Subject: PARTNERSHIP WITH TRUST
Dear Friend,
My name is Barrister Allen Fox of AKIN Gump Law Firm in London,a
senior Advocate of Law and a personal solicitor 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 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 current President
of Russia,thereby leading to the freezing of his finances and assets.
You can read more about his ordeal from the following sites:

After searching through the books of your Country's Chambers of
Commerce and Industries, 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 United State
Dollars (USD$46,000,000.00) and you will be paid 20% for your
"Management Fees".
This is a legitimate transaction. If you are interested, please
write back by mail and provide me with your confidential telephone
number, fax number and email address and I will provide further
details and instructions.
Please keep this very confidential; we can't afford more
political problems. Finally, please note that this must be concluded
within two weeks. Please write back promptly. Write me back through
