Dear Friend
I am Mr. Marinchenko Alexander a personal treasurer to Mikhail Khodorkovsky,
The Richest man in Russia and owner of the following companies: Chairman
CEO: YUKOS OIL (Russian Largest Oil Company) Chairman CEO: Menatep SBP Bank

SOURCE OF FUNDS:
I have a profiling amount in an excess of US$100.5M, which I seek your Partnership
in
accommodating for me. You will be rewarded with 4% of the total sum for
your partnership. Can you be my partner on this? INTRODUCTION OF MY SELF
As a personal consultant to him, authority was handed over to me in transfer
of money of an American oil merchant for his last oil deal with my boss
Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
Already the funds have left the shore of Russia to a European private Bank
where the final crediting is expected to be carried out. While I was on
the process, My Boss got arrested for his Involvement in politics by 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 a treat to President Vladimir Putting Second
Tenure as Russian president. You can catch more of the story on this website:

YOUR ROLE: All I need from you is to stand as the beneficiary of the Above
quoted Sum and I will re-profile the funds with your Name, which will enable
The European bank transfer the sum to you. I Have decided to use this Sum
to relocate to Amarican Continent and never to be connected to any Of Mikhail
Khodorkovsky Conglomerates. As Soon as I confirm your readiness to conclude
the
Transaction with me, I will provide you with the details.
NOTE; for confidentiality reply to my private email alexanderma3@yahoo.de
