Dear Friend,

Good day to you, I am representing a major company CEO in Russia. He has given me a very sensitive and private brief to ask for your partnership to re-profile legitimately accrued funds well over fifty million euros for a pipeline/transportation development project in the US.

I will give the details, but in summary, the funds are coming via a bank in western europe, and this is a very legitimate request. You will be paid 8% for your management fees",if I am able to reach agreeable terms with you.

If this would interest you, please write me back by email and provide me with your telephone number, and private email address and I will provide further details. I wish for you to have this request as private as much as possible; we can not afford any political problems in our country.

Write me back only at my secured email; alexander.torchilin@rambler.ru for an early response.

Thank you very much i look forward to it.

Alexander Torchilin.

Mr. Torchilin,

What part of Russia are you from? I live in Alaska and might be able to see you from my house. I have never been to your country, but have wanted to go ever since I saw Yakov Smirnoff say, "In the United States, you can always find a party. In Soviet Russia, the Party finds you! " Now that sounds like a fun place to live! However, my wife and I raise champion sled dogs for the Iditarod, which is a full-time job and leaves little room for vacations. It's hard work, but I couldn't imagine my life without those bitches.

In Alaska we get money from the oil companies, because our Governor allowed them to penetrate their dirty pipeline deep within our beautiful territory. So before I get involved with you, I want to know where you would like to lay your dirty pipe.

I know they do things differently over there. Like Yakov said, "Homosexuality in Russia is a crime and the punishment is seven years in prison, locked up with other men. There is a three year waiting list." Here in America, we treat homosexuality the same as bestiality. And what a man, a woman, a Costco-sized jar of Peter Pan peanut butter, and 20 sled dogs does is there own private business and should have nothing to do with waiting lists or prisons.

Unfortunately, our telephone hasn't worked since Mr. Fluffles chewed through the wire and was electrocuted. We have tried to contact the phone company, but live 45 minutes from the nearest town, and our carrier pigeons keep freezing. So in the meantime, you should feel free to contact me at this address.

Hopefully Jesus will freeze the Bering Strait again, and me and my dogs can come and see you.

What a country,
