Subject: Mrs. Suha D. Arafat.
Dear Friend,
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 headed by MAHMOUD ABBAS.
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 funds 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 refuse to disclose or give up to the corrupt
Palestine Government.
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, more
importantly when the woman is from a Christian background, hence my desire for a
foreign assistance.
You and I will know this arrangement alone and all our correspondence
should be strictly on email alone because our government has tapped all
my lines and are monitoring all my moves.
In view of the above, if you are willing to assist for our mutual
benefits, i promise to give you $5 million of the $22,000,000 and the
balance will be kept in your position for a while and invested in your name
for my trust pending when my Daughter, ZAHWA, will come off age and take
full responsibility of her Family inheritance.
Please note that this is a golden opportunity that comes once in 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 accept proposal, I will give you the contacts of my
Attorney in UK who will assist you legally to claim the funds.
But if no, please do not let me out to the security and international
media as I am giving you this information on total trust and confidence
I will greatly appreciate it if you accept my proposal in good faith.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Suha D. Arafat.
