Came across this e-mail in my junk box earlier, it did make me laugh mind, spouting the usual speill about how I can become rich blah, blah, blah,
Thought I'd share it with you in here.
Assalamalakium!!!
Hello,
I got your reliable contact from the internet after a discrete search for a reliable person that i can trust with this business investment and further explicit investment information about your country. I am Prince Fayad B.S. Bolkiah, the son 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 Father 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 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's 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 outside 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 have no access to a phone but I have a Palm hand-held computer from which I am sending you this mail.
Before my incarceration, I went ahead to dispatch the sum of Five Hundred Million United States Dollars (US$500,000,000.00) in cash under special arrangement into the custody of different private security and Trustee companies for safe keeping abroad. Just like an unspecified amount of money Sadam Husseine took out of Iraq in cash.
The money were split and kept in the following countries in this proportion: US$ 120 Million is in The Netherlands, US$ 150 Million is in Spain and the balance US$ 230 Million is in United Arab Emirate.
Hence I seek your good assistance to invest these funds into profitable investment in your country to facilitate future survival for my family abroad. After due deliberation with my immediate family, we have decided to offer 20% of these funds to you as compensation for your strong cooperation while 5% have been mapped out for both local and international expenses that may be incurred during this transaction.
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. So you may contact me if this proposal appeals to your positive response so that i will let you know the next thing to do.
Many Thanks and may Allah's blessing remain with you.
I remain yours sincerely,
Prince Fayad.S.Bolkiah
Anyway after reading that load of twaddle I looked his email address this lol

Feel free to do what you wish with the fool, I know some people get duped by these type of idiots but mostly driven by greed and stupidity, it seems hard to fully sympathise with them.

but as said above for the 1000 they send out if they get 100 to respond they make a good liveing ..
notice the ones all over facebook selling pages/ groups .ect nice big pick of the latest nike trainers and a link to a site ... I know that the sites are fake and anyone who orders and pays for them will recive nothing in return ...imagine how many jermy kyle chavs that have gone wow new nikes £50 and gone and order some lol ...
