Dear friend,

I am Mr. Alexander Gedike a personal treasurer to Mikhail Khodorkovsky the Richest man in Russia and owner of the following companies: Chairman/CEO:
YUKOS OIL (Russian's Largest Oil Company), Chairman/CEO: Menatep SBP Bank (A well reputable financial institution with its Branches all over the world).

SOURCE OF FUNDS:
I have a profiling amount in an excess of US$35,000,000 which I seek your Partnership in accommodating for me. You will be rewarded with 10% of the total sum for your partnership. Can you be my partner on this?

INTRODUCTION OF MYSELF:
As a personal treasurer to him, authority was handed over to me to transfer some money to an American oil merchant for his last oil deal with my boss Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

Already the funds have left the shore of Russia to a European private Bank where the final crediting is expected to be carried out. While I was on the process, My Boss got arrested for his Involvement in politics by 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 a treat to President Vladimir Putin's Second Tenure as Russian president.

You can catch more of the story on this website:

YOUR ROLE:
All I need from you is to stand as the beneficiary of the above quoted Sum and I will re-profile the funds with your name, which will enable the European bank transfer the sum to you with the aid of a Security firm in London. The transaction has to be concluded before Mikhail Khodorkovsky is out on bail. As Soon as I confirm your readiness to conclude the transaction with me, I will provide you with the details.

Please respond to my private email which is:alexander_gedike71@walla.com

Thank you very much

Regards

Alexander Gedike (Mr.)

obviously it's nonsense - but it actually makes more sense with russia than nigeria - with Putin after all of the oligarchs there's a certain plausibility..

And why can't he transfer it direct to this American oil merchant of whom he speaks?

What would Khodorkovsky be giving an American £35m for anyway?

Hey ho.
