Subject: FOR YOUR URGENT ATTENTION
MRS.SUHA ARAFAT
Dear Friend,
I am MRS. SUHA ARAFAT, the wife of late YASSER ARAFAT,the Palestinian leader who died 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 may view this website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3965541.stm. 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, more importantly when the woman is from a Christian background,
hence my desire for a foreign assistance.
I have deposited the sum of 27 million dollars with a Diplomatic Security firm in Europe whose name is
withheld for now until we open proper and full communication.I shall be grateful if you could receive this
fund into your bank account for safe keeping and any Investment opportunity.
This arrangement should 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 $27,000,000 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 taken 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. And you can reach me anytime on my private email suha_araf99@yahoo.ca
Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Suha Arafat
