Dear Good Friend,
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 in 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 US$4Billion Dollars and they are not relenting is their efforts
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.
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
opened 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. I will provide
you with all his contact informations,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 appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith.
Please expedite action.
Yours sincerely,
Suha Arafat.
