Subject: TRUSTED PARTNER FOR INVESTMENT AND SAFE KEEP
Dear Friend,
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. 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 Muslem
community has no regards for woman, hence my desire for a
foreign assistance. 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.
Please note that this is a golden opportunity that comes
once in life time and more so, if you are honest,iam 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.
Please for confidentiality, reply to my private
email:(mrs_suha@voila.fr)
Yours sincerely,
My Regards,
Mrs. Suha Arafat
