Dear Sir,
I greet you in the name of ALLAH MOST MERCIFUL. I
am Mr. Shaik Raheem a
close (financial) confident to the late Palestine
leader Yessar Arafat, who died
in a French hospital, on the 11th of November
2004. I was in charge of his investment outside
Palestine. Prior to his death, we had plans to buy up
an electronics company in Cairo Egypt and also expand
one of his hotels in Tunisia, these we could not
accomplished before his death.
The funds to carry out these projects are in my
custody, a total sum of 31.7M USD (Thirty one
million,seven hundred thousand U.S dollars)
Since, his death the Palestinian interim
government has been threatening to carry out an
investigation on his wealth, but the truth of the
matter is that this money was gotten from his numerous
investments around the world and from political allies
.
They have also seized some of his properties from
his wife, in view of this i decided to package this
money in a diplomatic luggage and ferriy it to a
security company outside Palestine through a
diplomatic means.
I just need your help me retrieve this money from
the security company, as soon as I confirm your
willingness to assist me,
I shall immediately give to you, the contact of
the security company, so that you can liaise with them
and make plans to get the money on my behalf and also
invest it in the area, I shall advice,
I am ready to give you 2% of the total money to
cover your traveling expenses and 18% of the total sum
for your assistance.
I will not be able to call you or receive calls
from you as security agents in my country are keeping
24 hrs surveillance on Arafat?s wife and me. (Suha
Arafat) Please try to keep this message very
confidential. I shall be looking forward to your
reply.
Your faithfully,
Shaik Raheem.
