Dear Friend,
I
am contacting you for an urgent assistance to mobilize 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 dead 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 outside the
sultanate to avoid further prosecution from the
sultan and his
security operatives but I was so lucky to flee from my country and
escape to Malaysia,I am in the refugee camp as an
asylum seeker,I am now kept under the custody of united nation in Malaysia and I have no access to a phone.
Before
my escape to Malaysia,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 one of the security company/bank here
in Malaysia for safe keeping,this action was on the
orders of my husband to me to enable us start a new life before his death
Hence
I seek your good assistance to invest these funds into profitable
investment in your country to facilitate our future survival in
your country,I have decided to offer 35% 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:

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. You can reach me on my email address (princess_fayad@live.com)
Many Thanks & May Allah's blessings remain with you.
I remain yours sincerely,
Princess Fayad W. Bolkiah.

This is just a small sampling of the
many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at
419BAITER
headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!
There are many different types of 419 scam (examples)
but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary /
commision,
low-interest loan, lottery prize,
bargain gold dust / diamonds,
work visa, etc.) in return
for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no
fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get
you to
willingly send them money.

section.
NOTE TO
DUMBASS SPAMMERS:
My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good
but it isn't perfect.
Occasionally a regular spam e-mail will get mistakenly published here
as
a
419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish
to have your crap mistakenly published on this website as a
419
advance fee
scam, the solution is
simple. Don't mail your crap to harvested e-mail
addresses.
