The fund (US$4.2M) 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 freeze all
the accounts in my boss name (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/corresponding bank will need to 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 as soon as possible. You will be rewarded
with reasonable percentage of the total sum for your partnership and
assistance Can you honestly be our partner on this transaction? If yes do
reach me or write at the following email: *
