Subject: YOUR CONTRACT PAYMENT/ATM CARD
Dear Friend.
Based on the further explicit investment information about your
country from
my research I wish to invest in your country under your supervision.
I am
Prince Fayed W. Bolkiah, the eldest son of Prince Jeffrey Bolkiah
former
Finance Minister of Brunei , the tiny oil-rich sultanate on the Gulf
Island of
Borneo. I 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 Sheik Muda Hassanal Bolkiah.
As you may know from the international media, the sultan had accused
my father
of financial mismanagement and impropriety of US$14.8 billion dollars
this was
as a result of the Asian Financial crisis that made my father company
Amedeo
Development Company and government owned Brunei investment company to
be
declared bankrupt during his tenure in the office. However my father
was kept
under house arrest, his bank account and private properties including
a crude
oil export refinery were later confiscated by 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 not having
access to
phones but I have a palm V hand -held computer from which I am
sending you
this e-mail. Some of the guard here are still loyal to me, so they
would be my
contact with you if there is any documents I need to send to you to
enable you
have access
to this funds and invest it for me. Before my in-castration, I went
ahead to
dispatch the sum of One Hundred and Fifty million United States
Dollars
{USD$150,000,000.00} in cash under special arrangement into the
custody of
different private Banks and trust company's for safe keeping abroad.
I seek your good assistance to invest these funds into a profitable
investment
in your country to facilitate future survival for my family abroad.
After due
deliberation with my aids we decided to offer a certain percentage to
you as
compensation for your co-operation and kind sincerity to carry out
this
assignment.
Since there will be an expenditure from your side, I will advice you
not to
worry about it because you will be reimbursed any amount you may
spend as to
enable this transaction get to it's final dream, for both local and
international expenses will be given to you back while you will be
part of the
beneficiary of any investment made with this cash, to add to that, I
will like
to let to your understand that all this is not part of your financial
compensation that will be given to you.

confidentiality,
