Dear Friend,
Permit us to seek your attention in so informal a manner. My Name is
MR. ROLAND WEHRLI, one of the accounts directors to MIKHAIL HODORKOVSKY,
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 in an urgent financial business of
US$28 Million. (Twenty Eight Million United States Dollars)
My Boss MIKHAIL KHODORKOVSKY was arrested in October 2003 for his
involvement in politics and the financing of opposing political parties
which posed a treat to President Vladimir Putin's second tenure as Russian
president before he was re-elected on March 14, 2004. You can read more of
this on the web sites below

The Russian Government Authority had already concluded plans to freeze all
the accounts in the name of Mikhail Khodorkovsky both corporate and
personal. However, in other to boost the investor confidence in the
Russian Economy also approved the payment of millions of Dollars to all
YUKOS OIL Contractors and suppliers. The Fund US$28M involved was approved
by the Russian Authorities as part of payments to the various YUKOS OIL
contractors/suppliers to prevent them from loosing the money they invested
in the numerous contracts they executed for the above YUKOS. I and the
Accountant General of YUKOS OIL (who is also my partner in this business)
have already secured the release of the above amount for our personal use
since we have actually paid all contractors.
We intend to present you or your company as one of the
contractors/beneficiary of the above sum according to your financial
strength or the strength of your company. We will make all arrangements
for the documentation, which the payee bank will need to transfer the sum
to your nominated account. We have decided to use part of this sum to
relocate our families out of Russia due to the present insecurity we face
We cannot lay direct claims to this payment, as we need to present a
foreign person or company to stand as the beneficiary. This business is
safe and we will be willing to reward you with 20% of the total sum for
your partnership. As soon as I get your willingness to assist us and your
direct contact telephone and fax numbers, I will provide more details.
Thank you.
Best Regards
MR. ROLAND WEHRLI
