Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Subject: YOUR KINDEST ATTENTION
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 Moslem
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 21 million dollars with a
Financial firm in Europe 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 will 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 $21,000,000 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, 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,
Suha Arafat
