Dear friend,

I have a profiling amount in an excess of US$423M, which I seek your partnership
in accommodating for me. You will be rewarded with 40% of the total sum for
your partnership. Can you be my partner on this?

INTRODUCTION OF MY SELF:

richest man in Russia and owner of the following companies: Chairman CEO:
YUKOS OIL (Russian Most Largest Oil Company) Chairman CEO: Menatep SBP Bank
(A well reputable financial institution with its branches all over the world)

SOURCE OF FUNDS:
The documents of the above funds in question was handed over to me to be
used in payment of an American oil merchant for his last oil deal with my
boss Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Already the funds have been deposited with ACCESS
TRESURY SERVICES PLC UK ,where the final crediting is expected to be carried
out. While I was on the process, My Boss got arrested for his involvement
on politics in financing the leading and opposing political parties (the
Union of Right Forces, led by Boris Nemtsov, and Yabloko, a liberal/social
democratic party led by Gregor Yavlinsky) which poses treat to President
Vladimir Putin second tenure as Russian president. You can catch more of
the story on this

YOUR ROLE:
All I need from you is to stand as the beneficiary of the above quoted sum
and I will arrange for the documentation which will enable ACCESS TRESURY
SERVICES PLC UK 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 in 2 weeks
before Mikhail Khodorkovsky is out on bail,Presently you maybe aware that
Yukos Chief security officer has been jail for twenty years (20yrs) for money
discovered from him. With this ugly situation i will not buy idea of phone
discussion between both of us but at time goes i will introduce you to my
only trustee legal adviser who will be able to speak with you.

As soon as I get your willingness to comply through my above private email
address I will give you more details.

Thank you very much

Regards,

KIMAEVE LIOUDMILA
