Subject: CAN I TRUST YOU
Dear Sir,
I greet you in the name of ALLAH MOST MERCIFUL. I am Mr. Mohammed Rashid a close (financial) confident to the late Palestine leader Yessar Arafat, who died
in a French hospital, on the 11th of November 2004. I was in charge of
his investment outside Palestine. Prior to his death, we had plans to buy up an electronics company in Cairo Egypt and also expand one of his hotels in Tunisia, these we
could not accomplished before his death. The funds to carry out these projects are in my custody, a total sum of 31.7M USD (Thirty one million, seven hundred thousand U.S dollars).
Since, his death the Palestinian interim government has been threatening to carry out an investigation on his wealth, but the truth of the matter is that this money was gotten
from his numerous investments around the world.
They have also seized some of his properties from his wife, in view of this i decided to package this money in a diplomatic luggage and ferried it to a security company
outside Palestine through a diplomatic means. I just need your help me retrieve this money from
the security company, as soon as I confirm your willingness to assists me, I shall
immediately give to you, the contact of the security company, so that you can be able
to liaise with them and make plans to get the money on my behalf and also invest it in the area, i shall advice, i am ready to give you 2% of the total money to cover your traveling
expenses and 18% of the total sum for your assistance. I will not be able to call you or receive calls from you as security agents in my country are keeping 24 hrs surveillance on Arafat’s wife and me. (Suha Arafat) Please try to keep this message very confidential. I shall be looking forward to your reply. Please do reply to my private email address below. mhrashidmed@yahoo.com
