Dear Sir,
I am Mrs. Suha Arafat, the wife of Yasser Arafat, the
Palestinian leader who died recently in Paris France.
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 headed by MAHMOUD ABBAS.
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.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 and my late husband deposited the sum of 6.5 million dollars
with a Financial firm in Europe/Canada 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, i promise to give you 30% of the $6,500,000 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 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.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Suha Arafat
