Dear Friend,

I know this is an unconventional way of introducing a big and profitable business deal, but I however want you to take your time to read my letter carefully, you will understand the necessity for my action. I have a profiling sum in an excess of $25M (Twenty Five Million United States Dollars) which I seek your partnership in accommodating for me.

INTRODUCTION OF MY SELF:
I am Ustin Gavrie, a Personal Assistance to Mikhail Khodorkovsky the richest man in Russia and owner of the following companies: Chairman CEO: YUKOS OIL (Russian Most Largest Oil Company) Chairman CEO: Menatep SBP Bank (A reputable financial institution with its branches all over the world).

SOURCE OF FUNDS:
The documents of the above funds in question were handed over to me by my boss Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky for safe keeping. The said funds has been in fixed deposit for five years in a Bank in the United Kingdom (name of the Bank undisclosed for now), before the fund was deposited, my boss has long given me Power of Attorney to carry out financial dealings on his behalf and that of the company before he was arrested for his involvement in politics especially financing the leading and opposing political parties.

YOUR ROLE:
I have been contacted by the Bank as the P.A. to Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky that the fund has matured hence ready for profiling. All I need from you is to stand as the beneficiary of the above quoted sum. With the Power of Attorney, I will arrange for the documentation at my expense which will enable transfer of the sum to you. You will be rewarded with 30% for your partnership, 5% has been mapped out for any expenses that might be incurred during the transaction while 15% will be spent on taxes in your country. I have decided to use my share of this transaction to relocate and invest on the Real Estate Venture. As soon as I get your willingness to comply, I will give you more details, sites for verification, your role, how legal and genuine this transaction is and as we progress you shall see all the legal documents.

Thank you so much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you soonest.

Yours truly,
Ustin Gavrie.

This is still Nigeria.. I also see these from Kenya and Ghana once in a while. The facts in letter are wrong to a point that a russian would know it, it least in the ones I've seen... they are just using famous people so it looks more believable.

Check for IP address of the sender.

I've almost got my spam filter trained to get 95% of these before they get to my inbox. Anytime its any huge amount in "USD" i just delete it anyway. Garbage mail is like the chief Nigerian export?
