Subject: Urgent Attn/
Attn: Sir
I am Prince Fayad W. Bolkiah, the eldest son 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 father 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 father of financial mis-management and impropriety of US$19.8 Billion dollars. This was as a result of the Asian financial crisis that made my father oil Company and government owned Brunei Investment Company to be declared bankrupt during his tenure in office. However my father 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 my immediate family outside the sultanate to avoid further prosecution from the sultan and his security operatives, but before I could do that I was placed under house arrest by the Sultan and I have no access to phone but only Palm V hand-held computer from where am sending you this mail which will of course be to the mutual benefit of both parties.
Before my Incaceration, I went ahead to dispatch the sum of Fifty-one Million two hundred thousand United States Dollars (US$51.2 Million) in cash under special arrangement into the custody of different Private security and Trustee companies for safe keeping abroad.The money where splitted and kept in the following proportion: US$25 Million is in Europe, while the remaining 26.2 million is in Asia.
Hence I seek your good assistance to invest these funds into profitable investment in your country to facilitate future investment and general survival of my family abroad.I have decided to offer 40% of these total funds to you as compensation for your strong and humble co-operation.
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. Mr Richmond Cook Richard is my financial adviser, please contact him for more details

Fayad .W. Bolkiah
