Dearest ,
I need an urgent assistance to mobilise a business transaction and to invest in your business.
I am Mrs. Fayad Wurukab Bolkiah, the wife 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 husband and his step brother, the sultan of Brunei Sheik Muda Hassanal
Bolkiah.
As you may know from the international media, the sultan had accused my husband of financial
mismanagement and impropriety of US$10.5 Billion dollars. This was as a result of the Asian financial
crisis that made my husband's company Amedeo Development Company and government owned Brunei
Investment Company to be declared bankrupt during his tenure in office.
However my husband is in jail now, his bank accounts and private properties including a crude oil export
refinery have been confiscated by the sultanate.
Furthermore, during this unfortunate period i was advised to evacuate my immediate family outside the
sultanate to avoid further prosecution from the sultan and his security operatives, but luck ran against me
on my attempt to escape. The Sultan now keeps me under house arrest 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 my In-castration, I went
ahead to dispatch the sum of Ten Million United States Dollars US$20 Million in cash under special
arrangement into the custody of different 2 Private security and Trustee companies for safe keeping
abroad. This action was on the orders of my husband to me to enable us start a new life. The money where
spitted and kept in the following countries in this proportion: US$5 Million is in Germany and the balance
of $15 Million is in Spain .
Hence I seek your good assistance to invest these funds 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.
Contact me back with the following email address: fayadwurukabbolkiah@yahoo.com
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.
Many Thanks & May Allah blessing remain with you,Amen.
I remain yours sincerely
Mrs.Fayad Wurukab Bolkiah
