Subject: Mikhail oil resource
Good Day,
I am Gary J. Little, a private investigator in uk, my client Mr. Mikhail
Khodorkovsky, an oil magnate of Yukos Oil Company charged with tax evasion
by the Russian Government for political reasons seek your
partnership/proxy to invest some amount under your supervision to avoid
seizure since his company's main assets, production units, refineries and
petrol stations, have been sold in series of staged bankruptcy auctions.

Mikhail Khodorkovsky intend to liquidate a large investment in cash and
structures offshore, and take the capital appr. derived to provide a new
investment fund under your management. As you can see, his assets are
frozen and auctioned, meanwwhile there is an excess of USD5b lying in
offshore accounts, unable to be used as guarantee. The funds being
liquidated arose from independent investments of the group, outside the
russian soil, so we can legitimately do so, only if this is done quietly.
If the Russian authorites hear about this, we shall have to tender it for
bankruptcy auctions.
You will stand as the beneficiary of the fund after a lawyer has arranged
documentation which would enable release the sum to you. It is my client's
wish to invest this sum outside Russia and never to be connected with any
of political opponents. The transaction has to be concluded before Mikhail
Khodorkovsky is out from jail. As soon as I get your willingness to comply
I will give you more details. contact me via;little_gary@ecunet.org
Thank you very much.
Gary J. Little
