This scam preys on emotions of Muslims, asking them to donate to a foundation headed by Sultan Hassan Bolkiah, Sultan of Brunei.
Of course, a foundation by the name "Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Foundation" does exist. However, it would not need to ask for money (Brunei and the Sultan are oil rich), nor will it do so via an obscure email.
Here is the text of the mail:

Subject: Stand up for Islam
From: "Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah" <sultan@netkad.com.bn>
To: foundation@netkad.com.bnGreetings in the name of Allah, the most beneficent,the most merciful.
Dear friend in Islam,
In todays world where Islam is being linked to terrorism we muslims have a duty to defend our good religion thereby exonerating ourselves from the negative image being created by western media against our faith. No one else but we muslims can do this for ourselves. Age or gender is not a barrier you can always make an impact no matter who you are.
The sultan of Brunei is currently funding muslims willing to take up a role for the propagation of the good message of Islam. This is the work of ALLAH which we Muslims are called as revealed to his holliness prophet Muhammad(peace be unto his name). We must not continue allowing the western media determine the image of Islam to the whole world.
If you are willing to stand up for our faith please indicate your interest and also a pledge to use any money received judiciously. Then will my international fund managers contact you to raise you a bank draft/cheque. Since this is also a way of paying my zakat(Qur'an 9:60) I am still deciding on the amount you will receive but be informed when you receive the money you use it for the propagation of the good message of Islam for example in radio talk shows , TV , print , internet or any medium prefarable to you like charity works.If you are not in position to undertake this responsibility you may simply pass on any money received to any good muslim within your community who you feel can undertake this project, all I want is good results no matter how money spent.
Your response and any gratitude should be sent to the Sultan Haji Foundation at email: foundation@netkad.com.bn to the attention of my secretary Mr.Yang Mulia Awang Haji or to Mr.J. H.Bin Lunchai. Note that message sent otherwise will not get a reply.

financial/technological help
Tue, 2011/12/13 - 06:59Expectations/Appeal:-
To establish the Rahima Mohammad Ali Memorial General Hospital in Moheshpur, Jhenaidhah, Bangladesh.I need financial and technological help from the kind hearted and legened personality and any organization of the world.Please contact me.
Object: we are going to establish a general Hospital in the remote area of Jhenaidah district where the rate of illiteracy is very high.The common people of this area are not conscious about their health and sanitation.As a result they are stuttering from various diseases.They do not get any medical support they have not sound financial condition to get proper treatment.On the other hand the villagers are not able to go to district town far treatment because they are living for away from the town.So we hope to establish a Hospital to solve their problem about health.We also hope that this Hospital will help the village people to solve their problem.But it's a mammoth task for us to establish such service cent re without the financial and technical help of the kind hearted people of the society.
Thanking all

Assalamu Alaikum
I, above named, forwarding a humble request for a financial help as my husband passed away last month (23.12.2011).Now, I am praying "IDDAH" islamic obligation. I have three female children who are aged between 03-10.I am unable to earn money nowadays for my cost of living due to the "IDDAH" obligation.
My husband was a mowlavi (Islamic clergy) graduated from Al-Hamiya arabic college, Kalmunai, Sri Lanka and also a member of Jamiyathul Ulama Secretary, Sainthamaruthu branch.He was our bread-winner.After his missing we are suffering without managing our cost of living.
Hence, I shall be very much thankful if you could help me even until the completion of "IDDAH" period.
Yours truly,
A.R.Mowfiya Nasrudeen.
