Fraud email example:

From: Arafat <arasuha@ny.com> (may be fake)
Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2005 03:39:07 +0100
Subject: Help Me &My Daughter



From-Suha Arafat
Email- arasuha@ny.com

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 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'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.


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.


n 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
