From: [email]lpn2005@luxmail.com[/email]

"Dear Sir, I am PETER LAGUTIN and [u]I represent Mr. Mikhail Khordokovsky the former C.E.O of Yukos Oil Company[/u] in Russia. I have a very sensitive and confidential brief from this top (oligarch) to ask for your partnership in re-profiling funds over US$250 million. I will give the details, but in summary, the funds are coming via Bank Menatep.

This is a legitimate transaction. You will be paid 10% for your "management fees". If you are interested, please write back by [email]email.lpn2005@luxmail.com[/email] lqn2005@hotmail.com and provide me with your confidential telephone number, fax number and email address and I will provide further details and instructions.

Please keep this confidential; we can’t afford more political problems. Finally, please note that this must be concluded within two weeks. Please write back promptly.I will also suggest you visit these news sites on the internet to be better informed about this project. http://www.winne.com/topinterviews/khodorkovsky.htm http://newsfromrussia.com/main/2003/11/13/51215.html http://www.supportmbk.com/mbk/mbk_bio.cfm http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Mikhail_B._Khodorkovsky http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/moscow/khodorkovskyinterview.html http://www.forbes.com/finance/lists/75/2004/LIR.jhtml?passListIdu&passYear

This is sounds like a variation of the scam that was being perpetrated in African countries which promised quick wealth for a modest investment. Naturally, the suckers that kicked in never actually saw a dime.

Kevin, I used to get these types of emails from the First Lady of Nigeria asking for my bank account # so they could send me 10% of 10 million dollars that her deceased husband saved up as President of Nigeria. Probably the same folks who sent you yours. :caiphas:
