Subject: URGENT ATTENTION
Dear Beloved Brother/Sister,
I have sent you this mail because of the need to open discussions with you.
I don't want you to misunderstand this offer in any aspect, if it is okay
with you i ask for your full cooperation. I am Alexander Gusinsky, the
Franchise Owner of Yukos Engineering an international affiliate of Yukos
Oil and Gas Company based in Russia. Due to ill Health I have been
Esophageal cancer, it has defiled all forms of medical treatment and
according to the medical experts it is a terminal illness so i do not know
how much longer i have to live. I never had any real Friends in my lifetime
because I never really cared for anyone but my business. But now I know
that there is more to life than making all the money in the world.
However, certain unfolding events has made it very necessary for me to seek
your help, my company is fighting investigations and bankruptcy due to the
Yukos Oil problems in Russia, most of my assets were seized due to this
case. Recently I received a bulk payment from South Africa Ministry for my
last contract there. I instructed them specifically not to send the funds
to Russia because of the problems, but that the funds be deposited with a
Bank in Europe on hold. A huge cash deposit of Twenty-Five Million, Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars was domiciled with the Bank to my knowledge only.
This is the last of my assets, now that my health has deteriorated so
badly, I cannot do this myself anymore, I therefore need you as a partner
because you are a neutral party to help me collect this funds deposited
with the Bank and disburse it secretly based on instructions. Because my
time is short I have decided to give most of this money to charity
organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on
earth.
For all your good efforts you will receive 30% of the Funds and must
disburse the rest based on instructions. I want you to understand my
seriousness in this case and if you can handle the job kindly contact me
via my email. I have all the necessary documents on hand, please contact me
asap So we can discuss more. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Best Regards,
Alexander Gusinsky
