Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
I am MRS. SUHA ARAFAT, the wife of late YASSER ARAFAT,the Palestinian leader
who died 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 view this website:

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 Muslem community has no regards for woman, more importantly
when the woman is from a Christian background, hence my desire for a foreign
assistance.
I have deposited the sum of Fourty-Three million dollars with a Diplomatic
Security firm in Europe whose name is withheld for now until we open proper
and full communication.I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund
into your bank account for safe keeping and any Investment opportunity. This
arrangement should be known to you and I 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, we will have to negotiate on your Percentage share of the
$43,000,000.00 that will be kept in your possession 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 Estate/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
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 immediately.
You can reach me anytime on my private at mrs_arafat3@myway.com
Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Suha Arafat
