Someday my prince will come?

Tyran always gets the awesome spam.

Like this gem (or rather rare diamond) from a prince who is brother to the Sultan of Brunei BUT who is in *gasp* exile in London and how his brother and his infidel advisors (And his OTHER brother who is also a Sultan) have plotted against him.

You must read this to get the full effect. (I've taken the urls out of the email)

Hello,

I believe i can call you friend,I am Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei and I am the youngest of the Sultan's three brothers but its like a joke being called a prince due to the fact that The Bruneian royal family have turned me into an out cast.I am presently on exile in London.

My Brother the Sultan of Brunei masterminded and initiated much evil against me and He envied me as a person,he envied my life style,he was intimidated by my way of life and thus plotted with his infidel advisers to get me arrested for noting.He leveled all forms of corruption allegations against me and also accused me of taking US$40 billion of the royal treasury's money.

He has labeled me a criminal and ordered for my arrest,My Brother the Sultan of Brunei did this to me his younger brother.Yes i agree that I spent Money, but I am bewildered by the accusation that i misspent $40 billion. It's not that easy to hide, I keep asking the lawyers, Where did it go?.I have already turned over billions of dollars worth of property, including the Plaza Ath�n�e hotel in Paris,The New York Palace Hotel,the giant yacht, the car collection, and more than 100 paintings by Picasso, Renoir, Modigliani and others. Late last year, I surrendered five rare diamonds, secured in a London vault, valued at roughly $200 million.

My Brother the Sultan, Hassanal Bolkiah, has ruled since 1967 and He is the world's wealthiest ruler,with an estimated fortune of $22 billion. DESPITE HIS WEALTH, he still feels intimidated by my little Money.I have turned over the various assets, but my brother the Sultan will not let me keep enough money to maintain a more modest version of my prior lifestyle.Now the Sultan's advisers have started legal proceedings to evict me from my London mansion. We don't know where we are going to live. They want me to give it all back,i am worried that i may soon be homeless and forced into bankruptcy.

kindly Check out this above internet link for confirmations.


While in Brunei,my favorite car to drive was a Ferrari 550, a sleek sports coupe that i used to take for a spin late at night when the roads were quiet. Now, I like the Mini. I drive a black small mini around London. I am been watched by private detectives employed by my Brother the Sultan.He wants to ruin me,but he cannot.My friend, i dont know you, but from my little snooping into your profile,i strongly feel you can be of help to me.I want you to take me as a friend in need and do something for me that will also benefit you. Right now i cannot trust any body close to me.I have been betrayed by my friends and family and I am tired of talking to lawyers.

I prefer to take the Risk of soliciting the assistance of a stranger. You may think i am going crazy,but i am very sane.I still have billions of dollars safe and secure in safe countries, but i cannot touch these funds hence they are discovered by my King Brother watching my every move like a Hawk. I need you to assist me in these financial steps of securing my entitlements. You will benefit immensely from these financial exercise.I am an easy going gentleman, so please be rest assured that my business relationship with you will be very sincere and the friendship will extend to our children s.

Yours Sincerely,
Prince Jefri Bolkiah.

No crazy prince ever wants to be my friend. All the spam I get usually has to do with little blue pills. What's up with that?

An Amazing Story

This is my sister and her fiancée, Russ.

Their story is a pretty amazing story.

Some of you know it...

the rest of you are about to.

Angie and Russ are two of the most amazing people I could ever hope to know.

I've known Angie since I was born. She's my older sister by five years (although you would never guess that by looking at her. She looks like she's the younger one.)

I've know Russ almost as long. I met him when I was four and he married my oldest sister Pam.

(I heard that intake of breath. And I'm sure you may be confused. Let me help you understand.)

Those of you who read my blog regularly know that Pam died unexpectedly earlier this year. She went to sleep and never woke up. It was a very difficult time for our family.

About five weeks after she passed away my sister Angie told me that she needed to talk to me. I knew that whatever she wanted to talk to me about was important because she didn't want to talk about it over the phone. It was late in the evening when I finally made it home but she still wanted to come over and talk. I thought it had something to do with my younger brother and was not looking forward to the conversation.

When the doorbell rang and I answered it Angie was not alone. Russ stepped into the doorway as well. I was confused but didn't really know what to think of it. They came in and Ty and I sat down to talk with them.

They had come over to ask us if we would be okay with the two of them dating. (I guess that they had already talked with my five brothers and Russ had actually went and spoke to my mom about it as well.)

As the words were coming out of Russ' mouth I started shaking. Shaking and almost crying. Because right then I had remembered something. Something that I had thought at Pam's funeral. I had the thought "That would be so cool if Angie and Russ could get together." At that time I felt like I was being disloyal to Pam so I put the thought out of my head, thinking that if it did happen it would be far down the road. I never said anything about it, not even to Ty. As Angie and Russ were sitting there on my couch that evening that experience flooded back into my mind and I sat there shaking and remembering it.

Russ was concerned that people would think that it was too soon. Which is understandable.

For the past few years Pam struggled with depression, anxiety and chronic pain. Russ stood by her through it all. But I think that he mourned the loss of the woman that he fell in love with. I believe that he's mourned her for years. I don't think that it was too soon.

I gave them my blessing.

Some of you may not understand but believe me when I tell you this. I KNOW that Angie and Russ being together is a good thing.

Not only a good thing but the RIGHT thing.

An amazing, incredibly wonderful thing.

I KNOW that Pam is okay with this. Angie has been a single parent for years and she deserves a great man. Russ is that great man.

Tuesday I had the opportunity to follow them around and take their pictures. If I could bottle up the happiness that radiated from them and sell it I could make millions. Millions I tell you. I felt privileged just to be around them. Honored that they would let me share in a bit of that happiness.

Tomorrow I will have the opportunity to be there as they are married.

There's not much that could make me happier right now.

So now you know their story.

Told you it was amazing.
