What’s even more interesting is that I first got an “I am Khodor’s secretary” spam/scam letter a few weeks after the magnate’s arrest. Lioudmila Kimaeva sounds plausible — Russian passports used a French-style transliteration system until recently — so let’s give credit to our nameless Nigerian friends.
Compare this lively passage from a letter I received in 2003 from a “South African:”
“On the assumption of my present office, I discovered a dormant account owned by one Mr Spiff Kolov, a Russian immigrant. Coincidentally, Spiff was an intelligence adviser to the INCATA movement. He also served as a conduit for the movement of funds to the organisation from various bodies that are sympathetic to the plight of INCATA. He lost his life and that of his family in the hands of ANC stalwarts at the ending days of the apartheid regime.”

I got this email today. I usually just delete them and mark them as spam. I replied to another one and said “I want it all or you can go to hell,” and I got another email with photos of a teenage girl ‘from Paris’ attached to it. I send it along if I still have it.
