Subject: Help me and my daughter
Dear Sir/madam,
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 Daoud Arafat, the wife of YASSER ARAFAT, the Palestinian
leader who died 11 November 2004 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 must have heard over the media reports and the Internet on the
discovery of some fund in my husband's 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 refused 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 $300 million. And they are
not relenting on their effort to make me poor for life. As you know, the
Muslim community has no regards for women, hence my desire for a
foreign assistance.
I have deposited the sum of $18.5million dollars with a presidential
finance house 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 will be known to you and my personal Assistant because if i get
an attorney,there is every possibility that the informations might be
exposed and with an unknown person in the society who is well furnished
and educated,this transaction will be 100% successful if you follow our
guidelines i assure you of that fact because with his assistance,noone
will have an idea of what i am doing provided you keep this business
strictly to yourself. He might be dealing with you directly for security
reasons as the case may be.
This is my later husband loot:http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/11/12/1100227585454.html?from=storylhs
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 of 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 appreciate if you accept my proposal in
good faith.
Please expedite action and reply to: suharas02@aim.com
Yours sincerely,
Suha Arafat
