Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled
"Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for
my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner
or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly
come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of
money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

Dear Friend,
I am contacting you for an urgent assistance to mobilize a business
transaction and further explicit investment information about
your country from my attorney in London, who has been of great
assistance to my family since our departure from Brunei due to the human
right abuses in my country. I am Prince Fayad Bolkiah, the eldest 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 m! ade 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. Some of the guard here are still loyal to me,
so they would be my contact with you if there is any document I need to
send to you to enable you collect the boxes of money on my
behalf.
In addition, before my incarceration, I went a! head
to dispatch the sum of ninety five Million United States D ollars
US$95,000,000.00) in cash under special arrangement into the custody of
different private security and Trustee Companies for safe keeping abroad.
The money were splited and kept in the following countries in
this proportion: US$40 Million is in Britain,us$30 million in
switzerland,the balance US$25 Million is in Canada. 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 aids we have decided to offer 20% of these funds to
you as compensation for your strong cooperation while certain percentage
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 transaction. You

situation:-
