Dear Intending partner,
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 HAJIA 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 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 Muslim 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 20 million 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 $20,000,000 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.Note, 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. Send reply to my personalmailbox at
