Hello,

I am really sorry if this mail gets to you without any notice.
As a matter of urgency, I want you to advice me on
what investment opportunities you can assist me on.
It has become really difficult to get a reliable
investor to assist me because of the rate of scams
that I hear about.
First I will introduce myself, i am Mr. Binu Varghese , a geologist for
Amedeo International.

I am an Indian citizen and I have my passport for identification if
there is a need to confirm my identity.

I am a contract worker heading the accounts department
of the crude oil and drill section of the North coast
of Brunei, sultanate on the Gulf Island.

I will save your time by not amplifying my history.

The reason why I got your contact from an internet
directory was that during the controversial dispute
that erupted between Prince Williams Fayed Bolkiah and
his step brother,the sultan of Brunei Sheik Muda
Hassanal Bolkiah.

As you may know from the international media, the
sultan had accused Prince Williams Fayed Bolkiah of
financial mismanagement and impropriety of Billions of
dollars. This was as a result of the Asian financial
crisis that made Prince William Fayed Bolkiah's
company Amedeo Development Company and government owned
Brunei Investment Company to be declared bankrupt during his
tenure in office.

However Prince William Fayed Bolkiah is still kept
under house arrest, his bank accounts and private
properties including the crude oil export refinery
were I worked has been confisticated by the sultanate.

These are links to news paper

Furthermore, during this unfortunate period, I was
advised to evacuate the sultanate to avoid further
prosecution from the sultan and his security
operatives, but before I could do that I was placed
under house arrest by the Sultan and I have no access
to a phone but I have a Palm V 'hand-held' computer from
which I am sending you this mail.

Before Prince Williams Fayed Bolkiah's incarceration,
I went ahead to dispatch a sum in cash payment under
special arrangement in the custody of a Private
security and Trustee company safe in France.
I entrusted the deposit certificate to my solictor who
resides in Paris-France.
I am taking the risk of keeping this funds without his
knowledge or even my family and friends Hence I seek
your good assistance to collect the deposit and invest
these funds into profitable investments to facilitate my future
survival, for they do not intend to release me soon because of the
fact that I am the head of accounts and that I also work for the
prince.
I have decided to offer a reasonable percentage of
these funds to you as compensation for your cooperation.

Please I count on your absolute confidentiality,
transparency and trust while looking forward to your
prompt reply: biun_123@mail.com, binu_30@mail.com, biun123@mail.com towards
a swift conclusion.

I remain yours sincerely
Mr. Binu Varghese
