Attention:,

I am a senior colleague to Petrov Fedolov who contact you earlier regarding this project and I am representing Mr. Vladimir Potanin (VP) and would like to require your partnership in transferring 52.2 million euro from our portfolio. Attached is my company identity card and my international passport you requested, I will also advice you to forward your drivers licenes or your photocopy of your international passport for identification.

I am in constant touch with (VP) in Moscow and I have his approval to proceed with you. We will try to confirm your honesty and ability to handle this project professionally. Please, be assured that this is a legitimate business deal but we need be very discreet in our activities because of political tensions in Russia. Before I am able to give out the information that will enable you access confidential data-pages of the Interros investment group portfolio in our offshore bank, I would need some information as follows:

(1) Are you familiar with online banking operations?
(2) Do you have any legal or political problems?
(3) Have you handled large funds, and how successfully?
(4) Your home or office address?
(5) Tell/fax numbers?
(6) Your private email address?
(7) Your name?
(8) Your age?

All the answers will be kept very confidential. I must explain why we are asking these questions: If you do have existing profile problems, we may end up inheriting your backlog thus creating a problem where none exist. We intend to liquidate a large investment, and take the capital appreciation derivatives from the existing portfolio to provide a new investment fund, under your management for our future foreign investments, thus negating any requirements for declaration of process for income generation. However, if you do have issues prior to this, it puts anything you do in the light, and thus puts us in uncomfortable situation. As you see, our assets are under serious scrutiny in Switzerland, Russia and Britain and while we have excess of 1.2 billion euro, we are unable to liquidate them.

It is obvious that the tyranny government situation in Russia will not improve, and we are expecting the tax authorities in Moscow to descend on our boss investments like they did to Yukos and Mikhail Khordokovsky, TNK and BP demanding for bogus taxes as an excuse to sell off part of our company/subsidiaries to their cronies... We do not have to wait until we are in their webbed trap, hence we decided to act now with your
anticipated assistance

The funds being liquidated is the capital appreciation derivatives which arise from independent Investments of the Interros group. It is a legitimate operation but we want it done quietly through a non-traditional source like you. If the authorities hear about this, we shall have to tender it for hearing in Russian judicial systems, and that will be an unwelcomed exposure at this time for us. Hence answer the questions in honesty, and let us know if we are comfortable with you. We are trying to ensure that you do not put us in any trouble, and likewise we do not do same to you. We shall provide you with an input as an entity with no history to the investment, only as a management consultant. Everybody must be safe now and in the future, hence the questions. We need to move funds from this portfolio and we can not get the funds out on our own without arousing Moscow authorities. To avoid this we need to completely re-profile the funds from the portfolio in your name so as to turn away Moscow and their ally from us. The complete amount available for you for re-profiling is presently about 52.2 million euros and the 8% we promised to pay you still stands.

You as the management consultant will need to communicate with our private bankers in Estonia to arrange for the formal liquidation of the capital appreciation derivatives from the known and existing portfolio under authority as the management consultant to Interros Group. You can move the funds by wire transfers through a dedicated confidential bank access channels that the bank will provide you. I will let you access the investment portfolio online (bank account access) if you indicate that you can be trusted enough to keep the information to yourself. There will be a non disclosure confidentiality agreement between you and me if all works well and we have a perfect agreement signed and sealed, then I will require you to move the funds to a numbered account we will provide you in Cayman Island, Bahamas and USA and you keep the 8% of the capital funds as agreed in any bank of your choice in your country or elsewhere. Please write back promptly. Call me on my telephone number below for further clarification.

I await for your urgent response.
Regards,
Andrei Razdukhov.
