They need my help very urgently, but I’ll be rewarded with app. 180 million dollars for my efforts. Here’s how that goes :

“Dear Friend,I have a profiling amount in an excess of US$450M, which I seek your partnership in accommodating for me. You will be rewarded with 40% of the total sum for your partnership. Can you be my partner on this?

Already the funds have been deposited with A TRESURY SERVICES PLC UK ,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.

I’ve been wondering whether or not to answer this. It’s so tempting. But I don’t know if the ‘Russian Scammers‘ are as stupid as the African ones. Maanzand has created a pretty good story around his Nigerian Friends. You should read [ 'My Friend Kennedy Mobutu'.]

To be clear, I’ve reported Miss Kimaeve Lioudmila with the FCCU because there was no attractive picture of her attached to the mail. And because I didn’t buy the story.

As a personal friend of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Miss Lioudmila, I know that he doesn’t send out emails to people like me. Because I know he knows that people like me who get this sort of e-mail, will laugh about it and make it public.

I must say Mister Khodorkovsky doesn’t seem to take much care of his internet PR, because the reply address kimeva3@hotmail.com doesn’t seem to be related to the companies you, Miss Lioudmila, have named in the message above.
