Subject: BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
Good day,
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 France. 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 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 Moslem community
has no regards for woman, hence my desire for a foreign assistance.
You can visit the BBC news broadcast below for better
understanding of what I am talking about;

I have deposited the sum of $12.5M (Twelve Million Five
Hundred Thousand United States 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 $12.5M
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 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. I
want you to reach me as soon as you receive this message for more
important discussion and on how to proceed, through my private
email address: (suhaarafat@o2.pl). Don't forget to include your
details information and your telephone numbers for easier
communication.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Suha Arafat
