingness to assist us in this deal, I will give you more details.
(1) Due to my current situation and the current circumstances around me, I cannot own a foreign account.
(2) My present financial resources will not be sufficient for me also to handle the transfer alone successfully without financial assistance from a reliable foreign partner abroad like you.

Also, your area of trade or specialization is not an hindrance to the successful execution of this deal. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me.
