Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mark Taylor of the European Reagion of Close Brother Treasury Serives LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM here in London Our firm is a security company of high repute with years of outstanding service to the People of United Kingdom and Europe and Africa. I have decided to contact you through this medium based on business proposal that will be of mutual benefit to both of us and our unborn generation. I have not discussed this transaction with anybody because it is of top secret.

To be explicit and straight to the point. Some time early 1997, a reputable client of ours deposited a consignment in our company's vault for safe keeping. And since then our client has failed to come forward to claim his consignment, which has accumulated a considerable amount of money in demurrage. Consequently, in my bid to contact this client to redeem the demurrage which his consignment had accumulated I discovered that my client was arrested by the Putti Government and have been in jail.This client happens to be Mikhail Khodorkovsky 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 it’s Branches all over the world). As the personal account officer I am fully aware that none of his benefactors has come forward to claim the consignment with us, which means that non of his relatives or aids had any knowledge of this consignment.

Hence out of curiosity I decided to secretly open the two boxes that our client deposited in our vault. And to my surprise I discovered that the two boxes that were registered as family treasures by our client actually contained a considerable amount of money in United States Dollars amounting to about US$100.5million. Since this development, I have been nursing plans secretly. I also found out from enquiries and the foreign media that my client siphoned a lot of money from his country while he was in office as a Minsiter. It is my conviction that the consignment in our vault was part of the money that our client siphoned, and now that he will be convinted there is no trace to this money in our care.I am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me in transferring this money out of London to your country for immediate investment with your assistance.

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. 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 In 2 weeks 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.

I have also decided that you will generously be entitled to 15% of the total amount. Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me on this transaction, I will immediately arrange and transfer all the rights of ownership of this consignment to your name to facilitate your easy clearance and transfer of the complete funds to your country.Secondly, I will arrange for the consignment already labelled as family treasure to be lifted by diplomatic means to our security company's correspondence in Spain where I will meet with you. You have nothing to worry about, as I will be there to assist you in anyway necessary with all proper documentation. This transaction is 100% risk free.Please maintain absolute confidentiality on this matter.Please reply to the above email address or call me immediately upon the receipt of this letter. marktaylor49@yahoo.com
