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 Dr. Ahmoud Ibrahim, a banker to YASSER ARAFAT, the Palestinian leader who died recently in Paris.
Since his death and even prior to the announcement, the nation 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 (Mahmoud Abbas).
You must have heard over the media reports and the Internet on the discovery of some fund in some secret bank account and companies and the allegations of some huge sums of money deposited by him or for him in different banks all over the world, One of such banks is the bank I audit and I was also his enforcer. I can say this money cannot be traced and 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.
He deposited the sum of 9.5 million dollars through me with a finance house 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 safekeeping and any Investment opportunity. I am in a good position to see to it that this transaction is done with out any form of mistake. I also have document to back your claim if you are interested in helping out. Only you and my personal Attorney know this arrangement. 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 $9,500,000 that will be kept in your position for a while and invested in your name for my trust pending when things will be ok for me to come over and collect my share of the money.
Please note that this is a golden opportunity that comes once in lifetime 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.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. AHMOUD IBRAHIM.
