In this new twist on an old fraud, a spam claiming to be from an assistant to Russian oil magnate Mikhail Khodorkovsky is looking for someone to help stash away a few million dollars. Here's a sample email:

Dear friend,

partnership in accommodating for me. You will be rewarded with 40% of
the total sum for your partnership. Can you be my partner on this?

INTRODUCTION OF MY SELF:
I am Ms.KIMAEVA LIOUDMILA, a personal secretary 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 well reputable financial institution
with its branches all over the world)

SOURCE OF FUNDS:
The documents of the above funds in question was handed over to me to
be used in payment of an American oil merchant for his last oil deal with
my boss Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Already the funds have been deposited with
HBOS TRESURY SERVICES PLC UK ,where the final crediting is expected to be
carried out. While I was on the process, My Boss got arrested for his
involvement on politics in financing the leading and opposing political
parties (the Union of Right Forces, led by Boris Nemtsov, and Yabloko, a
liberal/social
democratic party led by Gregor Yavlinsky) which poses treat to
President Vladimir Putin second tenure as Russian president. You can catch
more
of the story on this http://newsfromrussia.com/main/2003/11/13/51215.html

YOUR ROLE:
All I need from you is to stand as the beneficiary of the above quoted
sum and I will arrange for the documentation which will enable HBOS TRESURY
SERVICES PLC UK transfer the sum to you. I have decided to use this sum
to relocate to American continent and never to be connected to any of
Mikhail Khodorkovsky conglomerates. The transaction has to be concluded in 2
weeks before Mikhail Khodorkovsky is out on bail.

As soon as I get your willingness to complythrough my most private email
address [[email protected]] I will give you more details.

Thank you very much
