Subject: URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED PLEASE !!!
Dear Sir/Madam
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 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 $6.5 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, hence my desire for a
foreign
assistance. You can visit the BBC news broadcast below for better
understanding of what I am talking about;

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3995769.stm
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.
Pelase note that this is a golden opportunity that comes once
in a
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 and get back to me
with
the address below.

Yours sincerely,
Mrs Suha Arafat.
