Subject: Dear friend
Muniakin Andrey
General Director Novokuibyshersk Oil,
RESPOND IF YOU ARE WILLING TO HELP
Dear friend,
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 Andrey
Konovalov, the General Manager of Novokuibyshersk Oil an international
affiliate
of Yukos Oil and Gas Company based in Russia. Due to ill Health I have
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 to be deposited
with a Finance and Security company in Europe on hold. A huge cash
deposit of Twenty-Five Million dollars was domiciled with a finance/Security
Company overseas 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 security company 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 on this email(muni_akin02@gawab.com)
for security purposes. I have all the necessary documents on hand;
please contact me ASAP so we can discuss more.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation. If you are not interested,
please keep it to yourself and do not respond.
Best Regards,
Muniakin Andrey
