Subject: REQUEST FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE
FROM STEVEN THEEDE
THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF YUKOS
CEO: YUKOS OIL (Russian Largest Oil Company).
RUSSIA.
Dear Friend,
URGENT BUSSINESS PROPOSAL
I got your contact address after my extensive search via your country white
pages for a God-fearing and trust-worthy person to bestow this transaction
which is the only hope of survival . When i got your address, I prayed and
meditated fervently over it and i committed it into the hands of God that
you should be the rightful person to help me .
Permit me to seek your attention in so informal a manner. I am STEVEN
THEEDE, the chief executive of Yukos to MIKHAIL KHODORKOVSKY, the richest
man in Russia , Chairman CEO: YUKOS OIL (Russian Largest Oil Company).I seek
your partnership in an urgent financial business of US$18 Million. .
My Boss MIKHAIL KHODORKOVSKY was arrested in October 2003 for his
involvement in politics and the financing of opposing political parties
which posed a treat to President Vladimir Putin's second tenure in 2004 as
Russian president.
You can read more of this on the web sites below:

The Russian Government had already concluded plans to freeze all corporate
and personal accounts in the name of Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
However, in other to boost the investor confidence in the Russian Economy ,
We decided to approve the payment of millions of Dollars to all YUKOS OIL
Contractors and Suppliers.
The Fund US$18M involved was approved by the Russian Authorities as part of
payments to the various YUKOS OIL contractors/suppliers to prevent them from
loosing the money they invested in the numerous contracts they executed for
YUKOS OIL.
In my position as the chief executive of YUKOS OIL before I resigned on
July 21, 2006, I raised a memo stating that YUKOS OIL owed US$18M to a
foreign contractor and the Russian Authority have approved this amount for
payment.
Actually, we have paid all our contractors both local and foreign because
they agitated for their payment when they heard that my boss was arrested.
I now seek your consent to present you or your company as one of the
contractors we owe so that you can stand as the beneficiary of the above
sum.
I will furnish you with the necessary documents, which the payee bank will
need to transfer the sum to your nominated account.
I have decided to use part of this sum to relocate my family out of Russia
due to the present insecurity we face.
I cannot lay direct claims to this payment, as i need to present a foreign
person or company to stand as the beneficiary.
This business is safe and we will be willing to reward you with 30% of the
total sum for your partnership. As soon as I get your willingness to assist
i will provide more details.
Please contact me immediately via my private secured email stated below
giving your direct contact telephone and fax numbers.
Sincerely,
Steven Theede
