Subject: It's Very Urgent.
Dear Friend in the Lord,Good Day,
=A0
My dear, Please read very carefully, It is with tears that I am writing thi=
s message to you from a hospital bed far away from my home where I have no =
mother, father, sister , brother or any relative, in the mist of strangers =
with a diffrent language that I don't understand, imaging how painful it is=
being a cancer patient, Firstly let me introduce myself to you.
=A0
I am Mrs. Rishida Dara Hassanal Bolkiah., a widow to Late Sheik Dara Hassan=
al Bolkiah of Brunei Darussalam, I am 38years old and I have a son of 11yea=
rs of age who is at the moment in Benin Republic and I am suffering from ca=
ncer of the lungs which I will soon undergo the operation, I want to also l=
et=A0 you know that=A0 I am writing you this mail from a private hospital h=
ere where I am taking my part-time treatments,what will you do if your doct=
or come up and tell you that you have only few weeks to live? you can imagi=
ne the kind of pains I am going through.
=A0
My husband is the first Son to the last wife of King Haji Omar Ali Saifuddi=
en Sadul Khairi Waddien, the former Prime minister of Brunei Darussalam, th=
e tiny oil-rich country on the Island in South-Eastern Asia,let me save you=
r time by not amplifying my extended royal family history which has already=
been disseminated by the international media during the controversial disp=
ute that erupted between my Husband and his step-brother, the sultan of Bru=
nei H.M.Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah who is the present King/prime minister=
of Brunei.
=A0
As you may know from the international media, the sultan of Brunei accused =
my husband who is his step-brother for financial mismanagement and impropri=
ety of US$14.8 billion dollars and this was as a result of the Asian Financ=
ial crisis that made my husband's company Dara Development Company that was=
inherited by my husband and government owned Brunei investment company to =
be eclared bankrupt during his tenure in the office.However=A0 my husband w=
as kept under house arrest by his own step brother, our bank accounts and p=
rivate properties including a crude oil export refinery were later confisca=
ted by the sultan and to worsen the whole thing, he has to assassinate my b=
eloved husband and I was placed under house arrest by the sultan so that I =
will not tell the international community what has happened and that is whe=
re I developed this cancer of the lungs which is killing me now but I still=
believe that it is the will of God that life treat me this way.
=A0
To avoid further prosecution and sufferings from the sultan and his securit=
y operatives since I have lost my husband and I have my only child to keep =
me happy, I decided to leave my country Brunei to Benin Republic in West Af=
rica where my husband has deposited the sum of ($5,325,000.00 Dollars) in a=
reputable bank but unfortunately for me this my illness has became worst a=
nd I have been placed at the hospital for medical attention here, so I am p=
laning to fly to abroad for good medication and a perfect surgical operatio=
n because according to what my doctor told me that I may not live for more =
than a month without this operation, I am so scared about this because my d=
octor has made me understand that I have only 20% chance to survive this su=
rgery and for that reason, I want to make a future for my only son before u=
ndergoing this surgery so that even if I die on the process of this surgery=
, my son will be taken care of by you.
=A0
The reason why I am contacting you is to know if you can arrange for a bett=
er hospital over there so that I can come there for a better surgery and al=
so to know if you can take care of my son when I will be undergoing this su=
rgery, I have decided to give you this sum of ($5,325,000.0 Dollars) that I=
inherited from my late husband so that you can invest it in a very lucrati=
ve business in your country, we never can tell hat will happen during the s=
urgery, so that in case if anything happens to me during this operation, my=
son will have someone to take care of him and a business/funds to inherit =
for a good future or if this surgery goes well,I will have a business that =
I can use to take care of my only son.
=A0
Please note that this fund is lying with a reputable Bank here in Benin Rep=
ublic of West Africa and as I am writing this message to you from a hospita=
l Bed, I am not sure that I will survive this operation but even if I have =
to die, first I want to secure a future for my only son.
=A0
My problem now is this am afraid of people, I don't want my son to suffer o=
r cry for mother les or father les that is why am afraid I want a GOD feari=
ng or ALLAH=A0 so that this money will be invested as we planed without del=
ay and who will take a good care of my son.
=A0
You may ask yourself why=A0 I am saying all this but I believe you never ex=
perienced this kind of problem either have you meet anyone in this kind of =
situation, have you ever used a lap-top in the hospital to write a letter t=
o a stranger for help? from a foreign land where you have no father, mother=
or anyone who can help you? In the mist of people that speak entirely diff=
erent language? when all the people you trust become the people after your =
life? well, you may not understand but I want you to take this more serious=
and urgently important.
=A0
All I WANT FROM YOU IS TO TAKE THE MONEY WITH MY SON AND INVEST IT SO THAT =
YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF MY SON IF I DID NOT SURVIVE THIS.I HAVE AGREED TO GIVE=
YOU 20% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT.
=A0

y days now is being numberred,Please, know it that this is my true story an=
d I will like you to get back to me immediately with all sincererity.
