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:

The documents of the above funds in question was handed over to me to be
used in payment of an American oil merchant for his last oil deal with my
boss Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Already the funds have been deposited with a Finance
Company in France,where the final crediting is expected to be carried out.

While I was on the process, My Boss 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.

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 TRUST AND CREDITORS
OF FRANCE transfer the sum to you. I have decided to use this sum to relocate
to American continent and never to be connected to any of Mikhail Khodorkovsky
conglomerates.

The transaction has to be concluded in 2 weeks before Mikhail Khodorkovsky
is out on bail,Presently you maybe aware that Yukos Chief
security officer has been jail for twenty years (20yrs) for money discovered
from him.

With this ugly situation i will not buy idea of phone discussion between
both of us but at time goes i will introduce you to my only
trustee legal adviser who will be able to speak with you.

As soon as I get your willingness to comply through my Below private
email address I will give you more details.

Thank you very much

Regards,
