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.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 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, hence my
desire for a foreign assistance. 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 this is a
golden opportunity that comes once in life time and more so, if you are
hornest, 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 expediate action.Please kindly reply to my
private email address (mrsarafatsua2@yahoo.fr)
Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Suha Arafat
