To Be Frank …

For some reason this one got past my spam filters … but the name of the ‘contact’ made me read it !

Dear Friend,

I am Derek Davis 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$450 million. I will give you the details, but in summary, the funds are coming via Bank Menatep. This is a legitimate transaction. You will be paid 4% for your “Management Fees”.

Write back by email 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.

Write me back as soon as you get this mail. I look forward to it.

Regards,
Derek Davis

It’s been a while, and people have been promised updates etc …
We sold the house last week – a little less than we’d hoped for, but enough to make the numbers work. So it’s all in the hands of the solicitors now.

Michael’s had a nasty cold for the last few days, I know it’s nasty, because he gave it to me too !
