Asallam alaiykum,
I greeting in the name for Allah the god for peace am from Brunei am looking for business and further explicit investment information about assistance since the incarceration of my family and our departure from Borneo-Brunei palace due to severe human rights abuses occurring in my country.

You may know from the media that the sultan accused my children father of financial mismanagement and impropriety of $45 million dollars. This was as a result of the Asian financial crisis that made the familys company Argedis Buried and government owned Brunei investment company to be declared bankrupt during his tenure as a member of the Asian exchange committee .How ever prince jefri bolkiah was kept under house arrest, his bank accounts and private properties including a crude oil export refinery were later confiscated by the sultanate.
Furthermore during this unfortunate period, I was advised to evacuate one for my residence in United Arab Emirates were I can take refugee in order to avoid further prosecution from the sultan and his security operatives who was looking for me, but before I could do that I was arrested placed under house arrest by the sultan and no access to go out but just a Pentium 1 computer from which I am sending you this mail. Some of the guards here are still loyal to me. Before my arrest, I deposited this (Funds) under special arrangements with a private security Companies in different countries out side Brunei for safe keeping until my problems are over. The money were splitted and deposited in boxes as family valueables. Therefore, I seek your good assistance in clamming and investing my funds in a profitable venture so as to facilitate future survival for my children who are with me now .
Wa-sallam,
Princess A Bolkiah
