Subject: I NEED YOUR HELP
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.
Sincehis
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 LiberationOrganization and the new
Prime
Minister. I have even been subjected tophysical 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 secret
bank
account and companiesand 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 the total sum allegedly discovered
by
the Government so far is in the tune of about
$6.5Billion
Dollars. And they are not relenting on their effort to
make
mepoor for life. As you know, the Moslem community has
no
regards forwomen, more importantly when the woman is
from
a Christian background,hence my desire for a foreign
assistance.
I have the sum of 20million dollars with a financial
firm
in Europe whose name I can not disclose for now for
security reasons until we open up communication.
Ishall be
grateful if you could receive this fund into your
bank
account for safe keeping and any Investment
opportunity.
Thisarrangement will be known to you and I alone and
all
our correspondence should be strictly on email alone
because our government has tapped all my lines and are
monitoring all my moves.
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
keptin
your possession 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 thisis 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 asthis 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 confidenceI will
greatly
appreciate if you accept my proposal in good
faith.Please
expedite action.
