This came into my Inbox today (complete with spelling errors). It's just one of many similar sob stories circulating Inboxes around the world. How dumb do these people think we are?

Dear Partner,

I am writing you this mail which I know will get to you as a surprise, but hope you would understand since I am in a desperate situation. I know the internet in general is not a safe place considering what is happening around the world today; however, l had no other choice other than to contact you in this manner of approach.

My name is Dr. Mirko Novak (77 Years), i am the financial adviser to the former personal chief financial treasurer to Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky the Richest man in Russia and owner of the following companies: Chairman CEO:YUKOS OIL (Russian Largest Oil Company) Chairman CEO: Menatep SBP Bank (A well reputable financial institution with it´s branches all over the world).

Before Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky was arrested by the Russian authorities over politics by 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 threat to President Vladimir Puting Second Tenure as Russian president, there was a huge sum of money that was given to me and my entire family which we seek your partnership in accommodating for us.

You will be rewarded with twenty percent of the total sum for your partnership. Can you be our partner on this? Already the funds have left the shore of Russia through diplomatic means to a South African holding firm where the final crediting is expected to be carried out.

All we need from you is to stand as the beneficiary of the total sum and once your acceptance is received, the funds will be re-profiled to your name to enable the holding firm release the funds to you as the present beneficiary.

Please note that all legal documents backing the claims of these funds will be provided once your interest is shown. The transaction has to be concluded within 5 to 10 working days as soon as I confirm your readiness to conclude the transaction with me.

Contact me on time so that I can furnish you with more details.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Dr. Mirko Novak

Right... I'll get right on that.
