Subject: RE:HELP?
Dear Friend,
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 psychological torture.
As a widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with everybody
in the country at the moment. You view this website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3965541.stm 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 $6.5 Billion Dollars. And they are not relenting on
their effort to make me poor for life. As you know, the Muslem community
has no regards for woman, more importantly when the woman is from a
christian background, hence my desire for a foreign assistance.
I have deposited the sum of 21 million dollars with a Financial firm
in Europe 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 will be known to you and I alone and all our
correspondence should be strictly on email alone because our government has
tapped all my lines and are monitoring all my moves.
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
$21,000,000 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 taken 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 appreciate if you accept my proposal in good
faith.
Please expedite action.
Yours sincerely,
Suha Arafat
