General Director Novokuibyshersk Oil,
RESPOND IF YOU ARE WILLING TO HELP
VIA THIS EMAIL andrey@novokuibysherskoil.com
Dear Friend,
I have sent you this mail because of the need to open discussions with you.I
don't want you to misunderstand this offer in any aspect, if it is okay with
you I ask for your full cooperation. I am Andrey Konovalov, the General
Manager Of Novokuibyshersk Oil an international affiliate of Yukos Oil and
Gas Company based in Russia. Due to ill Health I have been Esophageal
cancer,it has defiled all forms of medical treatment and according to the
medical experts it is a terminal illness so i do not know how much longer I
have to live. I never had any real Friends in my lifetime because I never
really cared for anyone but my business.
But now I know that there is more to life than making all the money in the
world. However, certain unfolding events has made it very necessary for me
to seek your help, my company is fighting investigations and bankrupcy due
to the Yukos Oil problems in Russia, most of my assets were seized due to
this case.
Recently I received a bulk payment from South Africa Ministry for my last
contract there. I instructed them specifically not to send the funds to
Russia because of the problems,but that the funds be deposited with a
Finance and Security company in Europe on hold. A huge cash deposit of
Eighteen Million dollars was domiciled with the a finance/Security Company
overseas to my knowledge only. This is the last of my assets, now that my
health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore, I
therefore need you as a partner because you are a neutral party to help me
collect this funds deposited with the security company and disburse it
secretly based on instructions.
Because my time is short I have decided to give most of this money to
charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do
on earth. For all your good efforts you will receive 30% of the Funds and
must disburse the rest based on instructions. I want you to understand my
seriousness in this case and if you can handle the job kindly contact me via
this email kon_andrey@yahoo.de I have all the necessary documents on hand,
please contact me asap so we can discuss more.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.If you are not intreseted, please
keep it to yourself and do not respond.
Best Regards,
Andrey Konovalov
