Subject: Help in sincerity
Dear Friend, I am Mrs. SUHA ARAFAT, the wife of 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 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.
