Subject: FROM MRS ARAFAT/ INVESTMENT
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mrs. Suha ARAFAT, the wife of YASSER ARAFAT, the Palestinian
leader who died recently in Paris. Since his death and even prior to
the announcement,I have been thrown into a state of
antagonism,confusion, humiliation, frustration and hopelessness by the present leadership
of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the new Prime Minister. I
have even been subjected to physical and sychological torture. As a
widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with everybody in
the country at the moment.
You must have heard over the media reports on the discovery of some
fund in my husband secret bank account and companies and the allegations
of some huge sums of money deposited by my husband in my name of which
I have refuses to disclose or give up to the corrupt Palestine
Government. In fact thetotal sum allegedly discovered by the Government so
far is in the tune of about $6.5 Billion Dollars. And they are not
relenting on their effort to make me poor for life. As the Moslem community
has no regards for women,that is my desire for a foreign assistance.
I have deposited the sum of 20 million dollars with a security firm
abroad whose name is withheld for now until we open communication. I
shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your bank account
for safe keeping and any Investment opportunity. This arrangement is
known to you and my personal Attorney.He might be dealing with you
directly for security reasons as the case may be.
In view of the above, if you are willing to assist for our mutual
benefits, we will have to negotiate on your Percentage share of he
$20,000,000 that will be kept in your position for a while and invested
in your name for my trust In case you don't accept please do not let
me out to the security and international media as I am giving you this
information in total trust and confidence I will greatly appreciate if
you accept my proposal in good faith.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Suha Arafat
