Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL FROM MR. ASTON CRAIG
Good day and Compliments,
I am MR. ASTON CRAIG, a personal representative in Spain to Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky
the richest man in Russia and owner of the following companies: Chairman
CEO: YUKOS OIL (Russian Largest Oil Company) Chairman CEO: Menatep SBP Bank
(A well reputable financial institution with its branches all over the world).
I seek your partnership to accommodate the sum US$42M for us. Mr. 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 posed treat to President Vladimir Putin second tenure as
Russian president before he was re-elected On March 14, 2004. You can catch
more of the story on this site : http://www.showmenews.com/2004/Jul/20040729Busi002.asp
The fund (US$42M) 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 frozen all the accounts
in Mikhail Khodorkovsky both corporate and personal before 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 had 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.I have decided to use this sum to relocate
to American or Asian continent and never to be connected to any of Mikhail
Khodorkovsky conglomerates. The transaction has to be concluded as soon as
possible. You will be rewarded with 30% of the total sum for your partnership.
Can you be my partner on this? As soon as I get your willingness to comply,
I will give you more details. Endeavour to call or reply me through the below
stated private email for security reasons.
