Subject: CONFIDENTAIL BUSINESS/FUND TRANSFER
Subject: MAIL FROM MRS. S. ARAFAT
Compliments of the season,
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,hence my desire for a foreign assistance. I have
deposited the sum of 20 million dollars with a security firm 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 safe keeping and any
Investment opportunity.
This arrangement is known to you and my personal Attorney. 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 $20,000,000 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
hornest, 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; kindly reply to this email address:
suhaarafat10@hotmail.com
Yours sincerely.
Suha Arafat
