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 Palestinein
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 psychological torture.As a widow that is so traumatizing, 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 Government. 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 women, more importantly when the woman is from a Christian
background, hence my desire for a foreign assistance.
I have the sum of 21 million dollars with a financial firm in Europe whose
name I can not disclose now for security reasons until we open up 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 correspondences 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 tonegotiate on your Percentage share of the $21,000,000 that will
be kept in your possession for a while and invested in your name for my trust
pending when my Daughter,Zahwa, will come off
ageand 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.
Now my questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust as a widow?
3. What will be your commission?
4. Can you be chanced to come down to Europe,for conclusion.
In case you don't accept the offer,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 Respond urgently.
Yours sincerely,
Suha Arafat
