Asallamualaikum to you !
May the peace and blessings of Allah be with you as you make a decision
towards helping my family from this unjust agony and endless trial's
with matter's i know nothing about.
Please do not be surprised to receive my email. Though we might not
have a personal relationship or have met each other, we could work
together on this project I am about to introduce to you. First I would like to
introduce myself. My name Mrs.Aminatu Bolkiah wife to
ex-finance minister of brunei , currently under house arrest for
conspiracy of tax inflation receipts/revenue allocated funds for small scale
businesses which also led to the death of my husband in 2003.
Being his first wife, I was his closest confidant. he shared with me
virtually everything including info. for all the businesses, so i had no
reason to let go what we had worked for all these years, I am also
aware due to our cordial relationship that he deposited some family
valuables with a UK based company, he told me about it and asked me to prepare
a codicil to reflect the claim for investment.However before this could
be completed, he died in 2004.
After his death in 2004, I went into action to establish the
information passed unto me by my husband and my findings agreed with the
information. At that point, I knew I had to do something to move the funds out
of the finance company where it was deposited. Bearing at the back of
my mind that I cannot do this alone, I have decided to contact you and
seek your assistance and acceptance to be the next of kin to the funds
for claim.
Aside my humble self, is the UK based finance company affilates to
South African Embassy where our valuables was deposited.
If willing , I shall introduce some details and documents that will
enable you have clear picture of your task and obligations, with
referrence to my PROPOSED INVESTMENT which i plead with you to handle with
deligence and care.

better understanding of the magnitude and ernomity of this matter :
