Dear Friend,
Date: 21st NOVEMBER 2005
This mail may not be surprising to you if you have been
following current events in the international media with
reference to the Middle East and Palestine in particular.
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 [PLO] and the
new Prime Minister. I have even been subjected to physical
and psychological 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 and the
Internet 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 the total sum
allegedly discovered by the Government so far is in the
tune of about $4.0 Billion Dollars. And they are not
relenting on their effort to make me poor for life. As you
know, in the Muslem world women take a backrole
in the affairs of the state, hence my desire for a foreign
assistance.For more on the media report you can log onto:

I have deposited the sum of US$20,000,000 {Twenty million
US Dollars}with a security firm abroad,with whose name is
withheld for now until we have 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 will be dealing with you directly for security reasons
as the case may be. His name is Jacque Laurent. He is
based in London.For further inquiry please contact him on

He shall provide you with all his contact
informations,like phone and fax numbers,to ease
communications between you and him, he shall guide you
through to the end of this transactions and that is, if
you are willing to render the assistance that i need at
this piont in time.
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 the $20,000,000 that will be kept in
your position for a while and invested in your name for my
trust pending when my Daughter, Zahwa,will come off age
and take full responsibility of her Family
Estate/inheritance.
Please note that this is a golden opportunity that comes
once in life time and more so, if you are honest, I am
going to entrust more funds in your care as this is one of
the legacy we keep for our children.
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
