From: SUHAARAFAT@tiscali.it
Date: Sun, 28 Nov 2004 21:00:31 +0100
Subject: RESPOND WITH PERSONAL DETAILED INFORMATION
SUHA ARAFAT
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 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 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 $6.5 Billion Dollars. 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 25 Million Eight hundred thousand 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 the $25,800,000 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 appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith. Please
expedite action.
Respond to: suharafat@netscape.net
Yours sincerely,
Suha Arafat
