Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?From=20Prince=20Bolkiah?=
Hello,
I am contacting you for an Urgent Business Transaction and further explicit
investment information about your country.
I need you to read this e-mail message carefully because it is very imperative.
I am Prince Hammed W. Bolkiah, the eldest son of Prince Jefri Bolkiah who
was the former Finance Minister of Brunei, located in the northwest of the
island of Borneo.
Brunei Darussalam is a small country governed according to Islamic values
and traditions by His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Muizzaddin Waddaulah.
The countrys official name is Negara Brunei Darussalam ("abode of peace").
It is a member of APEC, ASEAN, BIMP-EAGA, and the Organisation of Islamic
States as well as the United Nations and the
Commonwealth.
I will save your time by not amplifying my extended Royal Family history
which has already been disseminated by the international media during the
controversial dispute that erupted between my father and his stepbrother,
the sultan of Brunei Sheik Muda Hassanal Bolkiah.
As you may know from the international media, the sultan had accused my
father of financial mismanagement and impropriety of US$14.8 Billion.
This was as a result of the Asian financial crisis that made my father company
Amedeo Development Company and government owned Brunei Investment Agency
to be declared bankrupt during his tenure in office.
Prince Jefri was relieved of his post as Finance Minister of Brunei and
was stripped of his chairmanship post as head of the nation's
international investment arm, the Brunei Investment Agency in February 1998.
The Agency con trols 13 companies & Brunei's overseas assets.
In July 1998 the Sultan barred trading by Amedeo when the world's biggest
corporate debt of US$14 Billion came to light.
In September the 1998, the Sultan ordered an investigation of the BIA by
accountants KPMG after the Brunei government alleged that "large sums of
money" had been misappropriated to companies controlled by Prince Jefri.
The Sultan then asked the Bank of England to help track down an alleged
L28 Billion of state and family funds said to be "missing".
On the 02/10/1998 Prince Jefri Bolkiah flew from London in a private jet
and was going to settle matters directly with Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.
Prince Jefri drove straight to his seaside palace at Jerudong, about 10
miles south of the capital, Bandar Seri Begawan. He was du e to meet with
officials of the Amedeo Development Corporation and visit the sultan.
Relations between the Royals appeared to deteriorate quickly. However, my
father was kept under house arrest, his bank accounts and private properties
including a crude oil export refinery & the sultan also strip my father
of control over three large oil wells which were later confiscated by the
sultanate.
Furthermore, during this unfortunate period i was advised to evacuate my
immediate family outside the sultanate to avoid further prosecution from
the sultan and his security operatives, but before I could do that I was
placed under house arrest by the Sultan.
I have a Palm V hand-held computer from which I am sending you this mail.
Before my arrest, I went ahead to dispatch the sum of US$500 Million in
cash under special arrangement into the custody of different
Private security and Trustee companies for safe keeping abroad.
The money where splitted and kept in the following countries in this proportion:
US$50 Million is in England, US$100 Million is in Spain, US$100 Million
is in Saudi Arabia, US$80 Million is in United Arab
Emirate and the balance US$170 Million is in Malaysia.
I am unable to reach my friends & associates whom would have provided all
the much needed moral and financial assistance i require because my diary
have being siezed by my uncle Sheik Muda Hassanal Bolkiah
who is also the Sultan of Brunei.
Hence, I seek your good assistance to receive and invest these funds into
profitable investment in your country to facilitate future survival for
my family abroad. I will compensate adequately for your strong cooperation.
I am counting on your absolute confidentiality and transparency while looking
forward to your prompt reply towards a swift conclusion of this business
transaction.
May Allah's blessing remain with you & guide on the straight path, Amin.
Wassalam & Best regards,
Prince Hammed .W. Bolkiah
Brunei Darussalam.
