Subject: From Princess Fayad W. Bolkiah
Dear Friend,
I am contacting you for an urgent assistance to mobilise a business
transaction and further to have explicit investment information about your
country from you.
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 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$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 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,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-caseration, I went ahead to dispatch the sum of Fifteen Million
United States Dollars(US$15 Million) in cash under special arrangement into
the custody of Global Trust Finance UK for safe keeping,this action was on
the orders of my husband to me to enable us start a new life.
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.
You can go through this BBC site and see what the government of Brunei did
to my family:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/670959.stm

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's blessings remain with you,Amen.
I remain yours sincerely,
Princess Fayad W. Bolkiah.
