MOSCOW 125315
Russia.

I am Dr. Jang Chung a former employee of Yukos Oil Corporation in Russia, One of Russian's Largest Oil Company.

I was a contract payment officer before the production unit of Yukos oil was sold. Due to the arrest and the conviction of the president/C.E.O. of Yukos oil Mr. Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky, I was able to divert the contract payment of one of our contractors- Dap Pipelines Corporation, to a Finance firm in Europe.This contract sums amounts to US$21,000,000.00.(Twenty-one Million United states dollars only).This money was packaged as consignment and lifted to the Finance firm, after payment approval was issued to Dap Pipelines Corporations in Russia.This application and approval was fronted by me to the appropriate authorities, so that I can get approval to disburse the money which was inventually diverted to Europe.I want you to know that this is a Top secrete and it should be treated as CONFIDENTIAL as no one is aware of this except me and your very self.

You can read more about Yukos Oil Incorporations and the convicted Boss,Mr. Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky in the below internet links.

Approvals issued to Dap Pipelines Corporation From Yukos oil and The Federal Ministry of Finance of Russia are available for your perusal. These approval enabled me in getting the money and eventually diverting and packaging it to the Finance firm in Europe in my name.

Since the Conviction of Mr. Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky for tax evation, the rest top rank staff like myself have been on the Russian government search-light. As a result of this it is not safe for me to travel to Europe to recieve this funds myself.This is because I could be tailed and traced. Therefore I require you to assist me in the receipt of this money for safekeeping and onward investment of the funds.

Your share for this assistance will be 35% of the total US$21,000,000.00. If you are ready to help me, I will let you have the details of the Finance firm in Europe so that you can commence communication with them. I will also get you a POWER OF ATTORNEY to give you the legal authority to recieve the money on my behalf. I will also get you a CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT in your name from the the Finance firm to make you the bonafide owner of the consignment.Send your contact address and your private telephone and fax numbers for the commencement of the procees of you getting the money.

Get in touch soonest with the above details so that I can give you further details on how to recieve the money.

Regards,

Dr. Jang Chung.
