for your unreserved assistance in consummating an urgent
transaction requiring maximum confidence. Though this approach
appears desperate, I can assure you that whatever questions you
would need to ask or any other thing you will need to know

clearer understanding of it, so as to arrive at a successful
conclusion.

brother of the late and last Sultan,HM Sultan Mahakuttah Abdulla

just recently been informed by my late father's banking officer
that the old man operated a secret account with the bank into

now been advised by the Finance House to seek in confidence a foreign
account into which this fund could be transferred for safe keeping
to avoid a leak from relations.

an account for this purpose and any other assistance you give in
that regard, 5% has been slated for reimbursement of all local
and international expenses which may be incurred in the transfer
process, and 5% has been conceded for the diplomat assisting and
facilitating the transfer, finally 60% will come to me and family and
a good part of this shall be directed towards executing his will,
which is to buy shares and stock in foreign countries and to
secure his children's future to facilitate the conclusion of this
transaction, if accepted, do send to me promptly by email
1. Your Name and Address.
