Dear 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 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 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
overnment.
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 Moslem community has no regards for woman, more importantly
when the woman is from a christian background, hence my desire for a foreign
assistance.
I have deposited the sum of 21 million dollars with a Financial firm in
Europe 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 I alone and all our correspondence should be strictly confidential.
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 $21,000,000 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.
