FROM: PRINCE FAYAD H. BOLKIAH
ROYAL HOUSE, JERUDONG
BRUNEI DARUSSALAM.
EMAIL: fayadlele@yahoo.co.uk
Dear Partner,
A Good day to you and your family.
Excuse my communication through email, on an issue as important as this one.We shall definitely
open up a more confidential form of communication as soon as I receive a response from you.
I am contacting you for an Urgent Business Transaction and further explicit investment assistance
in your country. Based on the information and recommendation satisfactorily gathered concerning
your person, I hereby need you to read this email message carefully because it is very
imperative.
PRINCE HAKEEM F. BOLKIAH is my name, the eldest son of PRINCE JEFRI BOLKIAH who was the former
Finance Minister of Brunei. Brunei Darussalam is a small country located in the northwest of the
island of Borneo and governed by His Majesty SHEIK HAJI HASSANAL BOLKIAH MU'IZZADDIN WADDAULAH.
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
father and his stepbrother, the sultan of Brunei His Majesty SHEIK HAJI HASSANAL
BOLKIAH MU'IZZADDIN WADDAULAH.
Though, I have been reliably informed that some people send raudulent letters to unsuspecting
individuals overseas making bogus claims. Please be informed that this is not such letters as my
claims are verifiable. You can visit the websites below for a better understanding of the
situation:-http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/670959.stm
http://www.asiaweek.com/asiaweek/magazine/2000/0310/nat.brunei.jefri.html
As you may know from the international media, the Sultan had accused my
father of financial mismanagement and impropriety of USD14.8 Billion. This was as a result of the
Asian financial crisis which made my father company Amedeodevelopment Corporation(ADC) and
government owned Brunei Investment Agency(BIA) to be declared bankrupt during his tenure in
office.
PRINCE JEFRI BOLKIAH was relieved of his post as Finance Minister of Brunei and was stripped of
his chairmanship post as head of the nation's international investment arm, the Brunei Investment
Agency in February 1998. The Agency controls 13 companies & Brunei's overseas assets.
In July 1998, His Majesty SHEIK HAJI HASSANAL BOLKIAH MU'IZZADDIN WADDAULAH barred trading by
Amedeo Development Corporation when the world's biggest corporate debt of USD14.8 Billion came to
light. In September 1998, the Sultan ordered an investigation of the BIA by accountants KPMG
after the Brunei government alleged that"large sums of money" had been misappropriated to
companies controlled by PRINCE JEFRI BOLKIAH. The Sultan then asked the Bank of England to help
track down an alleged 28 Billion British Pounds of state and family funds said to be "missing".
On the 02/10/1998 PRINCE JEFRI BOLKIAH flew from London in a private jet and was going to settle
matters directly with His Majesty SHEIK HAJI HASSANAL BOLKIAH MU'IZZADDIN WADDAULAH. PRINCE JEFRI
drove straight to his seaside palace at Jerudong, about 10 miles south of the capital, Bandar
Seri Begawan as he was due to meet with officials of the Amedeo Development Corporation and visit
the sultan. After series of meetings relations between the Royals appeared to deteriorate
quickly.
However,my father was arrested, his Bank Accounts and private properties including a crude oil
export refinery & three large oil block which were later confiscated by the sultanate. 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. Before I could do that I
was placed under house arrest by His Majesty.
Before my arrest, I went ahead to dispatch the sum of USD$100 Million in cash under special
arrangement into the custody of different Offshore Banks and Private security and Trustee
companies for safe keeping in abroad. For security reasons wouldn't mention the name of the
country until I hear from you. In view of my condition here and the high interest rate the
Security/Finance company charges, the money could not be safe there. I would therefore seek your
good will and assistance to receive this fund into your nominated bank account for safe keeping.
Once the money is safeguarded in your account, I would require your directives to enable me
invest these funds into a profitable business investment in your country to facilitate future
survival for me and my family abroad.
Note that, you will be accorded with 30% of the total sum you received on your account for your
assistance. If you accept this offer of assistance you are requested to contact me back. As soon
as I receive your acceptance notice, I will immediately instruct my family attorney to follow
up. I am counting on your absolute transparency, honesty and confidentiality which this
transaction deserved. You are requested to indicate your telephone and fax numbers to me for
easier communication. While thanking you for your anticipated co-operation, looking forward to
your prompt reply. If you accept this offer of assistance you are requested to contact me back.
Best Regards,
Wassalam
PrinceFayad H. Bolkiah
