Subject: Urgent Assistance Needed
Attention:
I am contacting you for guidance and assistance to enable me secure a profitable investment in your country.
I am Amin Haddad of Palestine and I served as the Personal Assistant to Late Yesser Arafat.Permit me Sir that this is my first letter to you and since we have not met or known each other before, this letter should not come as a surprise to you. I have watched closely the investment climate of your country in respect of small and medium scale industries and wish to enter into joint partnership agreement with you to invest this money in any viable venture in your country.
Before the death of Yesser Arafat, I was given the sum of $500m(Five Hundred Million Dollars) to lobby the delegates of EU (EUROPEAN UNION) member heads of state to enable him stay in power for more years as the Leader of PLO.Delegations of some countries received the money while some
rejected it due to the interest, pressure and intervention of the American Government to ensure that Yesser Arafat vacated office.
I am now in possession of $250m(Two Hundred and Fifty Million U.S Dollars) balance not spent which I want to invest in your country. This fund was deposited in a Security & Vault Company in Europe for safe custody because none of the banks in Palestine would have accepted the money without raising eyebrows on me simply because of my appointment in the president's ruling cabinet. After waiting for Yesser Arafat on what to do with this balance not spent, I did not hear from him till the time of his death, probably thinking that I spent all the money given to me.
Now, I have gotten approvals from the Security & Vault Company for the collection of this money and looking for a foreign investor/partner who will go down to Europe and collect this Fund. I am now in exile and my asylum conditions restricted me from traveling abroad without written permission from my host country.
It is due these reasons that I have decided to write and beg you for assistance for the smooth transfer of this fund abroad and also help me safe-guide this money very prudently for investment in any field of your choice.
I have set aside 30% of this money for your assistance and five per cent 5% for taxes in your country and other expenses.Please make suggestions as your opinion is highly required and forward your reply through the following e-mail address immediately you receive this message.
Upon your acceptance to assist me,kindly forward your personal data for quick and easiest transaction.Bear in mind that this is a risk free transaction as every modalities regarding the transaction is intact.
I promise that everything in respect of this transaction will be handled secretly and confidentially.Thanking you for your kind assistance.
Please send your next reply to my private email address {mr_aminhaddad@aminhaddad.zzn.com}
Regards:
Amin Haddad
