dear friend,
my name is mrs. larisa sosnitskaya, personal secretary to mr. boris mikhail
khodorkovsky, the arrested chairman/ceo of yukos oil and bank menatep spb in
russia who is presently in jail. i have the documents of a large amount of
funds which he handed over to me before he was detained and tried in russia
on charges of tax evasion and for financing political parties (the union of
right forces, led by boris nemtsov and yabloko, a liberal/social democratic
party led by gregor yavlinsky) opposed to the government of mr.vladmir
putin,the president thereby leading to the freezing of his finances and
assets.
after searching through the books of your country's chambers of commerce and
industries here in russia i am contacting you to assist me to re-profile the
funds and equally invest same on his behalf. the total amount of funds to be
re-profiled is forty six million dollars (usd$46,000,000.00) and you will be
paid 20% for your management services.
