Dear Partner

of Russia’s oligarchs, I was convicted for fraud and tax evasion and
received a 9-year sentence, and I want you to assist me in investing
some amount of money that I secretly kept in a financial company, the
total amount is (? 512,700,000.00.)

Presently I am in a jail, as you know this amount is a huge sum of
money and I will like you to be honest enough in investing my share for
me. The total sum will be divided as 70% for me and 30% for you. I will
like you to invest the 70% share of my money in your country pending
the year of my realeased, if you are interested kindly indicate by
replying my mail. I will disclose to you where my money is kept as soon
as I received a favorable response from you. below is my e-mail address

I have similar sum of money and will give you 80 percent if you invest my 20% in deer corn and peanut butter. I am breeding super mutant deer here in prison from spoons of plastic and rectally smuggled cigarettes and wish to placate them in case of super mutant deer uprising.
