Thanks for your reply and assistance!!!
Attn: Director / C.e.o,
I am contacting you for an urgent assistance to mobilize a business
transaction and further to have explicit investment information about your
country from you. I got your information from my incarcerated husband's
file.
I am Princess Fayad W. 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 stepbrother,
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$14.8 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 bank-rupt 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. I am now kept 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 my In-castration, I went ahead to dispatch the sum
of US$20,500,000,00 (Twenty Million Five Houndred Thausand United States Dollars) in cash
under special arrangement into the custody of different Private security
and Trustee Company for safe keeping abroad. This action was on the orders
of my husband to me to enable us start a new life. The money was insured
and deposited in the custody of the security firm in ERUOPE.
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.
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. If you write back, I will then give you the
details of whom to meet in ERUOPE, for the completion of
the transaction in confidence.
Many Thanks & May Allah blessing remain with you.
I remain yours sincerely
Princess Fayad .W. Bolkiah.
Note: please for the confidentiality of this transaction kindly send in your reply
