Mr. Lee,

A good day indeed! A very good year for me already is this! You
must already know this since you found my name in your most excellant
computer, but I am a recent emmigrant to The United States of
America. Me, I came here from the former Soviet Republic of
Urbekatajkiministan just this year. I bought a small piece of land
in Texas and what luck! I discover petroleum on my land first week,
while out with rife hunting for some food! Now nothing I have to do!
Exxon pump out oil and send me checks! I am a truely Texas
millionare!

While I do not recall ever meeting my great and venerated uncle Kamal
Yasser, with the most excellent and good quality of my luck I am
surprised not any that he left me all this money. But think I that
you have the split of the funds "ass backwards" as they so much say
here in Texas. I believe my split is percent 65 and your split is
percent 35, no?

May the Lords of Urbekatajkiministan and Cobol bless you and yours,

Mr. Yura DuMas
