Subject: dear friend
Dear Intending partner,
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 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 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 Muslem community has no regards for woman, hence my
desire for a foreign assistance. You can visit the BBC news broadcast
below for better understanding of what I am talking about;

I have deposited the sum of 20 million dollars with a security firm
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 is known
to you and my personal Attorney.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 if you are honest, I am going to entrust more funds
inyour 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.
Send reply to my personalmailbox: (mrssuha6@excite.com)
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Suha Arafat
