Subject: YOUR RESPONSE IS URGENTLY NEEDED
Dear Friend,
I am MRS. SUHA ARAFAT, the wife of late 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 view this website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3965541.stm.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. And you can reach me anytime on my private email
suhazuha@aim.com
Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Suha Arafat
