Subject: STRICTLY MEANT FOR THE ADDRESSEE ONLY
We represent the interest 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 the royal family history, which has already been
disseminated by the international media during the controversial dispute
that erupted between our client and his stepbrother, the sultan of Brunei
sheik Muda Hassanal Bolkiah.
As you may know from the international media, the sultan had accused our
client of financial mismanagement and impropriety of US$ 14.8 Billion
dollars. This was as a result of the Asian financial crisis that made our
client’s company Amedeo Development and government owned Brunei Investment
Company to be declared bankrupt during his tenure in office.
However our client is in jail now, his bank accounts and private properties
including a crude oil export refinery have been confiscated by the
sultanate.
Within this period that he served as both the finance minister and chairman
of Brunei Investment Agency(B.I.A) , He dispatched the sum of Five Hundred
Million United States Dollars US$ 500 Million in cash under special
arrangement into the custody of different Private securities and Trustee
companies for safe keeping abroad. This amount was shared and kept in the
following countries:
SPAIN,MALAYSIA,SWITZERLAND,THAILAND,UNITED KINGDOM and the NETHERLAND.
We will not entrust the huge amount in the hand of an individual or an
entity,but we would rather work with you under a very special arrangement to
be guided with absolute trust,confidentiality and competence.The initial
amount to be invested is Eight Millions Five Hundred Thousand Dollars for a
start($8,500,000.00.)This is equivalent to 2.5% of the total sum available
for future investment.
Your profile has undoubtedly convinced us of your ability to work with us in
a diligent manner and together we can pull through this huge task .
We are counting on your absolute confidentiality, transparency and trust
while we look forward to your prompt reply towards a swift conclusion of
this business transaction.
Your immediate response is highly appreciated.
Yours truly,
WELCH RICHARD KLEIN.(Email:- welchklein@excite.it
