SOME ONE NEEDS TO TELL THE PRINCE WHERE BORNEO IS!!! REALLY PEOPLE MUST THINK EVERYBODY IS AS STUPID AS THEY ARE! I GUESS IT ONLY TAKES 1 STUPID PERSON....
Dear Friend,
I am Prince Fayad W. Bolkiah, the eldest son of Prince Jefri Bolkiah, former Finance Minister of Brunei, the tiny 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 father 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 I had no access to phone, but I have a hand-held computer from which I am sending you this mail. Some of the guard here are still loyal to me.
Before my incarceration, I went ahead to dispatch the sum of Sixty Million United States Dollars (US$60,000,000.00)
in cash with the assistance of a foreign diplomat who now reside
in Europe.The money has now been deposited as valuables into different private security and trust company's for safe keeping abroad.The money where splited and kept in the following countries in this proportion: US$20 Million is in London, US$20 Million is in Spain, US$20 Million is in Holland.
Please if you know you can assist in claiming and investing it in real estate/property to guanrantee the future survival of my family, contact me fast so that i'll give you contact imformation of the official of the company who is also my liason officer in-charge of deposit and who will assist you in claiming the funds with the security company in europe.
For your assistance i will compensate you with 25% of the total sum and another 5% shall be set aside to defray any expenses tha may arise.
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.

HMMM...Which GULF? LOL. This is the same letter sent regarding the fortune of Edi Amin with an Indonesian twist.
Sadly, my friend's sister fell for the earlier version to the tune of several thousand $$ several years ago.

You have got to wonder at the gullible fools that want to be parted from their money should they answer such emails. It helps to think of it as a "tax" on those greedy souls of a simple disposition...
