The fund (US$423M) in question was approved by the Government of Russia
for payment of various YUKOS OIL contractors/suppliers to prevent them
from loosing the money they invested in the numerous contracts they
executed for the above firm. The Government had already concluded plans
to freeze all the accounts in my boss name (Mikhail Khodorkovsky) both
corporate and personaland today have decided to sell off the assets of
all Yukos Oilcorporation.I connived with the Accountant General of YUKOS
OIL (who is also my partner in this transaction) to raise a memo
stating that YUKOS OIL owe contractors the above amount which was finally
approved for payment after some deliberations. 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.
YOUR ROLE:
I will present you / your company as one of the contractors we are
owing so that you can stand as the beneficiary of the above quoted sum or
part of the fund according to your financial strength or the strength of
your company. I will arrange for the documentation which the payee bank
will need to transfer the sum to you. The transaction has to be
concluded as soon as possible. You will be rewarded with 10% of the total sum
for your partnership. Can you be my partner on this?
If this proposal is acceptable to you, Please send me your direct and
private, telephone and fax number and email address to enbale me furnish
you with more information.
Regards
MR.KIMAEVA LIOUDMILA
