Hello,
I am Prince Fayad Musa Bolkiah, the eldest son of Prince Jefri Bolkiah, former
Finance Minister of Brunei , the oil-rich sultanate on the Gulf Island of
Borneo. 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 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 fathers company
Amedeo Development 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 out of the sultanate to avoid further prosecution from the
sultan, but before I could, I was placed under house arrest with no access to
phone, but I have a laptop which I use to communicate.
However, before my arrest, I dispatched the sum of four hundred, twenty million
United States dollars (US$420,000,000.00) valued private safety deposit with
the assistance of a foreign diplomat who resides in Europe. The funds have now
been deposited as safety deposit / family valuables into different private
security and trust company for safe keeping in Europe.
The funds (safety deposit) was split and kept in the following countries in
this proportion: $170 million in Spain , $190 million in France and $60 million
in Holland . I kindly require your assistance as a representative designate /
foreign partner to claim and invest these funds into real estate/properties to
guarantee the future of my family, beginning with that in Holland. If you are
prepared to render your sincere assistance, do not fail to contact me
immediately to furnish you with details of this proposal.
For your assistance, you will receive 45% of each funds claimed and another 5%
will be set aside to defray any expenses that maybe incurred during claim.
Please I count on your absolute confidentiality, transparency and trust while
looking forward to your prompt response towards a swift conclusion of this
business transaction through my email address as thus: yabdolkia@lycos.com
Thank you & May Allah's blessing dwell upon you.
Yours sincerely,
Prince Fayad Bolkiah.
