From Mrs Asiyah Ahmed Hassanal Bolkiah
Royal Family of King Haji Omar Ali Sadul Khairi
of Brunei Darussalam.
GOOD DAY,My Dear,
Please read very carefully, It is with tears that I am writing this message
to you from a hospital bed far away from my home where I have no
mother,father, sister , brother or any relative, in the mist of strangers
with a diffrent language that I don't understand, imaging how painful it is
being a cancer patient, Firstly let me introduce myself to you.
I am Mrs. Asiyah Ahmed Hassanal Bolkiah, I am 45years old and I have a son
of 13years of age who is at the moment in Benin Republic and I am suffering
from cancer of the lungs which I will soon undergo the operation, I want to
also let you know that I am writing you this mail from a private hospital
here where I am taking my part-time treatments, what will you do if your
doctor come up and tell you that you have only few weeks to live? you can
imagine the kind of pains I am going through.
My husband is the first Son to the last wife of King Haji Omar Ali
Saifuddien Sadul Khairi Waddien, the former Prime minister of Brunei
Darussalam, the tiny oil-rich country on the Island in South-Eastern
Asia,let me 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 Husband and his
step-brother, the sultan of Brunei H.M.Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah who is
the present King/prime minister of Brunei.
As you may know from the international media, the sultan of Brunei accused
my husband who is his step-brother for financial mismanagement and
impropriety of US$14.8 billion dollars and this was as a result of the Asian
Financial crisis that made my husband's company Amedeo Development Company
that was inherited by my husband and government owned Brunei investment
company to be declared bankrupt during his tenure in the office.
However my my husband was kept under house arrest by his own step brother,
our bank accounts and private properties including a crude oil export
refinery were later confiscated by the sultan and to worsen the whole thing,
he has to assassinate my beloved husband and I was placed under house arrest
by the sultan so that I will not tell the international community what has
happened and that is where I developed this cancer of the lungs which is
killing me now but I still believe that it is the will of God that life
treat me this way.To avoid further prosecution and sufferings from the
sultan and his security operatives since I have lost my husband and I have
my only child to keep me happy, I decided to leave my country Brunei to
Benin Republic in West Africa where my husband has deposited the sum of (
US$15 Million Dollars) in a reputable bank but unfortunately for me this my
illness has became worst and I have been placed at the hospital for medical
attention here, so I am planing to fly to abroad for good medication and a
perfect surgical operation because according to what my doctor told me that
I may not live for more than a month without this operation,I am so scared
about this because she has made me understand that I have only 20% chance to
survive this surgery and for that reason, I want to make a future for my
only son before undergoing this surgery so that even if I die on the process
of this surgery, my sonwill be taken care of by you.
The reason why I am contacting you is to know if you can arrange for a
better hospital over there so that I can come there for a better surgery and
aslo to know if you can take care of my son when I will been undergoing this
surgery, I have decided to give you this sum of (US$ 15 Milion) that I
inherited from my late husband so that you can invest it in a very lucrative
business in your country, we never can tell what will happen during the
surgery, so that in case if anything happen to me during this operation, my
son will have someone to take care of him and a business/funds to inherit
for a good future or if this surgery gos well, I will have a business that I
can use to take care of my only son.
Please note that this fund is lying with a reputable Bank here in Benin
Republic of West Africa and as I am writing this message to you from a
hospital Bed, I am not sure that I will survive this operation but even if I
have to die, first I want to secure a future formy only son.You may ask
yourself why am I saying all this but I believe you never experience this
kind of problem either have you meet anyone in this kind of situation,have
you ever use a lap-top in the hospital to write a letter to a stranger for
help? from a foreign land where you have no father, mother or anyone who can
help you? In the mist of people that speak entirely different language? when
all the people you trust become the people after your life? well, you may
not understand but I want you to take this more serious and urgently
important.
All I WANT FROM YOU IS TO TAKE THE MONEY WITH MY SON AND INVEST IT SO THAT
YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF MY SON IF I DID NOT SURVIVE THIS. please get back to me
very fast so that I can tell you what to do because my days now is being
numberred. May the peace of God be with you
Yours,
From Mrs Asiyah Ahmed Hassanal Bolkiah.
