Opportunity knocks
I was recently contacted with a couple of great business opportunities. Both ask little of me but promise many happy returns. Too good to be true? You be the judge.
The first opportunity came from a toothless woman who promised me $1000.00 the next morning if I gave her $6 for a commuter rail ticket right then. The skeptic in me said no, but the hijinks loving side of me gave it a thought. What if she actually did meet me the next morning? Surely there'd be no cash, but what a story I might possibly hear. I vaguely entertained the idea until she started doing the smack twitch thing and I almost got run over by a car while slowing backing away from her, trying to reclaim some personal space.
The second business opportunity has come to me from a reputable and wealthy woman trying to flee Russia. It came to my work email because I am known internationally to be quite a businesswoman, apparently. I thought I'd share it with you:
Dear Friend,
My name is Mrs. Larisa Nitskaya, personal secretary to Mr. Boris Mikhail
Khodorkovsky, the arrested Chairman/CEO of
Yukos Oil and Bank Menatep SPB in Russia. I have the documents of a large
amount of funds which he handed over to me
before he was detained and now been tried in Russia for financing political
parties (the union of right forces, led by
Boris Nemtsov and yabloko, a liberal/social democratic party led by gregor
yavlinsky) opposed to the government of Mr. Vladmir
Putin, the president thereby leading to the freezing of his finances and
assets.
After searching through the books of your country's chambers of commerce
and industries here in Russia I am contacting you
to assist me to re-profile the funds and equally invest same on his behalf.
The total amount of funds to be re-profiled is
forty six million dollars (usd$46,000,000.00) and you will be paid 10% for
your management services. As soon as I receive
your acceptance, I will send you the necessary details and my
identification.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Larisa Nitskaya.
So, clearly, I can't turn down this great opportunity- $4.6 million just to help re-profile this lady's money. I don't see what could possibly go wrong.....
