Subject: THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
Hello Sir,
Date: September 29, 2006.
Assalamu Alaikkum,
I am contacting you for an Urgent Business Transaction and further explicit
investment information about your country. I need you to read this email
message carefully because it is very imperative. I am Prince Fayad 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 Hajji Hassanal Bolkiah Muizzaddin
Waddaulah.
The country’s official name is Negara Brunei Darussalam ("abode of peace").
It is a member of APEC, ASEAN, BIMP-EAGA, and the Organization 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 controls 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 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 £28 Billion of state and family funds said to be
"missing". On the November 2, 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 due 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 confiscated & 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 the Sultan placed me under house arrest. 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.
My attorney is presently based in UK where he resides with his family. He is
fully briefed about proposal to you and he will be answerable to all
telephone correspondence with you. I shall send to you his private telephone
number as soon as you indicate your interest to help me in this project.
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 seized 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 you 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, Amen.
Wassalam & Best regards,
Prince Fayad .W. Bolkiah.
