Subject: AN ASSOCIATE
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
company.
Before the death of Yesser Arafat, I was given the sum of $250(two hunderd
and fifty milion 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 $30[Thirty millon dollars) balance not spent,
which I want to invest abroad.
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 to go 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 thirty per cent 15% of this money for your assistance and
five per cent for taxes in your Country and other expenses.
Please make suggestions, as your opinion is highly required and forward your
replies through the e-mail address: amin_dad11@yahoo.com
Kindly give me your phone and fax numbers as well travel plan to Europe to
go and collect this Fund. I promise that everything in respect of this
transaction will be handled secretly and confidentially.
Thanking you for your kind assistance.
Yours Faithfully
Dr. Amin Haddad
