urgent and confidential
Dear Sir,
I am Mr Tony Adams and I represent Mr. Mikhail Khordokovsky the former C.E.O of Yukos Oil Company 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$50 million to your account. I will give you the details, but in summary, the funds are coming via a prime Bank in United.Kingdom. Please Note that this is a legitimate transaction. You will be paid 4% for your "management fees".
Funny, it doesn't sound that legitimate. Trying to move $50 million through someone you've never met? I can't imagine why anyone would think that's bogus. Who are these people? Why won't they stop emailing me? What do they want from me? I mean seriously, are there still people falling for this nonsense? Honestly. What is a top (oligarch)? It's as though he was trying to think of a better word, but forgot and sent it out anyway. I don't know if I'd rather get them from this guy or the widows of african dictators. "So, my husband committed untold atrocities and stole everyone's money before he was killed, and now I want to send it to you." Right. Because everyone who wants to launder money sends it to the United States. Don't worry - I know there's not any money. I just wish they'd leave me alone.
