As you may know from the international media above, the sultan had accused myself and my father of financial mismanagement and impropriety running into Billion of dollars of state funds. The economic set back in Brunei was as a result of the Asian financial crisis that made my our firm Amedeo Development Company (i was Managing Director) and government owned Brunei Investment Company (controlled by my father) to be declared bankrupt during my fathers tenure in office. However my father was falsely accused by the Sultan of financial misappropriation and a court ordered the seizure of all our bank accounts and private properties including a crude oil export refinery which where all confiscated by the sultanate. In May 2006, my father lost an appeal to retain our properties, assets and Bank accounts which the security operatives wants forfeited to the government.
During this unfortunate period I was still serving as Managing Director of my fathers own firm, Amedeo Development Company. 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 via a Court Order of which i was named co-defendant.
Before my arrest, I went ahead to dispatch the sum of US$1 Billion under special arrangement into the custody of different Deposit and Trustee company's for safe keeping abroad. The money where deposited in various Bonded Warehouse in the following countries and in the proportion: US$ 50 Million is in England, US$100 Million is in Spain, US$100 Million is in Saudi Arabia, US$80 Million is in United Arab Emirate, and the balance US$US170 Million is in Malaysia and the balance US$500 Million are in various offshore bank accounts
Hence, I seek your good assistance to invest these funds deposited in various Bonded Warehouse into profitable investment in your country to facilitate future survival for my family abroad. My trusted aid and guard is still loyal to me, he would be my contact if there is any document I need to send to you which would enable you collect the boxes of money on my behalf.
The purpose of my contacting you is because you live in a country with a stable economy where one can invest. On receipt of your response after which we shall discuss in details the modalities for seeing this project through. If however, you are not disposed to assist, kindly forward to a reliable associate or relative whom you deem fit to rescue this project from total loss if the location of the funds are discovered by security operatives. I am counting on your absolute confidentiality, transparency, honesty and trust while looking forward to your prompt reply towards a swift conclusion of this proect.
