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 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,
Suha Arafat
