Subject: investment trustee
Dear Friend
I am contacting you for an urgent business transaction and further explicit investment information about your country,due to the first hand information i have gathered of you.
I am Princess Balkis,the heiress of Prince Fayad .W.Bolkiah, the eldest son of Prince Jefri Bolkiah,former Finance Minister of Brunei, the tiny oil-rich sultanate on the Gulf Island.
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 fatherin-law 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 in -law of financial mismanagement and impropriety of US$14.8 Billion dollars. This was as a result of the Asian financial crisis that made my fatherin-law's company Amedeo Development Company and
government owned Brunei Investment Company to be declared bankrupt during his tenure in office.
However my father in_law was kept under house arrest, his bank accounts and private properties including a crude oil export refinery were later confiscated by the sultanate.He later died.
Furthermore, during this unfortunate period my husband was advised to evacuate his immediate family outside the sultanate to avoid
further prosecution from the sultan and his security operatives, but before he could do that he was placed under house arrest by the Sultan and
have no access to a phone but a Palm V hand-held computer from which he is contacting me.
Before His In-castration, he went ahead to dispatch the sum of Twenty five Million United States Dollars US$25 Million in cash under
special arrangement into the custody of a Private security and Trustee company for safe keeping abroad.
Hence I seek your good assistance to visit this private security company,claim this fund and invest these fund into profitable investment in your country to facilitate future survival
for my family abroad.I have decided to offer 20% of these funds to you as compensation for your strong cooperation.
Please I count on your absolute confidentiality,
transparency and trust while looking forward to your prompt reply towards a swift conclusion of this business transaction.Reply to,
princefayad2@arabia.com,bolkiah2@oicexchange.com
Remain yours sincerely
Princess Balkis Fayad .W. Bolkiah
Brunei Darussalam.Dear Friend
