Dear Friend,
I
am Alexei Yavuz, a Personal Assistant to Mikhail Khodorkovsky. I have a
profiling sum in an excess of $25M which I seek your partnership
in accommodating for me. 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.
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. The transaction has to be concluded within a
week.
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 progresses you shall see all the
legal documents.
Thank you so much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you soonest.
Yours truly,
Mr. Alexei Yavuz.

It's important to note that
any real people and / or legitimate
organizations whose actual names or other details appear in
these scam e-mails have absolutely no
connection
with this scam!
Scammers never use their real
names.
They frequently take on the identity of real people to help make themselves and their scam appear legitimate.

This is just a small sampling of the
many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at
419BAITER
headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!
There are many different types of 419 scam (examples)
but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary /
commision,
low-interest loan, lottery prize,
bargain gold dust / diamonds,
work visa, etc.) in return
for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no
fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get
you to
willingly send them money.

section.
NOTE TO
DUMBASS SPAMMERS:
My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good
but it isn't perfect.
Occasionally a regular spam e-mail will get mistakenly published here
as
a
419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish
to have your crap mistakenly published on this website as a
419
advance fee
scam, the solution is
simple. Don't mail your crap to harvested e-mail
addresses.
