Ah HA! Now you have me thinking you're in Houston.

I get one of these every month or two. The last one wanted to split the money 60/40, but I think I'll insist on 50/50.

Even got a Russian one not too long ago... (although the Nigerians are the only ones who know my name and spam my work account -- very resourceful, I'll give them that)...

Dear Friend,

I am Lagutin Yuriy 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 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".

If you are interested, please 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. I look forward to it.

Regards,
Lagutin Yuriy.

I really dont understand what is the benefit for them??

wHAT DO THEY EXPECT??

They expect, and they gain often from, the human emotion of GREED!!!

Powerful it is, as Yoda would say

I've seen countless Newspaper/Web articles of suckers who cash out their retirement money/life savings etc... because they think there on their way to an easy multi-million dollar payday.
