Dear friend,
I have a profiling amount of US$5,000,000.00, which I seek your partnership in accommodating for me. You will be rewarded with 40% of the total sum for your partnership. Can you be my partner on this?
INTRODUCTION:
I am Mr. James Martins, a personal secretary to Mikhail Khodorkovsky the Richest man in Russia and owner of the following companies: Chairman CEO: YUKOS OIL (Russian Most Largest Oil Company) Chairman CEO: Menatep SBP Bank (A well reputable financial institution with its branches all over the world)
SOURCE OF FUNDS:
My Boss, Mikhail Khodorkovsky got arrested for his involvement on politics in financing the leading and opposing political parties (the Union of Right Forces, led by Boris Nemtsov, and Yabloko, a liberal/social democratic party led by Gregor Yavlinsky) which poses treat to President Vladimir Putin second tenure as Russian president. You can catch more of the story on this: <http://newsfromrussia.com/main/2003/11/13/51215.html>
Already the fund have been deposited with VFS FINANCIAL & SECURITY SERVICES S.A, before my Boss was rested for Evading Tax, which he is likely to be jailed. He instructed me to use the fund to purchase Gold for him from South Africa. While I was on the process, he was arrested and his opponents also want me to be killed. I then decided to seek for an asylum here in South Africa for my safety. My financial situation here in South Africa is deteriorating, I informed my Boss and he gave me order to make use of the fund. Right now I cannot claim the Fund because of my Asylum status, the law does not permit me to have such money in possession/account, hence I contacted you so that I can use your name to apply for the release of the fund as a foreign business partner to my Boss and in that regards, the VFS FINANCIAL & SECURITY SERVICES S.A will release the fund to you after proper documentation which I will arrange here in South Africa.
YOUR ROLE:
All I need from you is to stand as the beneficiary of the above quoted sum and I will arrange for the documentation, which will enable VFS FINANCIAL & SECURITY SERVICES S.A transfer, the sum to you. Please note that this business is RISK FREE and the transfer will be done legally to your bank account. I have decided to use this sum to relocate overseas and you will advice me on profitable business to start in your country. As soon as I get your willingness to comply to my proposition by providing me with your company/individual profiles, phone and fax numbers, personal address, identification, I will give you more details.
Thank you very much
Regards
Mr. James Martins
